    Mitchell on his game takes this one, fairly comfortably in the end.

    yeah I know people think he bottles the big ones, or maybe he doesn't have a chin but imo he wouldn't bottle it or struggle with the power vs Rees and he is a very classy boxer. Hard to say though, I hope this one happens.

    Depends as both like to get cocky and hot headed at stupid times. They are actually both good boxers, but they dont use it, they want to scrap and be bravado. Which sees them lose fights. However, if Mitchell is to team up with Booth, I think thats the calm and collected advice Mitchell desperately needs.

    It would be an interesting fight for sure, and one I would like to see. Could be a KO/TKO either way, or it could be a 12 round war.

    This is the sort of fight we want!

    Mitchell could outbox his way to a wide UD providing hes on his game, can never write off rees but Mitchell is an excellent boxer when he turns up.

    I agree Mitchell can be classy when he wants to be, plus he packs a bit of a punch. He was classy against Prescott and boxed well against an in form Murray (who I believe is on the same level as Rees).

    Mitchell decision, Rees doesnt have enough power to crack that chin
    Rees' comin forward style would play into Mitchells style a bit like the Murray fight

    Rees has a higher KO % than Burns. No-one thought Burns would crack that chin.

    yeah tbh i dont trust Mitchells chin but Burns was the bigger man, Rees would be punchin up
    Rees could hurt him any time but if Mitchell fights like the Prescott and Murray fight he could win by decision
    the Burns fight they were both tryin to claim centre ring Mitchell is best on the backfoot

    And possibly going to be trained by Booth now, which seems a good fit

    Hmmm, not sure, both good boxers that yeah have lost fights when got into a bit of a tear up, but that's what makes the difference I think between the best guys and the ones that fall a bit short. Standing and banging still needs to be controlled and you controlling it.

    Decent fight that should be made

    Rees would be too much. Too quick and strong on the inside.

    Was really impressed by Rees at the weekend but don't think he has the power to hurt Mitchell, if Mitchell wasn't damaged goods I'd back him but as it is think Rees wins a close decision
