    Mitchell could beat Bey but....

    119-109 Bey

    Mitchell needs the fight in the UK because judging by that scorecard last night Bey only has to stay upright to get a decision in the USA.

    Bey won't cross the Atlantic for Mitchell.

    Kevin's capable of going over there and beating him I'd think

    This. Both times Mitchell has stepped up, Burns and Katsidis, he has been knocked out. Neither Burns nor Katsidis are really world class operators. Both are top level domestic and fringe level world contenders but neither are A level talent on the world scene.

    Bey is no better than Burns or Katsidis so far

    Mitchell has the talent but it all depends on which Kevin shows up on the night if it's the version that fought Burns/Katsidis he might struggle but if it's the one who fought Presscott he has a great chance. Bey is there for the taking but after that card on Saturday night I'd be nervous of going to the states fighting on a mayweather promotions card.

    Honestly see all this **** depends which Kevin turns up or not, boxers have responsibility to produce a coach can get them in perfect condition and looking great in the gym but if they for instance don't listen to advice then there only going to go one way.
    The other is Kevin was simply beaten by two better guys

    Another thing , how the fcuk did Bey get an ibf title shot so quick after getting spanked out by john molina in july last year , makes a mockery of a world title that imo

    That was down to Moore losing to Rhodes who then got a shot at Alvarez

    I remember Moore could have been stepped up to fight for the European after the Sebastian Lujan fight, but it was something to do with Zauerbek Baysangurov being the Champ.

    Both have dodgy chins at times, but Mitchell is the much harder puncher and I think he showed a much better chin in the Maduma fight than we've seen from him in quite a while,Mitchell was worryingly easy to hit but Bey is no world beater himself as we all know

    this would be a much easier fight for him to win than Vazquez stylistically, porbably Kevins best chance of winning a title
