mitchell has heart and a good chin, but right now i think khan edges it. mitchell seems to be progressing at a snails pace - i hope his opponent in the states is someone at least as good as johanneson.
Would be a good fight! Mitchell would probably win the fight but Khan would get it on points, ie Keving gets robbed.
Mitchell looked much too easy to hit in his last fight. I'm not much of a fan of Khan but I'd pick him to win this one.
I'm no Khan lover, but anyone who thinks Mitchell could do a job on Khan I will no longer pay attention to in the forums. A good day to you.
I like the kid Mitchell, he's got a lot of good things going for him, as well as a lot of obvious flaws, but I don't think he'd beat Khan I think it would be Khan's most competetive fight to date though, as he can punch pretty hard and has nice variety to his work. Khan is just a little bit quicker, especially with his hands, and is not so vunerable defensively, which is saying something...
Mitchell would make a real fight of it but the amount of shots he takes flush to the head (even against extremely limited opposistion) would spell an early to mid-rounds stoppage for Khan whose size and power would be too much. It would be a lively first couple of rounds though.
I'm no fan of Khan, but I can't see him losing to Mitchell at this stage. He has the height, reach, speed and power advantage. Even with the chin and defence issues, that will be enough to take him to a mid-rounds KO. Might be a good first couple of rounds though.
We could definetly get an upset in this fight. Two very aggresive fighters with naff all defense and good power. Mitchell could easily tag Khan and stop him early but realisically Khan has got to be a huge favorite.
Mitchell early on really was quite terrible. It appears Cook has nurtured his ability well, however he is still lacking. He is a good all rounder but like Nicky Cook and maybe Arthur a good solid boxer lacking that special something. That extra bit of speed, intelligence, power etc Mitchell can improve much more so he still has potential to nurture. I hope he does. Khan is taller, rangier, faster and more skilled. Khans pulled off moves that Mitchell dreams about. Khans done things in the ring that Mitchell would **** up trying to do on pads.
Khan too much for Mitchell no matter how ya look at it, Mitchell got decent skills and good heart tho. Dont think Khan's chin as bad as made out, hopefully his punch resistance will improve in time with taking shots, maybe not like, but a lot of chins buckle early in career.
