    How do you see this intriguing match up go between Chacon and Mitchell? Does Chacon make this a tough all-out brawl or can Mitchell outbox Chacon?

    I love both guys for completely different reasons: Bobby is a heart-on-his-shirtsleeve warrior and Brian is a cool-as-the-other-side-of-the-pillow technician.

    I just can’t see the Schoolboy imposing his will on Mitchell and turning it into a slugfest — his kind of fight.

    Brian is too skilled, too good at controlling distance and has too high a ring IQ to play into Bobby’s hands. If it’s a boxing match, a test of skills, Mitchell comfortably walks away with a decision. And that’s what I’d expect to see here.

    Brian excelled in the pocket slipping and countering with more skill, and had to prove it always on the road .. BUT I'm going against the grain. As Bobby's competition is so much far superior than Brains , as he fought so many tougher better boxers. .I'm taking the school boy from LA being a little bit too tough for Brian in a

    I have not seen enough Chacon to make a fair evaluation. But I will say that Mitchell excelled in beating come-forward sluggers. He'd make them miss, tag them, move or duck make them miss and repeat. Ironic since he himself started out as a slugger they called 'the meatgrinder' locally.

    Chacon was deceptively slick, skilled, had a boatload of dog in him. And he could punch. Unless you can punch like Olivares, it's a hard row to hoe. I think he beats Brian, who I feel is underrated.
