Burns v Mitchell - Is this a crossroads fight?

good point tony,the only thing i'd add to that is ricky's defence is watertight were as kevin's clearly isn't,speed goes with ricky as well without any doubt,don't get me wrong kevin's a tough guy but he'll find burns equally as tough.

 

mitchell will be too strong and too quick so I expect him to stop burns around the 5th or 6th

 

jigsawigsaw ricky burns as never been stopped ever and has been in with harder punchers than kevin (arthur),to even think that kevin is faster with either hands or feet is almost laughable mate. ricky will, either stop kevin or win on points, imo i cant see what dept kevin is better than ricky

 

Heart??

Don't get me wrong, I would be delighted to see Burns come through this (using the soltaire tinted glasses again) but the one thing I think Mitchell may have over Ricky is his heart and determination. I think everyone knows what Mitchell is bringing to the table, this fight will hinge on whether Burns has the skills to out box him

 

op

Can see this one getting interesting :nut

 

Burns is a walk over for Mitchell. Very disapinted in Mitchell taking this fight. Still I hope Burns pulls off a major upset.

 

Burns, Taylor, Froch, Ward, Haye and Pacqauio all winners in the upcoming weeks :good

 

Kevin Mitchell with a late knock out but i can see Burns giving him his hardest fight to date, Hes a very awqaurd fighter.

 

Burns will stop Mitchell I feel. I've watched both all the way through there careers and although i'm pals with Billy and Ricky, I have always been a fan of Mitchell. If Ricky boxes- and fights when he has to- he will definately win the fight. He is more versatile then Kevin - or at least thus far he has shown himself to be. Mitchell will have to fight the fight of his career to win this and although the CJ bout points to a Mitchell win, I feel Burns is a completely different proposition and would have stood CJ on his head if they had met 'now'.

 

imo kevin mitchell wins this fight, obviously im biased as he is my friend, but I do honestly think he will win. I repect all of your views, I just think mitchell has the edge. I also think mitchell will be the favourite with the bookies.
