I just don't see where the Mitchell stoppage is coming from I dont see him as a bigger puncher than Martinez or Katsidis and the Burns who was knocked down many times by Johanssen is a far different fighter now, I can just see Mitchell tiring from round 6 six on he not been active enough to realize just how much Burns will make him work at Burns pace of the fight
Mitchell looks in great nick in this video http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/19648149 Think Burns has too well rounded a jab though. UD
Mitchell Before the Kats fight Mitchell added: "The waiting is over. I've trained long and hard for this one. "Katsidis keeps saying that he's not watched any videos of me and he hasn't got a game plan, but I don't believe that for a minute. He's going to go in there fully prepared, and so am I, and it's going to be a classic." http://www.wbo-europe.com/news/katsidis-mitchell-weight-in/
Two of my fav British boxers and I cant be sad if either wins but really hoping Mitchell pulls it off!!!
As an Essex boy it pains me to say it, but Burns wins on points. Hope Mitchell can pull off the upset though!
I think Burns on points, but I have a feeling its going to be close... Mitchell is no mug by a long shot, im worried.:think
I'll take Burns consistancy and straight punches (with the odd left hook downstairs) over Mitchells angles and countering I think. Mitchells defence is rather leaky by comparison and Burns should take a clear ud.
