    No Burns does not have the power to bother Mitchell, if it went the distance i think Burns would have a good chance of wining, but we do not know if Burns foot work etc would be as good under the pressure and power from Mitchell, I think its a real 50/50 fight. Mitchell will need a good few warm up fights before he goes after a world title shot.

    Burns would give Mitchell a slight schooling, but that's not to say he wins. 2 scenarios for me are Ricky winning a UD easily or Mitchell stopping Burns around the tenth through referee intervention after losing for most of the fight - ala Johanssen.

    burns ud

    wot needs to be taken into account on the subject of burns recent improvements is that until after the johannsen fight he boxed out of his local amateur club. only after that defeat did he come to billy nelson a proper pro trainer and is improving with every fight. getting power behind his shots , working to the body etc. the best is yet to come !!!
