    only seen him in one fight almost 2 years back. he looks good but seamed to get hit a lot. that isnt good vs someone like katsidis

    yeah i liked the look of him. is he stepping up too quick vs a fighter like katsidis, or is he ready to be tested?

    quick counter puncher who has some pop and can bang in the pocket when he wants to... bloody tough too... this will be a huge assignment for katsidis IMO

    Top little fighter. If he sticks to boxing, he's got a hell of a chance of beating Mick. If he stands and trades, he falls into Mick's style of fighting and I think he'll get dusted. Very interesting fight, one I'd certainly pay to watch.

    Yeah I think its going to be a great fight....Katsidis has got better over his last few fights as well...he looks for the entry now and doesnt lean into the other fighter as much.

    If Mitchell can keep working on the outside and make Kats miss hes got a fair chance....however I think he will get drawn into a punchup looking for a KO and that gives the advantage back to Kats :bbb

    cool feedback

    standing and trading wont be the wisest thing for mitchell but that done katsidis will walk over him. mitchell is tough as **** and 1 thing for sure its gona be 1 to remember.

    as u say katsidis has added bits to his game. do u know his regular sparring partners

    fighting in his backyard may actually be to mitchells detriment. If he gets caught up with chanting etc for engaging, he might try to bring the fight to kats and get smoked. He looks good, but if it turns into a war - katsidis is better.

    Good on both fighters for taking this fight. Risky fight for both. Step up for mitchell, and its always tough travelling to/fighting in england.
