    Mitchell-Liles:

    Liles-Mitchell took place in a state which was still using the three kd rule. A rule that all other states had abandoned

    The fight was ruled a tko because Liles was 'dropped' three times during the eleventh round, but if you watch the fight you will see that the second kd was a push

    Go to 55:20
    Second kd a push

    After the last kd the fight was stopped even though Liles was on his feet and prepared to continue

    Mitchell hardly threw any punches during that fight because he had given up after round 2. After round 9 he tells his corner that he cant win the fight

    End of round 9
    Go to 47:40

    Mitchell: I can't beat him
    Trainer: What is this bull****? You cant beat him? Your fighting for the championship? What the **** are you doing?

    post fight interview:

    Go to 57:01
    Jim Gray to Mitchell:
    Byron it looked like you were hesistant to throw a punch. You lost 9 of the 11 rounds

    Jim Gray to Liles:
    Go to 59:35
    Were you confused by his inactivity? His refusal to throw punches?

    Mitchell lost 9 of the 11 rounds and won because the ref called a push a kd

    As much as i like Eubank it's Calzaghe. The Hopkins Calzaghe beat even at 43 was better than anyone Eubank beat.
