He isn't Cockney strictly speaking. Just another kid from Essex who insists he is from East London. The 'East End Pie and Mash shop' that Steve Bunce interviewed him in was actually in Hornchurch. Kevin is from Dagenham I believe. Despite him being a local fighter I've never really taken much of a liking to Mitchell. His brother Vinny's girlfriend did nothing to ingraciate me to the Mitchell clan any further at his last bout either!!! Good luck to the lad but I've always liked Johannsen. A good honest copme forward fighter who has come up through the ranks the hard way despite various set backs. I've like him ever since the Corcoran bout when he looked devastating and a real prospect. It appears he is struggling with a serious injury of some description and Mitchell is certainly good enough to capatalise on a depreciated CJ. Mitchell by stoppage.
I love all these non-cockney spivs that keep appearing. I'm sure Mitchell grew up watching Dik Van Dyke in Marry Poppins. He is a great prospect but like you said Johanesson has done it all the hard way and has been in alot of tough fights, Mitchell has not. It could be close but I can not see us needsing the judges score cards. The entire Mitchell clan were awful in the last fight. Vinny should have been koed but that will come soon enough unless he gets dramatically better.
Seen mitchell a few times but can't see what all the hype is about. He didn't look all that good against real low level cans. Johanssen has decent pedigree and I take him to stop Mitchell late. This reminds me of the Arthur-Gomez fight.
i knew someone from essex who also insisted he was a cockney...hammers supporter and all that. also did that weird nasal talking thing some of them do down there. i'm going to make the bold prediction of johanneson pulling off a shock stoppage within 5 rounds :yikes
