    What's the population of England versus Scotland Billy?

    You're a tiny country to the north of the only country that matters in the United Kingdom.

    Get over it.

    Dude is done, Mentally is weak. Has double the ability of Ricky Burns but difference is Burns works his ass off 110%, lives the life and is mentally strong. Beats talent all day long.

    I agree Mitchell has got a lot of talent, but has pretty much p*ssed it up the wall

    He may have talent but he struggled on Sat night, has very little head movement (still) was getting hit very easily from a relative novice and gets sparked out as soon as he moves up again.

    It was a decent enough performance.

    I agree he got hit too much, but then the guy he was fighting actually had a pretty good style.

    Fight should really have been waved of after the Knockdown as he was in no position to continue at the time and you can't be saved by the bell.

    He looked classy in spells but also rusty in others. was clearly looking to get the rounds in as there were a few times where you felt he could have killed it off.

    The guy was tough and certainly earned his money.

    With a decent trainer and some confidence building I feel he could be more than an 'opponent'.

    As for Mitchell would love to see him against Crolla.

    Come on wee man your full of under achievers,FFS you still go on 50 years later about the world cup.
    It's that tiny country that produces the main source of income for this country and your nation benefits from it,kindly remember that.

    Don't believe everything that Salmond says Billy.

    Scotland benefits from many economic tie ups that with out the uk it would not get.

    And then there is the small matter of defence.

    And as far as mentioning the world cup probably not a great idea mentioning it when just qualifying seems a near Olympic effort for wee Scotland :)

    FFS thought this was a boxing forum not a discussion on England Vs Scotland divide, back to the topic at hand, Kevin is a european level fighter simple as, he was destroyed in both of his world title fights, neither fight was even close, Burns beats him all day long saying Kevin just wasnt prepared ect is an excuse Burns was and is in a different league to Mitchell

    I think Mitchell is a good solid pro, I think he is just below world level, he did a great number on Prescott who has had plenty of good fights and a few scalps. Burns isn't much better Billy don't kid yourself mate he got totally out boxed for the majority of his last fight and there are a few names out there that will beat him ,Terrance Crawford will do a number on him after seeing what a technician like Gonzales did to him..
    In all fairness Billy would you give Gonzales a rematch as he was winning by a country mile before it was stopped? I think he deserves it..

    My family has a military background and my homework is done.
    I never questioned Scotlands quality of soldier, however who pays them and who trains them, who provides their equipment?

    And just about everybody in England pissed there pants when Hendry fell over as Gasgoine danced around him and scored a wonder goal!!!
