    He has only fought 5 rds in 18 months and lost 3 of those come fight night. I ca not see how he can overcome this amount of ring rust as he fights maybe his strongest opponent John Murray he has ever fought.

    I think Murray will walk through him and take his heart away from him

    Ring rust is bollocks, as long as you prepare properly behind the scenes it doesn't matter how long it's been since you last beat an undermatched opponent.

    That is exactly what keeps going through my mind every time I think this one through. Mitchell is made for Murray.

    mitchells in the gym grafting hard and stayin sober at the momment if he continues the way hes goin he will box murrary head off just like he did prescott this aint goin to be no war tibbs wont let him be drawn into it
    for any of you who doubt he can box watch the prescott fight again , if mitchell can keep it together murrary is in a whole world of trouble judging by his last pathetic performance against a spainsh orange picker!

    Oh no, so what you are saying is Mitchell is gonna do a Groves & bore us all to sleep & pinch a decision in a grudge match where we are all expecting fireworks, or at least a sparkler to be lit?

    I dont think I could handle another damp squib of a grudge match in one year:|

    He can't overcome anything, he's just not that good.

    Murray is gonna dominate him.

    its the easiest way for tibbs to get mitchells career back on some knid of track and from the footage that tibbs has seen of murrary (including the last fight ) he deeems this the ideal game plan
    i also think we can expect another damp squid when haye fights drago next month although its not all bad in july we have chisora v fury (has to be explosive and burns v cook ( gotta feelin u might fancy burns for this onen!) i reckon this will be a good match up

    Not quite as pathetic as Mitchells last outing.

    u seem to be missin my point thats exactly why mitchell wont fight that come forward style this time as last time he was awful so obviously they are goin back to wat worked at this level(being abit generous to murrary sayin hes the same level as prescott)

    What worries me more about Mitchell isnt the inactivity but all the personal/legal problems he's had & his performance against Katsidis

    I do like Kevin as a boxer but far too much is read into the Prescott win, Bredis is not world class, he's a crude brawler who can bang

    Murray is a different prospect, he's bigger, stronger, has a better better chin & his style wont allow Kevin to do a Jorge Groves

    Murray by stoppage & it might be sooner rather than later
