    My grandmother would fancy her chances against Prescott, let's be real here, he's ****ing ****.

    Take that ''lightning in a bottle'' moment away and all you've got is a man who's blown away a few bums and been dominated by the two half decent fighters he's faced.

    Mitchell has been a part time boxer for the best part of four years, Murray has come up the long way and beaten a few decent fighters. He's gonna dominate a Mitchell who has one foot in retirement IMO.

    Murray's not stopping Mitchell.

    Mitchell got stopped by a deadly deadly left hook and it wasn't just one punch. Just look what that punch did to Marquez.

    Murray has no power anyway.

    No worries my good man, I will be rooting for Mitchell anyway, I have never liked Murray since he said he was going to 'break Burns in half' & then pulled out of the fight many moons ago! as for Haye & big Wlad, I got a feeling that its going to be quick, but I cant pick a winner. As for Burns & Cook? I can see why many are moaning as Cook has been inactive & was a bit slow & ponderous in his last fight with Al hemidi, but as we all know when its a good old scotland england fight? Fighters always raise their game, & I expect Cook to be dangerous. People here seem to think hes turned into a bad fighter overnight, but I think theres life in the old cookiemonster yet;)

    As for Chisora Fury, I will be cheering on the mad Fury, cos I just cant help but like the guy! That fight is going to be a good one, it has to be!:deal

    Murray can't adapt, he's one dimensional, he has no game plan (I don't care what people say, the guy does the same **** in every fight).

    Honestly, look at how Murray was having problems with that last fella he fought.

    Movement is going to kill Murray. Mitchell beats him long-range and short.

    i just cant believe people opinions towards kevin mitchell since his loss to katsidis. he was highly rated on these shores before that fight and rightly so. hes a very good european level fighter & one of my favourites domestically.

    in my opinion hes a better boxer than murray.

    cook will be in good shape he has been basically running a business in tenerfie for the past few years doin conditioning work with fighters and by all accounts he didnt expect fighters to do anythin he was nt prepared to do himself including the unglamourous road work up and down mount tiede ,also he doess nt lack heart he put up a great performance against luevano a few years back that whilst showin the vast difference in class between the two did show wat heart cook has i expect him to put up a galant but unsuccesful attempt at wrestling burns ( who is the most improved fighter in the uk imo) belt away from him

    I expect a hard fight from Nicky i really do but whatever he brings and i do hope its his best Burns will have all the answers and more.Burns is looking great in the gym and sparring Paul Appleby who imo is nthe 2 nd best SFW in the UK great sessions in the gym ( should really sell tickets its like a championship fight every spar ha ha).

    Mitchell is on a higher level to John Murray.

    Mitchell so long as he trains hard, and is focused, will easily win this one.

    Ring Rust is turd.

    Agreed. Murray is definitely overrated in my eyes, and if Mitchell is well prepared he should win regardless of his recent inactivity.

    But if ring rust is actually a real thing, then surely Murray should win? It's an excuse for poor preparation and not a very good one.

    Mitchell is not a better boxer. Trust me, Murray will outbox him. It will be pathetic to witness. Mitchell, much as I used to like him, can't control distance, he backs up in straight lines and he doesn't use enough lateral movement.

    He looked a million dollars against Prescott because his opponent didn't force him to revert to type. Styles make fights - Murray is underrated on here. He gets himself into range very efficiently, he uses that right hand beautifully to cover his left hook, and he steps around his opponents beautifully to open them up.

    This will be a close fight, but Murray will batter Mitchell down the stretch.
