Kevin Mitchell: Looking like a nearly man.

Warren sounds pissed off in this article, or are the Mitchell team just looking for excuses?

Thats not a "team" excuse, thats his manager and trainer saying the fighter isn't putting the work in. Big difference.

 

Grow up :-(

 

I had heard from a writer somewhere that they were worried about his preperation beforehand thinking it was not top class and him having problems making the weight. Looks to be true no excuses though he didnt get it done on the night

 

Gutted for Mitchell. It was a brave move to step up and take on this fight, I hope this isn't the end of him.

 

What are you trying to do to the poor lad?

 

Was at the fight tonight and have just watched the fight on TV. Quite simply Mitchell was not ready for World level.

Like everyone else i am saying this in hindsight, but Mitchell had 1 fight at domestic level and 1 fight at fringe world class.

The injury obviously caused problems in his development but he should of been fighting for a European title tonight and not for a World title for another year. Having tough fights at domestic and european level would have prepared him better and he would have known what to do when getting caught early.

Instead he was lost as soon as he got in trouble due to inexperience and fighting soft opponents.

I don't think anyone can doubt his potential or that he has the ability to win a world title. But he needs to build up to World level not jump the q because he is a big ticket seller and has a good promoter.

going on from here, I think Mitchell needs to go to the states. Not because Tibbs is not a great trainer, but to get a high level of sparring he will get which will also be a great experience.

as for the rest of the night.........got beaten up by a group of West Ham fans on the train. some guy asked me who i supported and I just said Spurs not thinking about it. started giving me **** which i just ignored. finally after 5 minutes he was getting on my nerves to much and i told him where to go, he was walking away and all of a sudden a load of his mates showed up and me and my friend got roughed up. nothing to bad but made the night even worse.

 

I agree man.

He definitely was in a bubble waiting to be popped.....

 

west ham fans are some of the worst in the country.

horrible club tbh. :roll:
