    Not like Murray at all. He throws as he walks in, he does use little side-steps to get angles, and his defence is clearly better.

    Mitchell has the tendency to drop his hands and try to side shuffle out of danger when getting punched in the face

    It's what cost him against Kats and he's not going to stop doing it.

    Agreed, but I just don't see it that way. Lennox Lewis lost to Hasim Rahman, I see the Mitchell-Katsidis fight as similar. Distracted fighter, poor preparation, loses badly, but not necessarily representative.

    Please don't everyone take the analogy too far... I am just saying that I am not judging Mitchell's chances at world level on the basis of the Katsidis fight.

    :deal Usually I think you overstate these things a little but I genuinely don't see this going more than 1 or 2 rounds if it were made. Mitchell doesn't have the speed or the power to keep Rios at bay for any amount of time and Rios has some serious power that will hurt Kev every time he lands. Maybe I overrate Rios too much but I would have him beating Marquez, if they were to meet after Pac fight, as well.

    He did not look or fight weight drained, anyway his style would not alter that much anyway.

    When you Twitter war a guy. it means HE knows you, grows to him wanting to knock your lights out, to his promoters, and to promotion companies knowing you and more importantly, being interested in you. smart move
