    Is this a realistic match up, if mitchell beats Estrada?

    I don't know what route crolla is going for a title shot when he returns.

    Who wins this one? Are they on the same level?

    Mitchell for me, apart from his heroics I'm not a huge fan of Crolla

    A very good fight for both at this stage of there careers but Kevin will get looked after and get first shot of a world title assuming he wins next week in a very good fight

    Anthony Crolla will need to have a couple of fights when he gets back to feel comfortable that he has healed properly from the injuries sustained when tackling the burglars.

    The fight with Kevin wouldn't happen anyway till Kevin gets the shot at the World title (if he wins next week) and Eddie would be hoping to have them box with a World title or if he can get Crolla into a position then maybe 2 titles on the line!

    Fit and focused Mitchell stops Crolla everyday of the week. . . . How Mitchell was stopped by Burns though still baffles me!

    To be honest I think that Kevin trained 100% for the Ricky Burns fight but he had such little respect for Ricky's power that he thought he could just walk through what was coming back at him from Ricky.

    On the flip side of that night i think Kevin learned that he has to respect others more than he had in the past and Ricky decided after that fight that he had become a power puncher and didn't need to use his jab, speed, combinations as much as in previous fights where he looked very very good.

    I like both fighters and would like to see them both win world titles (Ricky again) but i fear it might be too late for both at World level.

    Ricky was simply better than Kevin. But to see how Kevin's concentration drained away from the second round was shocking. The strength of mind you need to be a champion... no matter all the talent, does he really have it?

    Crolla wins this, IMO.

    Kevin's movement is pretty terrible these days, IMO. He has power and some skills, but I feel that Crolla wins a SD.
