Nobody talking? No excitement not even across in Briton? I think Kevin Mitchell is hearing voices from strange men saying This content is protected
Saturday there are tons of great fights. I'm very interested in seeing this fight. Prescott was schooled his last time out on FNF against Miguel Vazquez. While Kevin Mitchell is moving up to Lightweight. It is a very interesting fight and I think it will be the most exciting fight out of all the great fights on saturday.
I think Prescott will beat Mitchell, im not sure of Frank Warrens full intentions of this fight. I personally think Prescott is over-rated, so maybe a Prescott rematch down the line for Kahn.
Fight fans in the UK are more interested in this than the main event. The fact is if he beats Prescott it will get more publicity than if he were to defeat JMM, Funeka or Guzman. It is a very clever move by Warren, i am not saying its a low risk fight cos it is not but the risk v reward is massive as Prescott is very beatable. The Khan he destroyed was arrogant and unproffesional, current Khan beats him all day everyday. Not saying Mitchell is in Khans class but if he boxes and avoids a tear up in first 3 i see him winning in 8.
I think if Prescott wins, Warren will big him up to be something hes not, luring the public in, then organise a rematch, which Khan will win gaining more public recognition which he lacks, there are many critics of Khan and alot of people really dont like Warren in the U.K, i think some people tune-in wanting Khan to get beat pissing Warren off in the process.
Prescott is not a great boxer. 95% of his KOs have come against bums in South America. Yeah Khan was KTFO, and that was Prescott's claim to fame, but based on his other performances most of us know that any decent boxer will be beat him and won't get tagged!
Mitchell is going to get battered. He has absolutely no defence and Prescott evidently has genuine power. Mitchell is going to take a tonne of bombs in this fight.
mitchell is one of my favourite domestic fighters & im looking forward to this fight more than the main event. did you see the size difference between the 2 after they weighed in though? that worried me a bit...
If Mitchell makes it through the 1st 4 rounds, I think he can win this. However, as Tommy V said.....Prescott's power + Mitchell's non-existent defense = Trouble for Mitchell. Mitchell will have to fight a different way to win this.
Yeah I noticed that too. Prescott's tall frame was dwarfing Mitchell when they stood next to each other. Let's not forget Prescott is a very big lightweight as it is, and with Mitchell moving up in weight, he'll be at a massive physical disadvantage. The weigh in also reminded me how confident Prescott likes to be. His attitude seemed exactly the same when he was face to face with Khan a year ago. He seemed to get under Mitchell's skin when he did the cut throat. I do however believe Mitchell is the better boxer by far, and I'll be looking for him to make Prescott re-live his last bout.
