Kevin Mitchell vs Carl Johanneson

Is this fight on? If so Johansson by KO, Mitchells easy to tag and Carl can be a monster puncher. Mitchells power is average at best

 

I'd fancy Johanneson aswell , neither fighter should be let near Arthur .

 

i reckon its an even fight, Johanneson fought tough european level opponants mitchell hasnt, however Johanneson got a poor chin as seen in his last fight mitchells defence is all over the place, so the fight could go either way

 

has mitchell's chin been tested? johanneson is probably the hardest puncher in the domestic division, but i think we should see where his head is after getting knocked all over the place by krakosyan

a psychologically sound johanneson destroys mitchell.

 

Didn't It come out that Johanesson didn't prepare very well for Burns and Kirakosyan?

Mitchell's punch resistance looks better even though he's mostly fought commonwealth level fighters.

 

With Johansson the aggressor I think Mitchell has the tools to tame him.

 

Carls chin isnt exactly granite.The kid can be stopped.Carl defintly has the edge in power and possibly class but this is a very interesting bout for both guys.Mitchell hasnt mixed with anyone even close to world class.Since his turned pro his been well protected and has done very little to advance himself on the world scene.Its defintly a good test for him, but iv got to lean towards Carl by stoppage.Either way this ends in KO.

 

i take mitchell by UD.

 

Mitchell wins this one early for me, dont think Johanneson has the skills to compete boxing wise and whilst having the power to trouble Mitchell not sure he will really get time as think its over early in favour of the Londoner.

Go further cannot see any reason why they don't go straight after Kirakosyan after this one if he still has the belt, Johanneson made him look like a monster, he is not that at all, watch his three round win over Bento he was getting tagged and not looking great before his power got him out of it. He is not a backward fighter and I think Mitchell can put him on the back foot enough to stop him around the middle rounds.

Won't find many who agree I am sure but hey its about opinions.

Easy to throw combinations and look great when no one is trying to hit you back as happened in Carl's fight.

Mitchell may not be everyone's cup of tea but I think he can rule europe personally and with him not being that old cannot see any reason why he does not get a decent world title shot at some stage.

 

I wouldn't be too confident about Mitchell ruling Europe , even if he could get the better of Johanneson and Kirakosyan you still have Sergei Gulyakevich who to me looks a very very good fighter .

Mitchell could only win a World title if he fought Fana/whoever beats Fana as the rest of the division is simply too talented for him .

 

That guy who beat Johansson is going to be a serious handful for Mitchell.

Talk about making Johansson look ordinary.
