After Johanesson chickened out of his almost certain KO loss to Kevin Mitchell. Kevin has to make do with a durable Venzuelan fighter who has had 78 fights 41-33-4 record. I hope that Mitchell can start fighting the best. I feel that he is ready now to make that step up, and at 23 he now has all of the experience at the lower levels to go on. Its a shame that Johanesson could not make the fight, as his name would have looked good on Mitchell's resume at this stage in his career. Prediction Mitchell win TKO 4.
and more good news setanta have been promoting torres v mitchell for the british title. i think the presenter might have a shock in a hour when a venuzuelan flag comes in
