    Not heard much from Kevin recently. I've followed his career almost by accident - I've seen about 6/7 of his fights live (including Johannesson) on undercards.

    Little bit like Carl Froch he has a loose defence but a solid chin and a good punch - also seems to be quite popular. The WBO route has been blocked off by his mate Nicky Cook - maybe half hoping he gets beat on saturday!

    Should Mitchell wait for the WBO title to open up, or look to the European belt as another way through to a world title?

    yeh Gamboa might look great but if Mitchell hit him he would be on his back. Different weight divisions to.

    Mitchell wont go near the Euro i dont think. I would favour him over the IBF champ

    No chance. Gamboa would kill him and all his brothers on the same night.
