Kevin Mitchell

There's never been a better time for Mitchell to try and grab a title at SFW. Can;t fight Cook as they are stabelmates, but seriously, he and Soto would be a real war! With a bit more defence you'd give Mitchell a chance, but I fear Soto will break him down to late stoppage.

Linares is winnable for Mitchell. He can box really well but Mitchell has a great chin and power. On neutral ground this is a fair fight, I think Linares is pretty overrated. In Japan however, Mitchell gets robbed.

 

Mitchell went life and death with Carl Johanneson - was probably one punch away from being stopped on a couple of occasions.

Johanneson has twice been found out badly at Euro level. Mitch would be the same.

 

I don't rate Linares highly, he is not even close to the prospect Gamboa is.

Nevertheless he would destroy Mitchell, in all seriousness.

 

We go on about khan , but surely mitchell has shown grit and determination. He bangs has a chin and has fast hands oh and never been on the deck. also he is only 24. It annoys me a little when khan gets knocked out, has a comeback fight and is now a born again future champion. Mitchell imo will go on and be a champion, he will show his class and by the end of the year.

 

It seems a long time since the Johannsen fight
