Linares should win he has the better all round skills and just seems the better all round fighter, however, he is prone to ****ing up when seemingly in control and despite him having a great offence he is not the hardest fighter to catch clean even when he is on top in fights so Mitchell would never be out of the fight until the final seconds. Linares ko 8 for me but would love to be wrong.
i'm struggling to call this, think a fully focused Mitchell will win on points, especially with matchroom promoting it. bookies have it even between the 2, so all those backing limares via KO should get some decent odds.
Think it is likely to be an early KO either way but I am pretty confident Mitchell can pull this off.
I dont really think that someone who was blasted early by both Katsidis and Burns stands a significant chance against Linares, but then again Linares lost to Salgado and Thompson, who are pretty much in the same level as Mitchell, making this a hard to predict fight. anything could happen.
This mitchell is a different fighter compared to the one who lost to burns and katsidis. He's worked hard and is fully focused, both men will be in trouble during the fight touching down at some point but mitchell will get his hand raised
Mitchell all day long different person now ain't parting every weekend chasing women since joining matchroom lets see on the 30th what happens
Mitchell is a lot more focused now, and I always loved him as a fighter...I remember seeing the absolute iron chin on him and great workrate before he lost focused and messed up. I think Mitchell has a chance in this one, someone is going to get knocked the fu-ck out inside the first 6 rounds. I think Mitchell can do it- and I think he will do it. Mitchell KO under 6 rounds for me on this one.
