    Just confirmed by Mitchell himself on the Bunce hour. Looks like the Foster Jr. fight is off. Mitchell will box in an 8 round tune up in May and then fight Martinez.

    edit: vote ****ers! Poll added.

    I fancy Kevin to do it if his hands are good. Martinez has a bit of a shaky chin I've heard and against Mitchell that could be costly.

    I don't expect Mitchell to box as he says he'll do a bit more and to be honest I don't think he should, I think his chin is good enough to take Martinez punches.

    The only reason Cook got knocked out is because he has the punch resistance of a koala bear.

    I'm not doubting their silky skills, but if you catch them they don't get up. Trust me.

    Hippos have solid chins. Very big necks and legs

    Giraffes on the other hand...

    Bute-Berrio is a very good example of what a giraffe's neck would look like in the ring.

    Hippos are solid, they can absorb enormous punishment. Both to the body & head.
