    Mitchell shouldve took a knee during Kat's storm. Might not have stopped him losing but he'd have had a better chance.

    I doubt it would stop him losing, hopefully this loss is a blessing in disguise.

    Only would have delayed the inevitable. Mitchell nowhere near good enough.

    Boom. Mitchell's a gusty fighter he'll be back. Dam shame Warren conned all those West Ham muppets into watching their local boy get KO'ed. :D

    No really he should have done all he could to surivive the round then regrouped i think he did show a bit of inexperience at the top level there

    or the ref should have given him a standing count. Both times he was hurt he fell onto the ropes, he was on his feet but was knocked out for all intents.

    I actually predicted Mitchell would win on points, but it soon became clear Kevin was out of his depth - I must have bought into the hype a bit myself.

    it wouldn't have mattered, even the rounds he was winning he was under big pressure on the brink of taking a heavy shot.

    Standing 8 count? This isn't Germany. Standing 8 count has no place in a pro ring.

    Why do people keep talking about standing counts? There are no standing counts under the unified rules!

    Man I hope this is a blessing in disguise just how it was for Khan. I'm absoloutely shocked the way Mitchell fought but Katsidis is one amazing ****er and I'm a new fan of his.

    Hope this doesn't play out for Khan (Even if Paulie is a light hitter)

    Big difference between fighting guys like Johanssen and world class bangers like Katsidis. Anyway its still a good fight for Mitchell. I mean how long exactly was he going to go on fighting cans? Dudes been a pro for a minute now. Should have stepped up years ago.
