    Kev should go back down to 130 and fight Burns. He lacks the physicality to compete at 135 I reckon.

    Murray wins it in my opinion.

    Maybe not, but he is easily good enough to beat one dimensional Murray

    I know Mitchell is better than Gary Buckland, the last guy Murray fought, but you saw how much bigger and stronger Murray was than Buckland and I feel this could be the case again in the Mitchell fight if it ever came off, I feel Murray could overpower Mitchell.

    Murray is one tough so n so, I feel he could take Mitchell's best shots and come back with his own.

    I think Mitchell beats Murray easily.

    Losing to Katsidis is one thing, but a one-dimensional pressure fighter with average power in Murray is another.

    I'd say that Johanneson is at least Murray's equal in terms of power, especially on the inside..... there's no evidence at all to suggest Murray can take a punch, given the lack of punchers on his record.

    For all the **** Khan gets for not facing punchers, the three fighters giving him the most **** lately, Mitchell, Murray and Brook, have never faced anybody that can crack an egg.

    Murray has a bit of success early until Mitchell ups the ante and gets rid of him, after about 8 rounds.

    This would be a good fight IMO.

    I would also pick Mitchell to win, especially if it is his next fight as its really make or break for him

    Mitchell maybe needs an easier fight to get back into his rythmn, then he can go for Murray.

    I agree.

    He looked like a schoolboy against Katsidis.

    When did I say Kat was wank??? Read my quote again.
    I simply stated that he isnt great. Which means Great fighters like Casamoyor, Diaz, Marquez beat him everytime. He is a top fighter in a division of great fighters which is why he has always only on the cusp of winning a full lightweight World title.

    Mitchells shoulder roll is subpar. He's quite good technically but his shoulder roll gets found out on the top level.

    One thing I'm not certain about is Murrays punch resistance.

    Crolla wouldn't be a bad comeback fight for Mitchell.
