****Ricky Burns vs Kevin Mitchell: Build Up Thread****

joeys shortened a good few careers w3ith his style...

 

What JoeG style? walk forward and get smacked in the head over and over again.

 

ive read that some in the game think mitchell is tougher than burns?!?....BULL**** BIG TIME!.....mitchell has the power advantage and is more explosive and agressive but agression does not indicate toughness, burns is the stronger and tougher of the two imo. burns has proved his chin is world class and mitchells power hasnt been proven past euro level plus he got ko'd by the first proven world class puncher he faught. a tko could be on the cards late in this fight because ricky is bigger, physically stronger, naturally fitter and tougher, he could wear down the weaker mitchell with his work rate, accurate punching, strengh and fitness and stop him late. imo burns will jab his face off, not let him get his power shots off, cleverly out work him and slow him down via the body maybe resulting in a late tko but im still going for a wide ud by burns. lets not buy into this unprepared bull**** because even tho mitchell had problems mentally against kats he was fight fight physically and he was bullied like a little boy. yes burns doesnt have the power or agressive style of kats but strengh wise he matched katsidis. ive said it before and i'll say it again if there's a stoppage it will be mitchell getting stopped not burns even tho mitchell hits harder! ko's/tko's aint all about who hits the hardest folks! imo burn will look even better and stronger and totally dominate mitchell in the later rounds! i really like mitchell as a boxer and a fighter but styles make fights folks!

 

Pretty much, John Murrey has it down to a tee.

 

Lets hope he don't **** up Burns name like he did Barkers, I have this image of Billy Nelson running up and flattening him.

 

Why is the poll already closed with still 10 days to go? Pity.

I'm going with Mitchell on points or late tko.

 

Money is on Kevin by TKO . Ricky is a class act just I see Kevin penetrating burns in a way which Katsidis couldn't. Kevin will need to be in the shape of his life fitness wise, if not he could get worn down, although I don't see this happening. It's the first fight where Kevin won't be hunted down so he will have time to pick his shots & take Burns apart. I'm going to call it but you would be mad not betting on TKO.

 

and your not biased are you

 

Very biased, but that's how I see it

 

problem is Mitchell hasn't lived the life of a boxer, Burns does and that is going to be a telling factor, not to mention Burns has one of the best jabs at world level.

 

come on Ricky boy

 

Surely Brian Lawrence doesn't actually believe Burns and Murray have the same styles? ****ing hell, that's general forum level knowledge from a professional trainer. Scary stuff.

 

Is scott harrison on the undercard?

 

Kev does the business...He slips burns Jab...counters him and hurts him to his Body...Mitchell can have a war when he wants but he won't...mark my words...the word is he's looking ELECTRIC in the TKO Gym....he'll set traps work the body and hurt him with that trademark Left Hook. TKO 10 Mitchell win
