    Your clearly on the ******ed side if you think it's a mismatch, i think Birns wins by stoppage late on, body shots but a mismatch? very competitive fight.

    Billy just **** off with your bias it's sickening. Just call the fight how you see it and stop making out Kevin is an average fighter, stop spouting bull**** in every post you make pal.

    If it is such an easy fight for Burns, take it at Upton Park where it will make the most money. Don't worry about being robbed, because Ricky is apparently knocking Mitchell out with his new found hands of stone.

    Don't know with Mitchell hope Burns beats him but one fight he's good the next he's not from Prescott to Katsidis to Murray then lastnight .He's on and off his game I think .Even though Burns should beat him he still shouldn't take him lightly .I wouldn't say it's a total mismatch I think Mitchells probably above European level and just short of world level .Lastnights opponent though man should have been better than that if he wants a world title fight .Think he's maybe taking his training a bit lightly .

    By the way, I'm laying the gauntlet now. Mitchell stops him around the 9th

    :happy We all know your man love for Kev pal :lol:

    I think Burns stops Kev late, perfect contrast of styles though, both can box and fight, very intersting to see what tactics both men implement.

    Decent match. Mitchell will edge it on pts imo. Here are two fighters that will take advantage of the real talent in the division not being bothered about the division...
     
  10. Why isn't it a mismatch?

    What can Mitchell actually do with him?

    Burns is bigger, stronger, more skilled.... just a better operator all round. There isn't even the ''puncher's chance'' element.

    Agree with Billy.

    Bit bored of the if he turns up bollox and why is there all this talk of Upton Park...surely the fight should be in Scotland?

    Thoughts on the venue Billy?
