    Murray wins by late stoppage, he is too big at 135 for Mitchell.

    Yeah I have a sneaky feeling Murray will win. Mitchell is more of a fighter than he is a boxer imo, and cant Box well enough from the outside to keep Murray out imo, and he cant fight inside as well as Murray can.

    Gonna be hard for Mitchell to disengage Murray, as he might be too small to get his respect, and his ring generalship/defense, is not good enough to not to get dragged into exchanges.

    There were times when Johannson exploited his leaky defense, questionable ring generalship when he came foward, and Murray will by applying more pressure than that, and can probably take a better shot than Johannson to.

    I think the issue of weight is being greatly overlooked here. Mitchell is not a lightweight as far as I'm concerned and he is fighting a very good, strong lightweight that puts on constant pressure. No matter how good Mitchell's boxing can be at times he doesn't have the ability to resist a war for an entire 12 rounds and once its in close quarters Murray will dominate and stop him. I think it could even be a mid round stoppage too.
