    Mitchell lost to a very good guy in Katsidis. Does that mean, automatically, that he's found his level?

    Why is him losing one fight so bad? Can he not learn from this?

    Mate, whatever you do, don't try and talk sense on here. Some of the tools won't have it.

    As Confuscious once said "If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake".

    So as long as Kev learns from this loss then there is nothing wrong. If he does an Audley (who never learns and continues to chat ****) then that is bad.

    Sometimes it's the way you lose.

    He looked clearly out of his depth and that's why people are saying he should fight for European next. IMO he fought the worst fighter he could of had at 135lb at world level. Even JMM would of been better fight for him IMO.

    He can come again, Tactically he fought poorly...World Level You Can't Afford to do That.

    IMHO losing one fight isn't the end of the world. I do think however that, in this case, Mitchell is a European/ fringe world class fighter.

    Because you are brutally exposed and shot.

    Straight away.

    losing a fight is nothing, it actually can benefit a fighter depending on their mindset.

    the real question is mitchell good enough to go to the elite level? in my opinion he's not.

    Losing a fight ain't all bad...:yep I think that Burns losing to Carl Johannsen was the best thing that happened to him...:yep

    I think that the Division that Kevin Mitchell wants to conquer is full to the brim with tough talent... I hope that he can come again, but I think that John Murray will have to much for him...:yep

    i think mitchell is too good for murray. murray is one fighter i think is overrated. if you put him in with katsidis, the same would of happened.

    Mitchell can come back!
    Look at Amir he's back and better than ever, some fights you just lose, it's good that Mitchell has lost because he'll realise he needs to be on his A-game everytime he faces someone who can punch back.
