Warren: "Mitchell can beat Katsidis"

I don't think Katsidis is all wrong for him stylistically, he gives you a lot of opportunities. He's going to be tough to outbox because he's so relentless, Mitchell would have to show us more power than in the Prescott fight, hit and run amateur style boxing wouldn't get the job done. So it really depends on whether Mitchell's power holds up at that level, if it can he has a shot to win by knockout.

 

I still think that Mitchell needs two fights before mving into championship class and guys like Katsidis but with how slow the early part of his career went I can not blame him for wanting to get a move on now he is fighting well.

 

Yeah agreed, I also wouldn't put him in that company yet. Prescott was a step in the right direction, but in its proper context. We know Prescott was beatable by any kind of decent boxer, he proved that in his loss prior to Mitchell.

But Mitchell's next fight against Mendoza is a waste of time. He lost to a guy with a 11-8-2 record by KO recently :-(

Good fights for Mitchell would be Santa Cruz, Agnes Adjaho, Ameth Diaz, even David Diaz. Somebody in that category.

 

I just read that as "Warren Mitchell can beat Katsidis"....maybe in the 60's but now that he's nearly 85 it might be a bit of a stretch for him.

Seriously, I don't know how this fight would pan out, but one thing is for certain, there is a fairly high liklihood that it would be a bit of a tear-up

 

I look at it like this. Kevin did brilliant against Prescott but showed he's still adapting and had to box to his best ablity that night to win and steer clear of a b level banger. Katsidis presents a lot more. Ok he's not blessed with great ability but he's crude,strong,brave,fit and learning and improving himself.

Kevin boxed a similar styled fighter in Johansson although Katsidis is lower stanced and has better boxing brain,He boxed his ears off for a good 5 rounds before getting embroiled in a war. Kevin needs a few more fights to learn and grow into weight before entering ring with Katisidis.

It's ok saying he can beat him but it's what the effect will be fighting him. There's no way at this time Kevin could outbox Micheal for 12 rounds without being in trench warfare with him.

 

This is decent top spin from the promoter but a fight with Katsidis is a very tricky assignment indeed...:yep

If this fight is made and Mitchell comes 2nd it leaves him in a difficult place as I think that it would be a tough road back for him... If he was to win, it would lead to an interesting thread on here...:yep

Man the sandbags and the blood bin...this will be a tear up no doubt about it... Can't see this going to the final bell...:think

Hope he wins but it's a mountain to climb...:yep

 

It would be a great fight and a very tough night for Mitchell. But he could stop him. Earl doesn't bang any harder than Mitchell and he nearly had Katsidis out.
But I don't think Mitchells power is anything like as good as his record suggests, but on the flip side his boxing ability is much better than many of his fights suggest.

At the end of the day he should be stepping into this class now. He has a lot of fights under his belt and needs to step up to the higher level.

In his prime he would have had a shot

 

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO









































Oh yeah.......... And NO !

 

i think kasitas's style would be perfect for kevin mitchell,he'd walk onto straight shots then kevin would hurt him with body shots,kasitas lacks movement straight up kevins street imo.good luck if it happens kevin.

 

i dont belive it
