Warren: "Mitchell can beat Katsidis"

And Katsidis was floored and hurt by Graham Earl - if Earl can hurt him, then I am pretty sure Mitchell can hurt him. It certainly isn't a gimme for Katsidis, thats for sure.

 

Frank Warren talks alot of sense.

 

Earl didn't technically floor Katsidis; his gloves didn't touch the canvas and he sort of went into a squat and his arse was off the ground. **** knows why Vann started counting. It's not like Katsidis was hurt badly either as he went on to dominate the few rounds left. The times Katsidis has been floored have been due to his style and not a bad chin that is there to exploit. As I said, Katsidis is world-class and Mitchell's win against Prescott pales in comparison- if Mitchell wins then fair play to him as it's a huge scalp, but I don't see how anyone other than Katsidis can be favourite to win.

 

He was hurt by that punch that put him into a 'squat' as you say - he went flying across to the other side of the ring - and his arse looked like it hit the canvass to me :yep

And I never said Katsidis wasn't favourite, I agree with you, but Mitchell shouldn't be counted out either.

 

Billy will be laughing with me when Mitchell smokes the boots off Katsidis...

 

mitchell will outbox him.

easy. :yep

 

you get them told No Mas lol:good

 

Mitchell aint smoking the boots off anyone on the world stage. People are getting well too excited about the Prescott win. Prescott was/is a gunslinger with next to no skill. Khan was so very foolish fighting the way he did in that fight. I'd even pick Murray to tear Prescott apart.

Katsidis would punish and I mean PUNISH Mitchell. His defence is absolutely woeful. I can't believe people have forgot that all because he managed to avoid Prescotts shots (which were being pulled from Prescotts boots BTW).

Katisids is a very classy operator, Mitchell was having trouble recently with Super Feathers from the arse end of nowhere. He steps up at Lightweight he's getting pummelled!

 

It is a big ask for Mitchell but I have rolled the dice and think that tactically he will do the business... The nearest he came to getting beat was by Johannsen, his corner was a whisker from pulling him out...:yep

He learnt so much that night and I feel he will beat Katsidis who will be drawn onto his shots to the head and he will nail the body as the opportunity comes... He will "Cement the wee barstat...!"...

Whilst Katsidis boots are smouldering Fergie will be blowin Joe for 30 days...:deal

 

Will never ever happen mate :good

 

Smokin Joe will take on a new meaning...

 

Thats bollocks mate, Katsidis was hurt badly when Earl caught him with that shot, and adding to that Earl actully won the round before he was pulled out, not saying he would of won he deffo wouldnt have. But Kats was on ***** street when Earl caught him.

 

Jeezuz... I admit to being disproportionately overkill on my support for Haye (and he's def gonna prove what I've been saying for a decade, if he hasn't already), Froch, Khan and Gavin... but I ain't on Mitchell.

But he is world class and Katsidis is very, very beatable. Mitchell will stop him. Jeezuz, we have people on here claiming the potential world class of very average (ie European level for the sake of this pointm that's obviosuly better than average) fighters like Kell Brook, Ricky Burns and Nathan Cleverly (though he's probably better than the previous duo) - Mitchell is LEAGUES above these guys, regardless of what you think of the of the Prescott win.

We had people on here claiming that Scott Harrison was a helluvalot more than he was (respect to him for making so much of limited talent, not meant as back-handed as it sounds). Mitchell is a top, top boxer.

I honestly can't see how Katsidis beats him, I really can't.

 

By doing what Johanneson came very close to doing?
