    I cant see frank giving the lad another chance, the only thing left out their for him is a murray rematch if murray wants it, or maybe he may lure ree's into a clash

    he'd smash up crolla, i'm not sure if ghallager would want to put either murray or crolla in their with mitchell, too much to loose he could end up ruining both of them.

    He's done ok, really. He could easily make good money at Euro-level, invest it wisely and have a nice life off the profits.

    The major problem is how will Kevin get bigger fights. He has three clear problems:

    1 - he's lost both times he's faced anyone above Euro-level.
    2 - he's not allowed to fight in the US, so can't go chasing a bout like Macklin did.
    3 - he's not big enough over here to attract a name or a titlist outside of a mandatory.

    I just want to point out one thing: he hasn't improved at all since losing to Katsidis. The Murray win flattered to deceive, since Kevin was still on the ropes, taking a beating until he found the punches to put his opponent down.

    He needs to really rework his whole offensive/defensive game. Work on outsmarting his opponent and setting traps. Alas, he's a bit dim in the ring.

    frank should give him harrison.

    mitchell gets an easy win and harrison disappears. everyone's a winner

    I honestly thinks he needs to be more active which he isnt at the moment. He needs to break away from ****** and move to a rival promotions and get more active. He said so himself.

    Rematch with John Murray would be excellent.

    Whats worrying about Mitchell is he doesn't seem all that mentally strong, two bad stoppage losses, this could be the end of him.

    He probably shouldn't be turning so many fights down then.

    He needs Rees, Murray or Harrison imo

    he needs to put himself back in contention it is simple

    I think he doenst either need or want it.

    There definately looks to be demons going through his mind.

    I think he retires.
