I'm not surprised. Mitchell is a superior boxer. Murray is one dimensional and has no boxing skill just a tough guy. Thank **** the Murray hype train is over.
Picked Mitchell before hand, but wasn't confident due to his layoff and history..... Great fight FOTY Candidate :good
Fair play to both fighters. They put it all on the line, which the show needed after the previous fights. Thought Mitchell was very classy in and out of the ring tonight. Liked his comments about Murray after the fight.:good
What a fight...props to Mitchell, he came back from a loss to TKO a highly regarded opponent in Murray
Perfect gameplan murrey tough lad answered a few questions about kev there bounced back well after the katsidis defeat well done
I think this also grants due respect to Katsidis in the flack he's been receiving lately. Not so much British forum , but definitely elsewhere . But he has only lost to the cream of the crop in HOF Juan Manuel marquez. Current p4p toughman guerrero etc So huge congratulations to KEVIN MITCHELL and side note congratulations to katsidis .
I had him winning five-two until round 8. I was impressed with his speed and in particular his uppercuts. I knew that they'd eventually do something to Murray. His defence was also quite good - he got hit with a few powerful straight rights but he was slipping a lot - there was one bit which was basically the same as a moment in Froch vs Dirrell. I picked him to win but I didn't think that it'd be a stoppage.
he needs katsidis rematch before world title. I fancy a fully prepared and motivated Mitchell to win that.
Great performance from MIichell. Great fight. Credit to Mitchell for taking the fight after so much time out!
