dont buy Murray not preparing tbh. He would have came out with the same gameplan anyway. Mitchell just bashed him up with them uppercuts, and took Murray's best shots. He bobbed and weaved well, was accurate with the jab moved well, and put on a great display on precise punching power. John had never been hurt before, and Mitchell busted him up pretty bad.
I had Murray to win this. I thought keV would have ring rust. But he blew away the cobwebs in this fight. I had it 38-38 going into round 5, but keV took over 100% after that. His uppercut was superb. If this is what keV can do with a good camp and his mind on the game then he could be going places. I was also surprised at his power. Also my old man suggested to me last night that there is a possibility that Mitchell is actually left handed fighting as an orthodox. His left hand was so powerful. There are a few lefties who fight orthodox though I think. Anyone know if there's any truth in this? Murray will bounce back from this, but quite simply he needs to learn how to close distance effectively and deal with a moving target, as he was coming at keV in straight lines which made kevs job easier. Cracking fight which more than made up for the two previous fights. WTF was cook doing anywhere near a ring?
What a classy performance by Mitchell, he was throwing his uppercut and left hooks with brilliant accuracy, he looked world class.
Picked Mitchell to win on points but didn't expect him to look as good as he did, fantastic performance.
I notice that all the people who have been slagging Kev off recently - saying that he is ****, finished etc, have all gone strangely quite today. Wankers.
I fancied Mitchell but wouldn't of bet on him due to inactivity. I cant see Murray coming back from this as he's been found out of his lack of adaption during a fight. only seemed to have one gameplan. dont think mitchell is ready for another world title shot just yet as the current champions are very good. maybe a fight with marco antonio barera would give more indication on how far he has come
i knew mitchell would win! i cant believe how many people wrote him off on this forum! bumped my vcash back up too
