I say your boy Mitchell gets KOd.
Nah, A precise prediction, Prescott TKO 5.
Mitchell is not a boxer, he is a fighter, and a proud man. He will go toe to toe, try to beat up Presxott, and get outpunched. That is my prediction.
Bet on it.

Prescott all day long for me but I'm not sure about a stoppage because Mitchell has a very good chin.

I could see Mitchell getting stopped on accumulation of shots or even a really bad cut. I don't see him getting blitzed like Khan did. Mitchell has to improve on all his shortcomings (Defence & Ring Intelligence) by next month if he wants to win this fight.

Prescott is pony, can't box for shit.
Kev can box he just don't want to most of the time

Mitchell will beat him he will outwork him, land more and generally beat him up. Prescott will lose widely on points and be marked up and hurt.

Prescott is a one trick banger IMO... Kev has more in his locker and will win, provided he doesn't go in there all guns blazing asking for one on the chin like Khan did...

Prescott reall isn't that good. Khan fucked up big time in the way he ran out of his corner looking for a fight. Whether Mitchell can beat him we shall see next week.
Anybody else think that ****** is looking for an easy way to answer that Khan/Prescott question ? If Mitchell does pull off the victory and faces Khan, Khan would outbox him all night and then he doesn't need to beat Prsecott does he. He beat the man who beat him.
Mitchell is being used although he'll get a good pay day from the Khan fight

kevin mitchell will give prescott a boxing lesson by using his brain and skill,the only way he gets beat if he gets invoved too many times.

Mitchell should win this, but if he still has not improved his defence it could get interesting. Mitchell takes flush shots a bit too often for my liking and against Prescott that could be a big factor.
Mitchell convincingly beating Prescott does not let Khan off the hook for me. He was so utterly destroyed by Prescott, he needs a rematch regardless of who wins this fight.
mitchell wins this...prescott is abig banger but mitchell has the chin, the skills and the engine to take him into deep water.....at this point, i think khan bats them both..the prescott destruction was the wake up call the kd needed, he wont fight like a drunk in a pub car park again...

:good typical ****** strategy. good idea though, mitchell - khan would be a big earner for him.

Prescott is a much better boxer than you might think, and he doesn't even need to be, mitchell gets fucked.

This is a stunt by ******.
If mitchell wins it means that Khan no longer has to have a rematch with Prescott.
It would also give a legitamate (in the eyes of casual fans) title defence against a guy who is currently fighting two weight divisions below him.
On the other hand if Prescott wins he'll fight Khan, but in the eyes of ****** it must be a risk worth taking as mitchell is not as well known.
I just see it as ****** attempting to protect his golden goose.
For the record I rate Mitchell, just dont likethe way hes being treated

I really really dont see this fight happening. I dont know, it just beyond me to think that a certain promotors fighter would take a guy who is an actual risk>
On a personal note.....i love it, this is what boxing is about.
I just dont see it happening.
Prescott will only fighter the big name british fighters once he is more shopworn.
Most people only have about 1 minute and about 8 shots of footage to judge Prescott, he's vastly overated for me. Mitchell points for me.

I have seen his last couple of fights and I was very disappointed with him - if Mitchell stays calm, doesn't get into a war then I can see him winning the fight.
Thing with Mitchell is, and people are referring to his gameplan here, but has he ever boxed a 'smart fight'? I mean, ever. Has he? I know he was a good amateur and he does display good boxing ability for short periods in a fight, but has he ever put it together on one night...?
The red mist seems to descend as soon as he's hit. He had a WAR with Johanesson, hurt him and finished him. He didn't outbox him so much. Against Walter Estrada he was eating the straight left like it was nothing and eventually got a peculiar stoppage to the body.
The kind of shots he takes are startling at this stage of his career. He takes punches in a similar way to John Duddy, he takes flush power shots right on the chin.

I see where you are coming from and its okay pleasing the fans and standing toe to toe up to a certain point but its quite evident that wouldn't be the way to go against Prescott. I don't think thats the way to go as Kevin fights in better class either. It's okay at times, if he picks his moments, but I think Kevin needs to find a better balance between using his skills and knowing when to stand and trade because he's been taking a few too many IMO. We know he has a good chin now, he needs to stop proving it!

i totally agree with that, kev even has an AM would take instructions from his trainer but mostly he would act on natural instinct, if he takes a good dig and doesnt go down (which has not happened to date) he will then go for a tear up, its just him, hopefully he matures to box "smart"

Certainly wasn't ringside.
The ref was right to stop it, I just mean it seemed like quite a strange shot that hurt Estrada, it didn't seem like a full blown body shot and it was more in the chest but he went over in a heap.

has any one ever been impressed with mitchell there hasnt been a time where i was taken back with any of his skills or abilities i saw him struggle with a russian journeyman early in his career back in 06 since then he's looked somewhere between shit and average
he was 1 shot away from being stopped by carl johenson who many thought was past his best, he was getting stunned by walter estrada for a couple of rounds before estrada was stopped prematurely to the clown who says he was at ringside how shit faced were u that night because if u had any sense of sight u'd know that stoppage was bullshit
as for the fight with presscot theres no fucking way u can teach a goood defence in a month or so to a fighter as wreckless as mitchell he's going to eat bombs on the 5th it'll be interesting to see how he responds to it

I've been impressed with Mitchell's chin and heart (he obviously loves boxing and enjoys a good scrap). He can obviously bang a bit too.
However, his defence has looked sloppy right the way through his career. We'll see against Prescott if Mitchell has what it takes to step up with the main fighters in the division.
Personally, i fear for him a bit against Prescott but i hope he proves me wrong.

wen i first saw prescott, i was one of a few that said that this is a tough fight for khan...
imo prescott brutally sparks kevin mitchell within 5 rounds. if not then he can do it in 6 7 8 9 10 11 or even the 12th

Anyone know if this is still on, just seems to have gone quiet for a decent fight, little on the ****** website as of yesterday, just the one article on Nov 7th saying it looked like the fight was on!
I know there are some mates of Kev's who read this can anyone confirm its still on and how does Mitchell look at present.
If his hands hold up and he fights smart (big if I know) I fancy Mitchell by 4 or 5 rounds.
Prescott can bang and they do come from strange angles and positions but Mitchell's chin is good (at the lower weight) He is by far the classier boxer having watched 2 full fights of Prescott (not including the Khan fight)
Any news guys?

Looking forward to this if it materialises.... Kev will have to box intelligently to stay away from the bombs. Prescott while very limited has that punchers chance as always, and probably a good chance at that.

Same. It's a shame because I was more interested in the Small vs Hall fight on the undercard of Khan vs Kotelnik as well!
i gotta go with kevin, he can box really well but for some reason gets into a tear up, which is great entertianment. he's defence is poor but can take a good dig. i'm pretty sure that kevin went over to train with roach can anyone shed any more light on that. kevin to box box box his way to a points victory occactionally standing and trading to add abit of excitment then back to box box box
