Who should Kevin Mitchell fight next ?

[jigsawigsaw]

Arthur, Limmond have turned down the opportunity
Scott Harrison is a possibillity depending on board giving license back.

[gallardo]

What about John Murray?

I know some people might say it's a step-back but i think it would be a good fight, and Murray is arguably better than Limond who they originally offered the fight to.

[hit me HARDER]

Until he mans up & squares off against Phil or Grant, he'll always be in their shadow.

[robpalmer135]

someone in the WBO top 10

[achillesthegreat]

all these domestic guys should be behind him now that he's been in a world title eliminator. however there isn't much time until the next card.

why does ****** always do deals so late and often the fights fall through!

mitchell should face someone in the top 10 or a top brit.

[lusop]

A good top 10 fighter , murray v mitchell would b an absolute war, great fight in the making.... kevs up in feb v TBA then hopefully world title shot v katsidis in spring....... feel its gonna b a big 2010 for Mighty Mitchell....

[victorhugo4222]

I think murray beats mitchell

[brown bomber]

Murray-Mitchell is a must, instead of Harrison and Arhur, who are clearly past their best- why not go against the typical ****** route and take on another unbeaten prospect in their prime. Now that would be intriguing and would gain you a lot of fans.

[achillesthegreat]

murray vs mitchell is a great fight but i'd be shocked if ****** made it.

[Darni187]

Murray, that would be a great fight.

[jigsawigsaw]

imo kevin wouldnt have a problem facing murray, but dont think this will happen by feb, also he will be looking to face katsidis in the spring time.

[brown bomber]

imo kevin wouldnt have a problem facing murray, but dont think this will happen by feb, also he will be looking to face katsidis in the spring time.I think Murray would beat him. But I'd be happy if either won.

[lusop]

would b an absolute bruising encounter,, both fighters would need plenty of healing time on this one, thats why probably cant see this happening in near future, not if mitchell going for a world title shot in the spring..

[jigsawigsaw]

murray vs mitchell will happen but not for some time imo. both fighters look to be going down different routes, murray european and mitchell wbo

[Beeston Brawler]

Hennessy won't put Murray in with Mitchell.

Until John leaves - which he should have done ages ago - he will be fighting guys that aren't much good or coming off a loss.

If I were Mitchell though, I wouldn't bother with any more domestic fights..... I know he is young and all, but what is the point?

The last thing you want after a career best performance is more stagnation, he's had enough of that already.

[Boro chris]

Katsidis would be a cool fight!

[brown bomber]

The last thing you want after a career best performance is more stagnation, he's had enough of that already.:good

[jigsawigsaw]

I think Frank ****** intends to keep K.M active.

[Grievesy]

I think he should move up to world level now. No point hanging around at domestic level when he's past it. Although being honest, I wouldn't be disappointed if a fight with John Murray came up.

[faisal]

berrara,casamayor,david diaz or juan diaz(all 4 are on the slide but i reckon berrara wouldnt fancy getting jonbbed in a british ring again) beating casa could really put him up there

[lusop]

casa, good call faisal.....

[LP_1985]

wud like to see him have 1 fight before katsidis. john murrey wud be ideal imo

[BoroBoxing1]

John Murray would beat Kevin Mitchell.

[BazRandall]

id hate to see Murray - Mitchell not for the spectacule but for the respective careers the loser would probably never go on to get a world title shot and that would be a massive injustice to both fighters,, i like the idea of mitchell fighting a top ten fighter the katsidis,, any pointless warm up fight would derail motivation fighters like mitchell need a challenge to bring out the best ,, and murray needs to escape the domestic scene before again demotivation sees him lose

[cupid]

Murray

[lolb]

From a spectators point of view Mitchel vs Murray would be great. I just feel the respective promoters will not allow it to happen.

Katsidis sounds like it could happen next summer for the interim title. As the proposed match with Marquez has been put off as WBO have made him 'super champion' and given him an extention before he has to face his mandatory.

I would have thought the next opponent will be someone pretty ordinary who Mitchel can look sensational against on TV. To show the other side to his game as opposed to the smart way he fought against Prescott. To build on the coverage he gained from that fight and build toward world title shot with Katsidis.

[Mazallan]

Mitchell vs Murray would be great. Both dangerous and mighty prospects who need to push on with their careers if they intend to be world champions. At this stage of both mens career they could do with a huge domestic battle to gain public interest and to put them in the title frame. The winner could get in a position for an eliminator.

I think the other domestic opponents named are really a step back for both now and the better names on the list are a step too far.

[jigsawigsaw]

come on lads get voting

[kosaros]

Who he should fight is Murray IMO.

However, due to the fighters that have been approached (domestic operators - Limond and Arthur) I think that it will be Lee McAllister.

[telboy66]

Katsidis is the right fight for Kevin it will put him firmly in line for a title shot.
fighting Murray at this time is a stand still fight for both boxers & will not advance either let both make their own way & should they meet later make it if one or both have world titles

[rooq]

i voted katsidis, but not sure if that should the the next fight or if he should go against another decent pressure fighter type first...

[abzmanc]

Funny how Mitchell is now 'past the domestic' scene, yet people were still banging on about Khan having to prove himself at a domestic level.. I think Kev has a good few options now, Id like to see him against Murray.. but doubtful that would materialise.... some good fights to be made either way.

[Top Dog]

Arthur, Limmond have turned down the opportunity
Scott Harrison is a possibillity depending on board giving license back.


Eh, Limmond was offered pennies to fight him, Frank just giving it the big "we offered him the fight and he said no" shite. Give him decent money and Limond will spank Mitchell. But Frank doesnt really want the fight, does he???

[lusop]

not a chance..... if thats the case take the shit money, spank mitchell ( haha), then big money fights after !!!! Think Limmond knows he wouldnt win...

[Top Dog]

Utter pish. Limond knows it will be a hard fight, and why should he take shite money for a hard fight. Give him the money and let the fight take place. If Frank was so confident,he would give Limond the money and get a good name on Mitchells record. You could offer Pacman a tenner to fight him, he would turn it down, does that make Pacman a bottler?

in sport you get chances some people take them some people dont. murray turned down the fight with prescott, mitchell accepted the challenge and won convincingly. mitchell took a chance willy limmond declined, if you believe in your ability you know that this sort of opportunity will lead to bigger rewards.

[billy nelson]

what your forgetting mate is kevin mitchell was supposed to be fighting burns at SFW and it was he who couldnt make the weight not burns,the point im making is kevin had been training for weeks for burns when he got word of the brescott fight,unlike willie limond who got 3 weeks hardly fair is it,kevin boxed a clever fight in newcastle against an big punching but ordinary fighter who was one dimentional.burns would have been a totally nightmare had they boxed.

yeah but i'm sure burns would happily step up in weight right? they should make the burns vs mitchell fight for feb.

[leforge]

Burns is on verge of world title chance why move up!

[achillesthegreat]

Burns is on verge of world title chance why move up!

I forgot about that bogus title shot. Burns is fearless when it comes to domestic opponents and it might be a good payday. He'd certainly get good publicity from it.

[Top Dog]

Burns would tie Mitchell inside out, easily. And why would Burns want to move up to fight Mitchell, it wasnt Ricky who said the weight was a problem, or did he just want to avoid Burns cause he knows he was getting pumped.:yep

[lusop]

he was outgrowing his weight besides he won the british title , why struggle to boil down when as we all know its better to move up a weight, prob looked at it burns, or prestcott knowing its a good scalp... bring on katsides.....

[jigsawigsaw]

mitchell imo is on another level to ricky burns,no dissrespect. nobody wanted to fight prescott one dimensional or not and mitchell took the fight. if burns, limond or arthur wanted to make some noise then take the fight on feb 13th. the truth is limond and arthur dont really fancy it, burns has title aspirations but I think he was lucky that mitchell moved up to 135lbs.

[lusop]

great shout jigsawigsaw... 100% correct

Mitchell boxed well against Prescott, no question, but Prescott was totally one dimensional, made the guy look better than he was. Limond and Burns would beat him, no question. He moved up to avoid Burns

Billy, whats happening with Burns and his title shot, is it a defo?? Met him in Torra the other week buying himself some nice PINK Cleto Reyes:D Some character the wee man:yep

[lusop]

why he turn it down then?? as previously said take this fight then bigger better things if he thinks he can win it, money seems like a good excuse tho.....

thats what im saying, apparently got offered a shit purse but come on sometimes u've got 2 take the gamble

[Top Dog]

thats what im saying, apparently got offered a shit purse but come on sometimes u've got 2 take the gamble

Maybe if you have been in training, not if you aint been doin much, I'm sure Limond would take the fight if the terms were good, no question. Billy Nelson get your arse back in here

[wraps]

Eh, Limmond was offered pennies to fight him, Frank just giving it the big "we offered him the fight and he said no" shite. Give him decent money and Limond will spank Mitchell. But Frank doesnt really want the fight, does he???It was an issue about money but kevin is prepared to take the fight for the same money limond was offered, he took the fight with prescott and the purse wasnt great, he done it to further his career, yes prescott is a one dimensional fighter but a dangerous one, how about limond vs prescott would he take that one ??? yes limond is a good boxer but kev will beat him

[billy nelson]

limond would beat brescott easily imo,willies already explained why the fights not on with mitchell,if hed been offered what he thinks is reasonable the fight would be on, end of.

[jigsawigsaw]

well if your not prepared to take a chance you aint going to reap the rewards. burns is lucky imo because kevin mitchell would stop him. thats not saying that I dont rate ricky burns because I do, and I think he has a good chance against roman martinez. like wraps said mitchell was prepared to take the same money as limond so I truely believe limond doesnt fancy it. Alex Arthur is another that doesnt fancy it, I read his comments about how he was annoyed with frank ****** for putting him on a 6pm, and that he is a former world champion, this is utter garbage, mitchell fought in manchester in july and was one of the first on the bill. point is you dont see mitchell moaning.

he avoided burns, now that is funny, why would kevin mitchell move from 130lbs to 135lbs, to avoid a fighter ricky burns with the record of won 27 (7ko) lost 2 to fight bredis prescott won 21 (18ko) lost 1.

Simple, cause he knew Prescott was one dimensional, and that Burns would turn him inside out and make him look a fool

[El Cepillo]

casa, good call faisal.....

Casamayor weighed in at 146 in his last fight. Unless Mitchell fancies moving up in weight and fighting a dangerous crafty, old, southpaw veteran (who most think is shot) for little money and zero credit, I don't think that fight makes a lot of sense really.
