Who is Mitchell fighting?

[pne buz]

Has Kevin Mitchells opponent for the Pavlik undercard been named yet?
If not has anyone any idea as to who it will be?

[kurt2006]

Baz Carey or some mexican dude who is fed up with working at chuckie cheese.

[Lucky Punch]

Yes it will be some fighter hadly anyone heard off.

[faisal]

i heard its gairy st claire

[robpalmer135]

no chance it will be st claire.

[LB3000]

Yes it will be some fighter hadly anyone heard off. With only around a week to go and still no news on his opponent it looks like you will be right.

[robpalmer135]

anyone got a clue?

[9Ball]

I hope it is someone who will at least test him a bit. It won't do him any good fighting in America unless his opponent is credible.
Considering that it is on the undercard of a Pavlik fight I think it is a little strange that they haven't found/named his opponent yet?!
:deal

I can now announce Mitchell's opponent. He's outdone himself on his can of the month tour this time fellas...

[One Shot Wonder]

He was looking to find a an Ex-Champ.

I dont think hes going to get that expectation otherwise we would of heard about the opponent already.

It would have to be a pretty well worthy fighter with his WBO on the line.

Pluss, its well known that hes been giving alot of grief to Frank ****** to really up his profile in the U.S

It wouldnt suprise me if Kevin changes promotion if he doesent get his desired prospects.

[BigEars]

Ex-champs that could be got on a weeks notice:
Cruz Carbajal
Mauricio Martinez
Adonis Rivas
Ivan Hernandez
Danny Romero
Felix Machado
Eric Aiken
Freddie Norwood
Cesar Soto

****** would probably feel the likes of Aiken or Soto still are too much of a threat . That list doesn't matter anyway as I doubt we will be getting an ex champion but I'm just point to the fact that it'd be possible if ****** was that pushed .

[dwilson]

Someone with a record that looks kinda like this 5-25-3 (1).

[seconds out]

will he fight arthur next then?

[faisal]

what about manuel medina?

[BigEars]

what about manuel medina?
According to boxrec he has a fight with Malcolm Klassen lined up , which I'm guessing would be an IBF eliminator if true .

Considering the #1 spot is vacant , Medina is #2 and Klassen is #3 it seems that it's likely .


Medina would have been the perfect opponent for Mitchell but ****** would probably feel he is too dangerous .

It seems like Medina is never going to go away , he's been fighting at World level for about 18 years now !

[TFFP]

Still no news?

Damn I like Kevin, but this bullshit tests my patience. He's had..what..25 fights now? One single solitary credible opponent

Ok I Know you cut your amateur career short, but come on. The opponent stock room is running out of tomato cans :patsch

with an overly leaky defence the number of ex-champs would be seriously narrowed, medinas an old warrior but i could see him giving mitchell a boxing lesson.This is the same guy who defeated harrison not so long ago

[Tuffnutz]

Does it matter who he fight's?

He took a massive amount of damage against carl and his level was exposed to us.

I would'nt be suprised if that fight has taken something out of him tbh.

[robpalmer135]

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Not to bad actually, he can obviously punch, and be KO. will be an exciting fight.

[robpalmer135]

Kevin should get the IBF belt, he could beat there champ and all the top contenders rnaked. Then get a unification with Arthur at the 02, would be a huge match next year in the summer.

He would then pout himself into a postion to make serious cash against Valero, Gamboa and maybe even Pac or marquez if there still about. I mean i doubt ****** would let it happen but he did eventually put hatton in with tysuzu and calzaghe in with lacy.

[TFFP]

Could have been a lot lot worse, but the skeptic inside me says this guy is probably way past his best. Notable results are a stoppage losses to Harrison and Mosquera. He went 8 rounds with Mosquera, who recently took Valero 10. That was 2005 though...
