Don't think it will be the first by the looks of things. I still can't find tickets for it.

I see Mitchell doing a number on him; would like to be wrong, though.

I think Mitchell is overrated. Granted, I haven't seen him much in the last year -- curse FW's attitude to youtube! -- but unless he's improved, I think he'll be in for a hard night's work against Johanesson.

Then again, Warren is superb at matching his prospects. He really brings them on beautifully, and perhaps he/his matchmaker sees something in Johanneson that I don't.

I dunno why, but I see to like Carl more than Kevin. Maybe it's because he seems more like "one of the lads".

I think Mitchell will school him though. Shame really.

Kevin is the new Alex Arthur in so many ways.

Have a look at how they have been guided and which way KM is heading.

He will be Euro champ in the next few years followed by a soft world title tilt.

Km will smash CJ, who looks shot to me. Kirakosian is a decent but limited Euro champ. Don'd forget what Gomez did to him in a real war.

I agree Mitchell might be over-rated, but still see him beating Carl. He's the better natural talent and much the fresher. Sure, Johanneson saw off Gomez, but he took an ageing beating vs Kirakosyan and I think him against Gomez was about seeing who was less shot. Even though Gomez looks to have hit the end of the road, he still had CJ looking sorry for himself early on. Mitchell will start fast as well, but won't fade after three rounds.

he had problems getting 'up' for his fight with kiro, if he has been on the pop then i doubt the fight will happen.

He's been "injured" and the fight's off, according to another thread.
