The scandal of Kevin Mitchell continues...

This guy is being fed opponents with no chance of winning, and his opponent on Thursday is no exception:

its not all bad, there`s a draw in there

adamiw · Post by **adamiw** » 11 May 2004, 14:54

thats a joke. when the BBBC going to do something? He's beating them up.

I know Warren is just showcasing him at the moment, and he is very young, there is no rush. But it would benefit him more to be tested a little.
He can afford to take liberties agaimnst this calibre, and bad habits are inevitable to appear. It may be too late to erase them by the time he steps up against good opposition

With this guys age he's gonna be 60-0 by the time he steps it up. Thats IF he's any good and thats a bit IF. He's way over-rated and overhyped I think.

I give up!

What is the point? A punchbag will put up more resistance

That first guy Mitchell beat. Man, when he threw that little man to the canvas I so badly wanted him to get back up and knock that cocky bastard out.

Are there no Brits of a reasonable level for him to fight?
What he needs is someone durable who actually might hit him back. I know he's just a kid, but come on, what exactly is he going to learn by knocking guys out in the first two rounds?

Invincibility.

The way he jumps up on to the ropes to celebrate his wins, followed by the appearance of his mother (who Paul Cook is shagging) swanning to the ringside to give him a customary peck, is quite nauseating considering who he's beating.

Imagine when he wins the WBU title

Once he's knocked them out he should hang his head, and shuffle back to the dressing room looking at his feet.

What's he going to do when one of the guys hits him back. The look on his face will be worthy of Real_Deal's camera.

Yes i think they could of found a better opponent, maybe peter buckely 8)

Or, worse, Ricky Hatton dropping to his knees after beating 36-year-old has-been Tony Pep.

Mitchell will be the next Hatton IMO Making money off a spurious title with no real intentions of upping the class level, however i doubt he will have the fan base that Hatton has.

Looks like Mitchell has a future opponent, although i don't know whether it is Paul Cook or bennie

I can live with Mitchell knocking over 10 road sweepers, he's just a baby. Warren clearly has big big plans for him, I think he's doing the right thing building up a following and getting the kid used to the spotlight.

I have no problems whatsoever with the Mitchell situation.

i am not keen on the way Frank is doing things...
if they feel he is too young to fight anyone with a pulse they shouldnt have made him turn over...
he was beating better kids two years ago

exactly he was fighting better in the vest and headguard. He'd have learned more staying there for another two years instead of beating up no hopers who haven't even got a 1% chance of winning. 90/10 in favour is bad enough but fans whp pay good money deserve some kind of fight
