From FW.tv

Kevin Mitchell will box in an eight rounder for the first time on Friday night at the Royal Highland Showground against tough French import Mounir Guebbas.

Guebbas, 26, has a 3-1-1 record and has never been stopped, losing on points over six to Anthony Mezaache in his only pro defeat.

Mitchell, 19, is currently 9-0 and has won eight of his fights by KO.

I have no problems with Kevin Mitchell (although he should have got DQ'd in his last fight). However, I do think he recieves to much coverage and should be allowed to develop without the pressures of TV.

However, it speaks volumes of the depth of quality of the shows he is on that his fights are almost always televised.

I genuinely couldn't give a rats ass about Kevin Mitchell. To me he is over-hyped, arrogant crap

I won't bother to roll out the same old thoughts about Mitchell. But if he's the great prospect we're supposed to believe he is, then he shouldn't be in with someone who's only had 5 pro outings.

I wonder how many of his scrot following will make it up there?? Dole money doesnt stretch that far these days.

I'll watch tape it. The only way I'll watch his fight is if he gets KO'd which isn't going to happen unfortunately.

I noticed Mitchell won a decision, did he look any good? Was it even shown on TV? I flicked off after the Calzaghe farce.

No, it was not.

Would have been interested in seeing this one rather than ANY of his previous televised blowout non-fights. I'd like to know if the guy he was fighting ran, or just had a good defence, or, god forbid, came to fight. Anyone know?

Ta, would have been good to see Mitchell like that, I'd like to see what he's like when he decides to pick his shots.

Going the distance a few times can only be good for a young prospect, nothing is learnt from quick one round blast outs.

Maybe he's listening to the critisism of himself, everyone was young once, if all your mates are telling you how great you are, you start to beleive it.

now he's had a bit of exposure and people that he respects in the game are telling him to calm it , he might.

hopefully he can learn as he goes on. If not then i won't be a fan of his.

Good to see him going the distance, at least it shows he wasn't in there with a guy looking to roll over at the first opportunity. Nice to hear he was a little calmer than usual too, because i sure as hell can't stand some of his victory antics.
