If my memory serves me correct Mendoza looked very decent that night and is still only 26.
yeah but the british rule re head butts and other injuries is a bad rule, no? and murray was backing mendoza up, most of the fight...
it's a shame no one has put the fight on youtube.
one of the best of murray's career.
it was a tough fight for murray.
mendoza was starting to pick murray off a bit at the time it was stopped.

the british cuts rule is a crock of sh*t.
but they won't change it will they.
Murray would have won. It was stopped (and went to the cards) due to a grotesque swelling on Mendoza's forehead.

i was ringside that night, murray was in a hell of a tear up to be honest, the fight was very very close and i though murray was going to get stopped as he was badly buzzed just before the stoppage.

Unless he has a big fight of some description lined up for him in the summer you would have to say choosing willie limmond and now this guy as opponents is hardly pushing the boat out after such a good win over prescot.
Maybe protecting him until he has a WBO title lined up.

If warren has katsidisw or world title fight lined up in the summer then a tune up fight is understandable for mitchell I just wasnt aware of mitchells future plans.

Totally untrue.
Mitchell needs the rounds. He lost a year of his career to a bad hand injury, needed two fight to get up to speed for Prescott and is at a new weight with a new trainer. Considering he had his biggest win in December, it's good to see him back in the ring two months later getting some momentum, rather than sitting around waiting for Katsidis.
It's not like he's facing Billy Smith or Peter Buckley.
leforge wrote:Mitchell now fought 3 bums out of last 4 fights.
His last 4 fights include Walter Estrada and Prescott.....I wouldn't class either of those bums. Before Estrada he boxed Johannson. So he's had at worst 2 warm up fights (as even them I wouldn't say was 'bums').
So in Mitchells last 5 fights he's boxed 2 "bums".
Seeing it like that doesn't look so bad after all does it?!
Your posts regarding this bill/Mitchell's fight is full of positives .
Lighten up you miserable git , theres been far worse!
Your obviously a mate of Mitchell Des1. As a fan I would rather see the two title fights live. As the bill is going out on Saturday night I hoped for better. This bill has changed a lot since first advertised.

Obviously? Why? I'm not infact, just a boxing fan. Would your comments 'obviously' make you hater....Of course not!
let's say mendoza was coming on well, looking good late. wouldn't anyone be coming on well, when his opponent has a grotesque and painful swelling on his head, an injury that prevented him from being able to fight on...
