Surely with all Mitchell's police problems in the background that must have a serious effect on his preparations?

IF this fight goes ahead gotta make Murray a red-hot favourite ....

Should be a fun fight

mitchell will get stopped sometime after the 6th round, johannesen is a poor mans murray and he had mitchell in all sorts of trouble.

Johannesson probably had better one punch power than Murray. Regardless,i agree Murray will beat Mitchell comfortably. I expect a big effort from Kev early on and then a mid rond stoppage for Murray. Mitchell is lucky FW has looked after him so well.

[jessi]

if mitchells head is right and his preperation goes very well he will be to smart for murray !
they are 2 big ifs but im choosing mitchell on points in a very interesting fight, but like someone said earlier, i wont believe this fight untill there in the ring...

[Terrrrry]

Mitchell, TKO, later rounds

I like Murray, but as long as the weight/bodily advantage that Murray has doesn't affect Mitchell too much, I can see Mitchell's skills outdoing Murray's workrate.

Should be a belter!

[tear up]

murray will stop him late after he wore him down to many distraction s you cant train properly with whats gone on every fighter couldnt its in the back of his head none stop funny old thing the mind but just hope its a good fight and not a 1 way thing like his last one

[DavidPayne]

If this fight happens I'll be surprised.

Great fight! Both men's strengths are the other weaknesses, Murray struggles with movement and Mitchell struggles with strong, come forward aggressors. I think it's a matter of who can set the pace and dictate the distance. I see Mitchell starting fast with his combinations and movement working behind the jab not letting Murray get set and getting through his somewhat poor defence, but after around 5 Mitchell rounds I can see Murray's pressure begin to pay off with crunching body shots and bringing in the combinations, pushing Mitchell back against the ropes. I see Murray stopping Mitchell around the 10th in an absolute cracker!!

[DavidPayne]

Alex, I think you're overlooking the mental side of this.

Re-read every Kevin Mitchell interview from the last six months and find me one crumb of self-belief or dedication to boxing longer term. I couldn't find any.

Kevin's a nice lad, met him briefly and life is complicated sometimes, but he doesn't sound like a guy with the focus required to beat Murray.

[THEBUTCH]

Agreed David Payne, already been scheduled and cancelled so no guarantee it will happen.

If it does, I'm going for Mitchell, maybe even by stoppage. I didn't like what I saw last time out from Murray. Somethings changed. A risky basis to come up with a predicition, but I'll stick to it.

[Captain Hook]

Murray late stoppage, he's just too strong

Respect your opinion Butch. When you mention last time out.......................

[Dan Dares]

I didn't like what I saw last time out from Murray.

Nor me. I think he looked weak at the weight, and was hyped to buggery beforehand. This fight is 50/50 for me.

Great fight this, Mitchell got found out massively against Katsidis and I fear it could happen again here. I am a Murray fan myself so will stick my neck out and say a Murray stoppage by round 8. Looking forward to it though.
