Ricky Burns V Kevin Mitchell

[mfc_se15]

Think it will be a fairly close fight. Think Burns wins on points though, although I am biased as I really want him to win! Knock out would be preferble though Billy if you can help arrange that

[jessi]

Mitchell wins in a classic !

I can't explain why, and neither am I regular in the ridiculously pro-Mitchell-Brigade, but for some strange reason I do think that Mitchell will beat Burns in this one.

Burns has a lot to lose here, but not a great deal to gain.

We will gain a victory we should have got when they were matched at SFW and Kevin pulled out late on.
Kevin thinks hes No1 we will prove hes not in front of 10,000 mad scotsmen

I love Scotland Billy but if it's a sell out I predict at least 500 London/Essex boys there and we are louder then you think !
Also it was funny on bunceys hour Monday, you both knew the fight was being announced the next day but couldn't say anything !

[jessi]

Mitchell fans must be on crack or something if they think he's got a chance. Kevin does nothing better than Ricky... How can anyone think he is gonna cause much problems? Mitchell is Euro level at best.. Ricky is top 3 in the world. I agree that Billy sometimes thinks he beats everyone easy but he's right this time. I don't really want to see this fight and will only be there if Ronnie is fighting

You talking out your arse mate if you think Ricky wins easy.

Its like the good guy of boxing against the sometimes off the rails but dangerous bad boy

I love this match up but with 3 months to go and both camps fully focused (i hope) i see Ricky edging it...just.

I wouldn't call Mitchell a bad boy. Always seemed very respectful towards opponents etc.
Away from the ring he might have his problems but I doubt that's because he is a bad person or nasty etc. Just doesn't think.

[Crazyboy]

Apologies, i suppose your right, i suppose meant its the clean living 'butter wouldn't melt in your mouth' type against the other 'done a few things but i'm ready to go now' type

if you get my meaning... i've confused meself now lol

[Gazmac81]

Mate theres no chance of Ronnie being on the show hes not promoted by FW or AM so no chance when they have plenty fighters to get on the show.

[Brute]

Burns outpointed Katsidis, Katsidis stopped Mitchell in three rounds.

I think Burns will win.

I lean towards Ricky, more so in Scotland. Kevin has already shown he can unravel. I think 135 suits the taller man too.

But absolutely in no way is Kevin Mitchell a big underdog. I just think the fight has been made far to late for him. He's lost all momentum from the Murray performance. I hope he can find the drive again to train and dedicate himself to this one. Against Murray he was facing the end of his career, this time he will be cockier.

Billy - is it BBBoC sanctioned ?

Cause its taking place after Haye vs Chisora and the BBBoC have issued threats with people working on that show.

My wifes threatned to leave me for years but it aint happened

[palooka]

That's not bad logic Billy

Mitchell will be happy to have Ricky thinking like you are, Ricky is preparing for the toughest fight of his life, Mitchell will prove a lot of people wrong in this fight just you watch, I really like Ricky but this is the changing of the guard time

[Gazmac81]

Billy , next time Buncey calls you Bill can you slap him please

something about that English Voice shortening everyones name in a Best Buddy way

or im i just getting angrier as i get older

[Autobarn]

great news. i see burns winning a tough, tense bout. mitchell might look great in spurts but i think he'll have to rally dig in to stay in this fight. burns knows how to control the action, at this level. he's asserttive, awkward and makes the other guy do a lot of work. hoepfully a really memorable fight, hopefully it catches fire, especially after all the stalling.

[daviddee]

Billy surely one of your Superfeather weights would be willing to fight Ronnie? As an away fighter it wouldn't matter who promoted Ronnie.. I know Ronnie respects all your fighters and gets on with them but surely you must be considering him to fight one of your guys. Unless there's another reason??

You've made some really good posts before Brute but have to disagree with your logic here. The triangular betting theory has made monkeys of many people.

[Gazmac81]

is this Ronnie Clark your talking about mate?

Mitchell looked badly out of shape on his breif Ringside appearance last night

[daviddee]

Yes mate is Ronnie Clark.

[Crazyboy]

3 months to go though still, and i believe he will get in shape and be well up for it.

That been said i'm in camp Burns for this one.....Ricky is perhaps my fav british boxer at the moment and i think he will win a classic...just.

[jamiedavies02]

I know its still awhile away, i just have a feeling tha inactivity and this weight gain may come back to bite him here, especially against someone like Burns who could make weight tomorrow
