Good Roach will surely get his defence tighter get him fitter Roach will do him nothing but good

Trainers should be better than the fighters in order for the boxer to progress

you would say that :lol: IMO there isnt much difference between our trainers and theirs. However i do think its a good idea to travel stateside to spar and learn as well. Arnie any plans to take Gavin to states to do some work?

Mitchel would easily fill the O2. Local to the lad I think and has a big enough fan base around the country from what I read and see. York Hall looks full capacity when you see him fighting there. O2 would be a great choice of venue for the World Title shot. British Fans behind him as well. :TU:

ive been to some of mitchells fights at york hall and its brimming with fans and thats just when he does 8 or 10 rnd's just imagine what it would be like if it were for a title WBO BRITISH no way could that be at york hall gotta be o2

there is big difference between the york hall and the o2.good luck to him if it happens,but i wouldnt put him on there based on him filling the york hall which holds around 1500 and is in his backyard

York Hall holds barely over 1,000. Doesn't the o2 hold over 20,000?

Can't see Mitchell filling that ever to be honest, let alone right now. He would do well to pull in 5-6,000.

what for an 8 rounder ??? a show opener if he was boxing for a belt then yeah you would be right, i paid the ppv just to watch his fight, what a let down they didnt show it

my point is,if his promotional team thought he could have made them all wages they would have put him in down there.regardless of the belt on the line,fans turn up to watch certain people.he just isnt one of them
