For what reason?

That might explain why the Brook fight is off I guess, that becomes chief support for Khan/Salita, I love a conspiracy theory.

i dont really know the reason at the moment..................

There are all dispensable chess pieces, thats the reality.

and i know mitchell is thinking about moving up to lightweight...............

Mitchell is moving up to lightweight. I dont think its helped that he hasn't been consistant at SuperFeather, not having to defend the British title he hasn't had to make the weight and your body is like a memory store. Its a shame but no point in killing your body if it cant do the weight any more, even just for health reasons. I think this would be an interesting fight enough for the british boxing public to have this fight happen even without a title on the line, have it at a catch weight, its been done before. People want the good fights, irrelevent if a title is on the line or not

mitchell v murray would be quality

I hope not this looked to be a good domestic fight

i just hope my mate is pulling my pisser about all this cos i was really looking forward to this fight...

Makes sorts of sense if he is moving up he not fought at the weight in a long while. Burns should fight who for the vacant title?

Nicky Cook.

I didn't say he wasn't British Champ.....I said hes NOT HAD TO DEFEND the British title...Meaning he has not had to defend HIS title

there goes mitchell's chance of winning a world title. lightweight is a harder divison then super-feather.i think he would make super-feather still

Do you? You must know more about his body and weight more than he and Jimmy Tibbs actually do! Wouldn't say lightweight is a more harder divison than superfeather if he's not now going to be weakening himself to make weight and I wouldn't say his chances have gone.

It was more of a rhetorical question, although I'll admit I don't pay much attention to what the commonwealth belt is doing.

Remarkable he has been allowed to keep a title he hasn't defended for what will be 20 months.

i told u mitchell would pull out the fight with burns.........

On Eastsideboxing, an article say Mitchell-Prescott will probably, although is not definite yet, be contested at 140lbs!

Utter madness & stupidity if it does!

Is Burns going to get to fight for the vacant British title on the 5th of December bill?

Mitchell has got to be stripped of his title if he doesn't fight Burns.

Yes we know, you opened this discussion with the first post so your point is?........ Are you after some kind of praise or an award for 'you told' us !

If Mitchell is moving up to lightweight, Murray v Mitchell would be dream match up , but I'd be gobsmacked if they paired up anytime soon.

That's a great call. Would be an absolute corker.
