It's been 5 months... not seen a word breathed about him since his demolition loss to Katsidis ?

Spoke to Tibbs for half hour last nite re Kev. Results in Thursday's mag but in short he's had an eye op, is hungry again and back in December

Back in December to fight another no-hoper. Allegedly can't put him in a competitive fight again - he'll get destroyed even quicker.

Genuinely the most padded record allegedly has ever put together. He's rubbish.

I think that's harsh mate. I thought he boxed brilliantly against Prescott and his fight with Johanson was a fight of the year candidate. I agree that there's a lot of padding on his record, but he's got the skill,chin and power to go somewhere. Whether he is genuine world class is one thing, but with FW as his promoter he'll get another shot at something

He needs to find his level, it's all relative. He was and probably always has been overhyped but it does not make him rubbish.
Calling a fighter rubbish because he isn't world class is ridiculous!

Any more padded than Gavin Rees who then snatched the WBA belt and was WBO number 1 for about 15 years.

Mitchell is a good lad and a well schooled, fierce little box fighter. He got whacked against a very strong and powerful man in Katsidis. No shame in that. He'll be back and do well but probably not to the very top.

It's a real shame he couldn't make sfw no longer, he would have been a real force down there. At lightweight i don't see him winning a genuine world title. he's a good boxer tho and could get the ebu title and a crack at a world title but don't think he will win one.

I still think he can go on to fight for a world title. If his confidence hasn't been hit too hard and he gives his fight prep 100% then I think he'll have a decent chance of landing a world title shot.

Top form. On Mitchell v Prescott: "he weren't just 'ungry, he was faaackin' starvin".

Okay maybe rubbish was a bit OTT, but he is many levels below what a lot of people think/thought he is/was and that will get shown again if he steps up.

Hey Slapper. Personally you are being a bit harsh here. Mitchell is a good, entertaining fighter. He might not be cut out for world level, or is Katsidis actually that good who knows. He got beat in 2 rounds of a world class oponent, thats not too embarrassing. I hope he comes back better and stronger and has learnt a bit more defence, then we will see how good he is.

This is real shame. 130 is his weight class, he looked small against Prescot and Katsidis. If he fought someone his own size he will do so much better.
