Gloster was a great pro, along with Bramhald and Casey, but Gloster was always more likely to cause the upset.

Hoping you would answer, bennie.

There was a bit of needle between them. Mitchell didn't seem to get that form back. Any idea of the story behind him?

Mitchell blew horribly hot and cold. I remember BN doing a feature on him once and labelling him an "enigma". He was managed by ex-heavyweight pro Dave Roden, who lacked the connections to push Mitchell on, so Mitchell was never able to reap the rewards of the upsets he scored.

If you haven't read it ..... he gets a fair mention in the Kirkland Laing biography, both amatuer and pro :box:
