Good writer, but I wish he'd stick to boxing over that Tennis nonsense.

I assumed you meant Kevin Mitchell the wasted talented boxer who's on the come back trail after pissing it up the wall again.

I like Kevin he is a good fighter that could have been a great fighter Hard work and Dedication were lacking he got too much to young and I think his best days are behind him.

One defeat from becoming a pudgy lightwelter trialhorse.

He's mentioned Crolla, Rees and the Mathews v Coyle winner as guys he is keeping his eye on. Should be good markers for where he is if they come off.

If he's fit and has prepared well then he is in with the top domestic class; Euro and World are beyond him though, all excuses aside. He's a lovely boxer to watch, very economical and has some powerful punches through timing and leverage. I hope he has 2 or 3 bouts to get match fit and gets in with Crolla or Rees - titles on the line or not they would be excellent bouts.

I think he is capable of winning the Euro title, but agree with what you say regarding the World level I think if he does string a good run of form together and gets another shot then he will come up short again.

Definietly good enough to be a european champion. He's already beaten Murray who was a european champion.

Not too sure he has posse it up the wall. Two defeats against two men who were simply a level above him. No shame in that.

Murray was a very good win too.

He can come back and earn himself a nice few quid that's for sure.

He won every round last night but I'm not sure anyone actually saw it as we were all watching Price.

I think Mitchell looked good, albeit against a limited opponent.

The lad is talented and has massively underachieved in his career. Just hope he gets in the domestic mix with Matthews, Crolla and Rees.

Hopefully Matchroom will ensure his long periods of inactivity are a thing of the past. I think the lad knows he in the last last chance saloon.

Talking of Murray, any idea what is happening with him?

Great division domestically is lightweight!

Did I hear Mitchell trying to claim he'd been out of the ring for 14 months prior to the Burns fight? and using it as an excuse?

Well we don't know. Did you?

So when he got offered the fight he should of said no, he took got beat move on!

Maybe I misheard as he'd fought 10 rounds in the February. I'm sure he remembers.

Should fight Crolla next !

Yeah I'd like to see him in there with Corolla. I have to say, after watching Chris Jenkins, he impressed me more than Mitchell.

Lol. I went to York hall for that as well. Awful fight as I recall.
