Kevin Mitchell on the move

Mitchell has left Johnny Eames and will now be trained by rookie coach Babatunde Ajayi (X-Man) .
Not sure of the details of the split, but I remember Eames rightly suggesting Mitchell was turning Pro too early

Yeah I would have liked to see him in Athens rather than fighting nobodies and making a tw@t out of himself with that pointless showboating.

Kevin Mitchell is going to get seriously sparked one of these days. Mark my words...
His attitude is just asking for a 'Lewis vs Rachman I' style upset before long. He's clearly a bit dim (ever seen an interview with him?) and fully believes his own hype (cue the showboating)... and one day will just get seriously clobbered....

My young cousin went to school with him. Nasty piece of work by all accounts.
My impression of him is that he isnt too bright and will be badly exposed when he steps up.

I've asked this before but didn't get much of a response.
How does Kevin Mitchell compare to Amir Khan talent wise?
Did everyone talk about Mitchell the same way before he turned professional?

From what I have heard about Amir Khan, he is "special". I think with Mitchell is was more a case of him being "good".
Mitchell certainly hadn't achieved what Amir Khan has done in his amatuer career.
Amir Kahn = Arsenal
Kevin Mitchell = West Ham
You dig?

Thanks, I dig! And which club would David Haye be based on amateur talent?

Well... he'd be right up there obviously. Shall we say Man Utd or Chelsea?

Chelsea!

He's from London and I think they'll have a better season than Man Utd.

Hatton could be Millwall, massive Pikey support even though never achieved anything and may never step up to the top flight

The future's bright for Mitchell: a WBU Intercontinental title win over a handpicked nobody, a WBU International title win over a handpicked nobody and a WBU title win over a handpicked nobody.

i can be found in the sportsnetwork office and I'd also like to say Tyson is finished and Roy Jones is a poof.
(the view of J-C are his own and not those held by Boxrec please don't sue me!)

Warren has probably told Mitchell that the WBU is a major belt - he is thick enough to believe him

What sort of quality sparring will Mitchell get now he's out of TKO gym ????
