Whilst perusing the schedules, I see Kevin Mitchell is down to fight this fella:

I see he holds a win over recent John Murray victim Nacho Mendoza (for the vacant IBF Mediterranean title, ,no less!), although it was a close points win, in Italy, so that might not be the whole story.

Does this represent a decent step-up, do you think? Seems reasonable enough on paper.

Seems a good enough test, the Italian is on a good winning run and will hopefully come to win. Good match

It would be nice to see Mitchell in against domestic foes - known quantities who we could accurately gauage his progress against.

i've been wanting him to fight domestic opposition for ages now. he'll soon become an honoury frenchman at this rate.

cracking fight for him

I agree fellas, maybe they could stick him in with someone like Andrew Ferrans, Steve Chinnock, Rocky Dean maybe Kevin O'Hara. After all Mitchell is 18-0 now and i don't think any of those names would be too much to ask.

Micky Hunters ko of Rocky Dean was marvelous, first minuite or so.
