Mitchell has mad skills. Can’t believe he hasn’t become a world champ.
he had two world title shots but he lost both fights via tko, against Katsidis and Burns….now the Wbc champion is Figueroa, it could be a great fight but I’m not sure Mitchell can win
I haven’t seen that fight, but I have no idea how this guy right here got beat by Ricky Burns. The WBC champ is actually Linares & that is a tough fight. Maybe they should target Mickey Mouse Bey. Mitchell would knock him out, I think.
I’ve seen the Katsidis fight and Mitchell looked the total opposite as he did back then :) 3 stars.
Never seen Mitchell before this fight, but I’m a fan now. He can slip punches and throw a few with bad intention. His balance is excellent.
Really nice moves from Mitchell, his bending looks awsome against Estrada whom didn’t know how reach MItchell. This is a good fight but only thanks to Mitchell. Estrada was too slow and still.
