Mitchell is certainly NOT more talented and a level above Ricky. I like Mitchell but Ricky will outclass him and more than likely wear him down. Ricky is comfortable at this weight allowing him to be bigger and stronger for the fight!
Ricky to win in 10
Agree with LogieB, Ricky will outclass him but I think that Mitchell wont go down as easily as a few predict.
I have got a ticket for the fight
Going to be a superb atmosphere.
Burns will be wanting to control with his jab and make it hard for Mitchell to get inside, that's how I see the fight going. Burns is much better and fitter than John Murray so won't fall apart.
Mitchell is very dangerous though, if he gets through with a solid shot it could be interesting. Buzzing for it
Don't know where you are getting Mitchell is a class above Burns? Don't want to go back to the Katsidis fight but look at the difference. Mitchell will say his mind wasn't there because he got an absolute tanking.
I think Mitchell is a great fighter and I like him but to say he is vastly more talented than Ricky Burns is absolute nonsense mate
Just my opinion, as i said Burns is a great boxer and i rate him highly but Mitchells just a bit too good for him and a level above him in terms of ability and skills. He had a blip where he got depressed, stopped training, lost all motivaion and was drinking heavily but all that crap is past him and i believe Kev is better than Ricky and we"ll see saturday. I'll hold my hands up if i'm wrong but i just cant see him losing
Will be a cracker of a fight anyway! Interesting Mitchell said as well he"ll quit boxing if he loses
Fair enough mate , Im not knocking Mitchell at all, I really like the way he fights but I don't think he's vastly superior to Burns at all. Burns totally outclassed Katsidis and had a great victory over Martinez who has just won become world champion again to win the world title, with a good few solid wins in between.
I think it will be a barnstormer. Either Burns by points or Mitchell by KO. However I think Burns will make if very difficult for Mitchell to catch him properly.
Decision win for Burns, will be a cracker though
Should be a cracking fight.
I do think Mitchell can get to Burns, but the longer the fight goes on the more I favour the Scotsman. I think Mitchell's skills are very under-rated and believe he can pull off a shock if he's at his very best.
If any of the two of them are not at their best on the night then the other will win, simple as that.
UD for Burns unless he wears him down in the latter rounds enough to win by tko.
I know Mitchell has power but Burns has a solid chin and is hard to catch cleanly. He's technically better, and probably slightly quicker bit this is gonna be a close tough fight.
I can't wait for it, and Harrison should be nowhere near getting a shot at the winner of this fight.

I agree, if Burns wins tomorrow I will be very dissapointed if he fights Harrison, he should be going onto better things.
Harrison said he was been promised the winner by Frank warren though and that he will tear both of them to pieces dog of a man.
I would be gutted if Ricky fought Harrison! He really should get moving in this division and fighting Harrison would be a bad move! If he beats Mitchell, then his wins over Moses and Katsidis means he is cleaning up the lower end of the division!
If Ricky wins tomorrow then a superfight against a big banger like DeMarco would be another career defining fight just like his win against Roman Martinez, which appears to have been the making of Ricky!!
He wants to stay away from Adrien Broner though. That kid will clean up and be the next Floyd
Has he fought at this weight yet?
Broner im sure has just moved upto lighweight aswell? I know he was touted to fight Burns last year but Burns moved up. Broner has challenged Robert Guerrero who is a welterweight saying he will easily jump up 2 weight classes to fight him.
Just looked at his stats 24-0 (20 ko's) Another dangerous banger
rnr,
you stay out of trouble tomorrow, maybe improve that cockney accent

Ricky Bhoy looking ripped ahead of the fight
Mate, he is quality
don't worry, i'm loaded with the cold so will be keeping a lowish profile.
Have a good weekend mate
And you rnr. Enjoy the fight
Broner is looking like the next superstar of boxing if he keeps doing what he's doing
Is Donaire still fighting at lightweight? That would be a good but tough fight for Ricky if he wins tomorrow night
Enjoy the fight rnr, jealous as fook. Was gonna get a ticket but it was a choice of the euro home games or the fight.
Cheers mate, hopefully get the win we all want
Have a good time rock mate !! Atmosphere will be fkin immense there tomorrow. Enjoy
