Alright. Good fight on a Saturday afternoon. Works for me.

Just seen Ricky Burns fighting, looked pretty average against Youssef Al Hamidi. Very excited for when Degale arrives, and buzzing for the main event!

Which fight is going out first?
"All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him." - Jack Dempsey
I’d expect DeGale. The Gavin and Saunders fights have happened and been taped and they’ll fit those in when they have downtime (expected after DeGale-Horton, I’d guess).

It might look empty later, too. 20k crowd for the main fight but the Boleyn Ground holds 35k for football games.

Crowd looks superb from some angles
"All the time he's boxing, he's thinking. All the time he was thinking, I was hitting him." - Jack Dempsey
Williams-Chisora R1
Williams with an extremely slow left hook, ducked easily by Chisora. Chisora with a jab. Chisora with a left as they lean on one another. Two warnings already for Williams and his holding. He has no conditioning and I don’t think he has any real desire to be here. Williams backs himself into the corner. When Chisora throws, Williams does his best to just lean away and grab up. Williams looks awful. This seems like a corner retirement when Williams just doesn’t feel like getting off the stool eventually.
Chisora 10-9
Bad Left Hook
"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
I've never seen Chisora
But after watching the 1st round. All I can think of is Sam Peter from 5 years ago.

Williams-Chisora R2
They report that Ricky Hatton said Williams was a nervous wreck in the locker room. Williams’ legs are gone as Chisora finally lands, and a LEFT HOOK PUTS WILLIAMS ON THE CANVAS!
Look, just stop that. There’s half a round left and he has no intention of putting on a fight. Williams down again and it’s stopped.

Decent accuracy from Chisora
He looks like a fairly strong finisher actually.
Would get slaughtered by the Brothers, of course.

I think we’ll learn a lot about Mitchell in particular today. Mitchell hasn’t really fought anyone yet. This is a really big step up. They’re talking about the Ignacio Mendoza fight right now and Mendoza was shot in that fight. That’s one of his best wins. His best is probably Prescott? And Prescott stinks. There’s Carl Johanneson…
Anyway, I’m just saying Katsidis is the first real test for Mitchell. We’ll see what he’s got against a guy like that.

Right now
Very hard to tell. Khan has excellent talent and undeniably good power, but I find it hard to believe that any one top ten, not named Paulie, won’t find his chin and send him down.

Looks good but he has some bad habits that he needs to get rid of. Hands up when he goes on offense, hands down when he is on defense.
by Waldo Rastel on May 15, 2010 3:39 PM EDT up reply actions
It’s hard to really judge… He doesn’t have the power that the other fighters have… Maybe when he gets older the power will come, similar to Cleverly, but like he’s showing here, he doesn’t really buzz Butlin like DeGale would probably do…
He seems quite smart
Pants power though.

To his credit he is throwing 100+ punches a round. If he could sit down on like a third of them and only throw 70 a round he would be much better off.
by Waldo Rastel on May 15, 2010 3:42 PM EDT up reply actions
he leaves himself very open
and throws wide looping shots at times. against a straight punching fighter that would doom him.
Saunders seems a bit like Juan Diaz at this point. Tons of punches, great body work, little concern for defense, and a potential eventually crippling lack of power. It could just be youthful exuberance though.
hE IS A FRIGGIN BILLY GOAT.

An idea for an article series
Post a fight of a prospect and then have the BLH give advice to the prospect. What people see as flaws and strengths of the fighter and what we would like to see him improve. This type of article will be fun for the vets and would let other see what posters look for in a fighter and in a boxing match.
ugh
That’s such a red flag for a prospect. And nothing he can help whatsoever. Just one of those things.

although his power seems to be lacking
wouldnt you rather see your fighter throw 600 punches in a 6 round fight then bring the power along. if you can develop the power first the workrate may never come along.

they are pushing degale very aggresively.
Not really
12 rounds is tough, but the opponent is a world away in terms of ability.

He’s a boxing promoter. But Warren always has an opinion that he spreads far and wide on just about everything.

Katsidis-Mitchell R1
Mitchell jabbing to start but not landing. Katsidis doing nothing for the first minute. Katsidis opens up with a right that misses and a slapping left hook that does land. Left hooks from Katsidis, Mitchell on the ropes. And he gets away quickly. First two minutes are a bit tentative. Mitchell lands a jab, but not much on it.
Katsidis with a right hand. They’re calling this entirely for Mitchell, but he’s done nothing at all so far. Katsidis flurries and I think wins the round.
Katsidis 10-9

I think an aggressive’ Katsidis’ sheer power gives Marquez some problems, but eventually he takes him to school. Mitchell would be over his head in a big way, and I like Mitchell fine.

Katsidis is a much better pure puncher than Mitchell

"Baseball is played on the field, not on a calculator."
Katsidis-Mitchell R2
They’re calling this entirely for Mitchell despite his ineffectiveness thus far. Not that Katsidis is being super impressive or easily winning, but Mitchell’s pokey jabs and missed right hands are not “positive” or “nicking” anything.
But Mitchell is having a fine round, and then Katsidis starts coming back and lands a good right and a left hook. Mitchell on the ropes, lands nothing back that he throws, and Katsidis gets hit with an uppercut before the bell. Close round.
Mitchell 10-9
19-19

Mitchell is doing OK tying up but his legs are still shot. He’s throwing though! Katsidis still firing away and Mitchell trying to latch onto him.
Right hand Katsidis but Mitchell is still throwing. Another right by Katsidis. Katsidis might be going for something that isn’t going to happen. And Mitchell comes back! Katsidis punching again! Mitchell on the ropes and hit with a left hook and the fight IS OVER!!!

So Katsidis vs. Marquez is set
Because I give Diaz absolutely no chance against Marquez. And even if Diaz does shut me up then Katsidis is going to violently abuse him.

Not sure about that
But he fought with completely the wrong strategy against Diaz. Plus, Diaz honestly has faded a bit since then.

LMFAO Go Mick
Just staggered out of bed to see how my homie went . So much for the poms and their crowing that Mitchell was going stop Mick . Sounds like the pom ref was as friendly to the out of town fighter as is the norm and that the audience was the usual classy pom fight crowd . Nice to see the Toowoomba bloke get the win. Whatever anyone says Mick has balls and is usually entertaining . Go the Queenslander .
