What a cracking fight this was! It really has washed away the doubts about Kevin Mitchell - he was class against an unbeaten and very tough Murray... did anyone else see this one?
Great fight, Murray was tough, but Mitchell caught him win hard clean shots throughout and they took its toll. How many uppercuts did Murray eat? Devastating left hook to put him down in the end. Mitchell looked like a class act, to land those hard punches with such accuracry, his conditioning looked spot on as well because the fight was fought at some pace with big shots and he still had loads in the tank. World title shot next for Mitchell.
Thought he was brilliant. Murray reminded me a lot of how Hatton use to fight by stalking down the opposition. Best fight I have seen for while.
I take my hat off to him. He through his own admission went totally off the rails and the Katsidis fight could've easily been the last we saw of him. But to come back after 14 months out and perform how he did was top drawer. Back up to No.5 in Ring Magazine rankings after that as well.
I watched this fight and was the best fight i have seen this year. Both fighters were great but massive credit to Kevin Mitchell for coming back like that after a period of time away from boxing.
