How many of you HONESTLY thought MITCHELL was gonna beat TSYZU??

[!! Mr. Soprano]

I kinda dont get your point. Are you being sarcastic? If not than please explain yourself.

You said

How can a guy with a record like Tszyu, the guy who beat all kinds of opponents can get exposed.

Same thing happened to RJJ. He beat everyone who stood on his path and than BOOM!
My point is that in Boxing, no matter how good you are, there is always a chance. And one even accidental, yet perfect punch can end it all..

how can a punch be accidental?

Tsyzu will lose soon, he is too one dimensional and will get exposed.

Probably why you thought Mitchell would win...

[wmute]

I thought mitchell would win cos the layoff, the injuries...
but boxing is full of surprises!

[NAB]

In a survey of 77 boxers, journo's & trainers, 44 picked Mitchell, 33 picked Tszyu.

I thought that Mitchell would win in a very close fight. Was it just me or did he look a bit chubby in that fight? I like Sharmba a lot, but he really ****ed up big time. He was so over anxious and was totally off his game. It's a shame, I thought it was going to be his time.

[Shaolin Bushido]

I thought he'd lose and here's why. He had a helluva long layoff; he'd had at least two serious injuries that kept him from either training or fighting. He still has relatively few fights despite having the record for a jr welter titleist in terms of his tenure.

The first fight Sharmba acquitted himself very well up til he was injured and did decently even after that. He'd also had a good run of defeating several credible contenders prior to their rematch and that's about it.

No excuses.

[TheGreat1]

I thought Shamba would win, not because i thought he was better but because of the layoff and that fact that mitchell was fighting every other month.

[Stickman]

i just remember there were a bunch of people that said tsyzu was gonna lose becuase of the layoff and his age..i dont remember who were the ones to say it but i remember a huge amount of people felt that mitchell would win...mitchell seemed like he was fighting scared by the way and it was used to tsyzu advantage

Not me. I can't think of anyone in the division I'd have picked over Kostya at that time, but if I could, Mitchell wouldn't be on the list. I couldn't get great odds on the fight through my guy, or I'd have put a bundle on Kostya for that one. Best I could get was around +175. If I remember correctly, the odds were fairly the same for either fighter, with Kostya being a slight favorite in some places. No fun that way.

i thought mitchell was gonna beat zoo by SD.with the layoff and the injurys zoo was getting i thought it would help mitchell.also mitchell looked hungry for that match.but zoo pulled it off in great fashion.koysta has to be at the top of anybodys P4P list.he has beaten the best that his weight division has to offer.i think he will beat hotton with ease.hatton has always fought low level fighters in his home town..i would hate to be the ref that is calling the fight.could you see hatton going down and the ref doing a fast count lol the freaking crowd would hang his ass in the arena lol.
