Observations on Khan-Salita and Prescott-Mitchell

khan3432By Scott Gilfoid: First let me start off by saying that the decision given to Kevin Mitchell (30-0, 22 KO’s) was one of the most undeserving that I’ve ever seen since I started following boxing many years ago. No way did I see Mitchell winning this fight, not with the running he did against the hard hitting Breidis Prescott (21-2, 18 KO’s).
