Image: Frank Warren’s Night of Champions Preview: Cleverly, Chisora, Mitchell, Gavin, DeGale and Walsh brothers fly flag for BritainBy Alan Dawson: Saturday evening provides British boxing fans with their biggest domestic night of the year. After one of the headline acts provided more ducking than a Whack-a-mole machine that donned the defensive-nous of shoulder-roll happy Floyd Mayweather, promoter Frank Warren worked steadily to bring in adequate replacements. The omission of British Welterweight champion and current number one-ranked Brit Kell Brook will be lamented, yet the coup of hosting Nathan Cleverly’s European shot against Antonio Brancalion should be applauded.

Nathan Cleverly 18-0(8) v Antonio Brancalion 32-7-2(7)

Image: Mitchell vs. Mendoza: Kevin comments on Khan and Katsidis – NewsBy William Mackay: Lightweight contender Kevin Mitchell (30-0, 22 KO’s) will be facing 2nd tier lightweight Ignacio Mendoza (27-5, 18 KO’s) this Saturday in a stay busy fight at the Wembley Arena, Wembley, London. Mitchell, 25, is hoping to get a win so that he can possibly line up a fight against World Boxing Organization lightweight interim champion Michael Katsidis in the near future. However, Mitchell needs to get by the 26-year-old Mendoza to keep moving forward towards that goal. Mitchell defeated Colombian knockout artist Breidis Prescott by a 12 round decision in December.

How impressive was Kevin Mitchell against Prescott?

by

mitchell4538By Liam Brindle: How Impressive was Kevin Mitchell’s win against the lightweight contender and knockout artist Breidis Prescott on the 5th December in Newcastle? When the fight was made I thought it was a leap forward and a leap too far for ‘The Dagenham Destroyer’ because he had never fought anyone who punched like Breidis Prescott before.

mitchell3423By Mark Fletcher: At the start of 2009, things looked promising in the lightweight division as far as Great Britain were concerned, Amir Khan came back well from his first round knockout by Breidis Prescott, Jon Thaxton had rolled back the years to capture the European title and John Murray was set start a promising year as a British champion.

by

haye4534354By Chris Williams: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (23-1, 21 KO’s) had some positive words to say about fellow countryman Carl Froch, Amir Khan and Kevin Mitchell in an article from the Telegraph. Haye, 29, who recently defeated World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev by landing pot shots and running all night long, feels that Khan and Froch should be up for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award for their accomplishments in 2009.

Klitschko-Johnson: Will Vitali show his age this Saturday?

by

vit546343By Dave Lahr: World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Kitschko (38-2, 37 KO’s) will be returning to action this Saturday night in a title defense against unbeaten American Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KO’s) at the PostFinance Arena, in Berne, Switzerland. It’s only been three months since the 38-year-old Klitschko last fought and with that kind of short time between bouts, Klitschko could find himself at less than 100% against Johnson. Klitschko is getting up there in age at 38 and has a history of suffering bad injuries both in the ring and in training.

Prescott-Mitchell: Kevin’s elite performance

by

mitchell4534By Peter Wells: Last night Kevin Mitchell rose up from Super Featherweight to take on the man who only last year, knocked out Amir Khan in under a minute. Breidis Prescott was beaten last night for sure, but it was far from an easy ride for Kevin. In this fight I was expecting Mitchell to be knocked out inside 6 rounds. But I was wrong, and have no problem admitting it, Kevin proved he wasn’t fazed by Prescott’s power and kept in there with a natural Lightweight.

Observations on Khan-Salita and Prescott-Mitchell

by

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). Man, I haven’t seen running like that since I watched David Haye fight Nikolay Valuev. Mitchell was literally running from Prescott for 12 rounds, especially from rounds nine through twelve.

Khan and Mitchell stun the world

by

khan34245By Richie Doyle: As a young gambling boxing fan I find myself gob smacked at what I witnessed Saturday night in Newcastle my bets consisted of two sizable bets one on Breidis Prescott to KO the smaller Kevin Mitchell and the other was on Dmitry Salita to beat an overrated Amir Khan and by god how wrong I was as I have to say I witnessed a night for British boxing to be proud of and never forget.
