mighty celt 996 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 i no its shame loved his style, he would of beat linarez only for that brutal cut he suffered,shame that. didnt look good in his last fight looked slow and was throwing a very lazy jab. i think he made the right choice. all the best to him seems like a good bloke. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darbo 4,779 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 The right choice was a good skilled fighter pity he didnt win the world title but gave plenty of entertainment along the way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flipbull 1,139 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Would a fighter like kevin mitchell have earned enough to be comfy? Comfy for now yes......secure for life no. Well put Gnash.Any news up your neck of the woods if he will be staying in the sport, bit early to ask that question. He would have some knowledge to pass down to future fighters. Would also keep him on the straight and narrow the cockney sparrow.

DogFox123 1,379 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) I've got a bad feeling about Mitchell, I think he's already showing signs of being punchy. Touch wood for the kid, hope he keeps healthy. Edited February 11, 2016 by DogFox123 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Touch wood for the kid, hope he keeps healthy. As Gnash said it was the right time but was it little late. Aka Brindle hope your right mate because he will have plenty to offer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He,s applied for his trainers licence but then a lot of lads do when they retire its sometimes just a way of staying in the gym .....he did his bike test and bought one of these f****n ridiculous looking Harley Davidson things after his last fight so if he stays alive long enough to get a trainers licence we,ll see if he can make a go of it,i dont think he,s cut out for it myself.
