Can't see past Burns but I have hope that Mitchell can pull something off

Aye.
Burns is quite underrated because of his lack of power and unassuming personality. There is actually a real steel about him and a fierce dedication to his craft. I really like Mitchell stylistically but like you, I lean towards Burns.
I'm I watching the right stream? Is Scott Harrison fighting on this bill?
He is, he is hoping to get the winner of the main event!
That was only a 6 round fight wasn't it? Never watched it had the golf on
Well that's it for Mitchell he doesn't deserve to be ever given another big fight, after Katsidis and burns both been massive embarrassments he shouldn't bother going above domestic level anymore. Another shocking performance
Little bit harsh. Burns always had a bad style for Mitchell, it was always going to be very hard for him to close down the range and hurt Burns. Burns also has a good chin and is physically stronger than Mitchell, Mitchell was always the underdog.
Burns needs to step up a level now and take on some of the true elite. The lightweight division is pretty weak at the moment. Antonio De Marco is the highest ranked fighter in The Ring ratings but apart from that there is nothing there for Burns. He is definitely big enough to move up to junior welterweight where there are plenty of good fighters: Kahn, Guerrero, Matthysee, Garcia and Marquez to name a few. Garcia is considered the lineal champ and I happen to think that he has a good style for Burns. The real test for him at JWW will be facing fighters that are as big and as physically strong as him.
I expected Burns to win but I thought Mitchell would give a better performance, I still feel he has stepped up in level twice now and been badly embarrassed twice it would kind of suggest to me that it's not really his level and he would be better at domestic maybe European level. I do agree with you about Burns there doesn't seem anything left for him at this level and maybe should try and have a shot a light welterweight and see how he does but there is a real gulf in class with that step up.
What is it with boxers and tragedy?

Bloody Hell thats horrific.
Had a fondness for him as a boxer too. He'll be sadly missed.
First interview with Paul Williams since he was paralysed in a motorbike accident. Incredible outlook that he has.

Anyone see Khan on Ringside yesterday? What a complete cock that guy is.
He was constantly talking down to Brook and came out with one some arrogant stuff. He said to Brook something like 'You fight Bradley and I'll fight the winner'. Complete tosser.

I like Brooks considered style against Khan. He is a precise counter puncher with good power. Khan could be eating canvas again should they meet.
Orlando Cruz the first currently active boxer to publically come out as being gay

Brave of him. And *pummelled around the ring* joke
Khan is a complete tit. He said about how he offered Bradley a 50/50 split, well isn't that big of him. Considering he's lost his last 2 fights, the most recent of which, he was ko'd by a nobody, and how Bradley is coming off a win (kinda) over pacquaio.
Was back in ireland for the week and managed to make it to limerick to meet mike tyson. Lovely bloke, got a photo with him which I'm delighted about. Terribly organised event though.
The Nonito Donaire vs. Toshiaki Nishioka and Brandon Rios vs. Mike Alvarado card tonight should be brilliant.
Harrison Vs Price tonight as well. Well worth seeing despite the possibly of another horror show from Harrison
What times the fight and where are to good streams?
Should kickoff around 21:00GMT. Should be able to find a stream on:
Price to win in 3 rounds.
Fraudley comming out now, scouse crowd mocking him like mad although did laugh at the "who are ya, who are ya" chant, seeing as he is crap but a big name so is getting used to get Price more up there, so to speak.
Price coming out to YAWN 
lol
Oh deary me....................
He's got to quit now surely? What 1min 35 of the first round left and he's done for about a week. Crazy. People are just using his name now to get up the ladder more.
Ha ha. Read a text stream of it. Need to see some video
Garbage fight from the second it was made.
Is it on YouTube yet?
Eubank Jr and Degale on C5 next.
Nope. Damn. Could have used a laugh.
I'm away from TVs. Is it possible to stream to Iphone?
What happened?
It is on a popular streaming site.
Audley did an "Audley".
But for Iphone?
To many people slating Audley, not giving credit to Price. Price is just a beast. 14 fights, 14 wins, 12 knockouts, 6 of those were in the first round. He's just got immense power. He'd knockout the Klitschko's, but they won't fight him.
De Gale lets fights get too messy.
Harrison was never a great heavy and he is totally washed up. The K brothers are an entirely different kettle of fish. He seemingly has the tools to trouble them but I wouldn't pick for him against either brother from what I have seen of the three fighters, not yet anyway.
