Yeah it's an exciting division, Selby was brilliant tonight as well.
Looking forward to this Mitchell fight, close first round. Potential to be the fight of the night.
Mitchell did great there, the recovery from Linares was very impressive.
Any rivers boys?
Would appreciate one too.
I think Mitchell has been one of the most talented British fighters of this generation. He just has durability issues and lived too fast out of the ring.
Mitchell is a tough **** but that should be stopped.
Can't have seen much form his left eye.
Jesus, that eye was fecked!! Great fight though, gutted for Mitchell always liked him
He looks horrific.
Those injuries are savage!
Hate being that guy but could someone pm me a river?
Called a Mitchell stoppage unfortunately to lads here. Sky ignored a lot of Linares' work. Flash knockdown was proven when he came back and dominated the remainder of the round. Mitchell landed eye-catching shots but his face was progressively getting worse and worse. Linares controlled the centre of the ring for most of the contest and while I had Mitchell winning, with each blow, the risk of slipping for one second with his concentration grew larger and larger. He was either going to get trapped in the corner or stay in the pocket for a split second too long and the rest was history.
Sad for him. He should take heart from it because that (and this recent) version of Mitchell would have wiped the floor with Burns and Katsidis in their previous encounters.

Mitchell looked like someone had sellotaped a golf ball to his eye. Got battered.
someone please please please PM me a stream for the fights
Joshua should be docked a point for his entrance music
C'mon Joshua
This guys way out of depth.
Joshua is the most impressive heavyweight I've seen in years.
Weak opposition all the same.
HOLY SH!T.
he is the real deal
Too easy again
Joshua is an animal, gonna be fun watching him progress. Time to get him in with someone noteworthy.
who?
Klitschko.
He's a class fighter but he really does need to step his opponents up. It's all well and good Hearn etc saying they need close fights but they're the ones booking it.
Price is a good candidate and would fight him, don't expect him to fiht world champions but there's plenty of good level fighters....much better than Kevin Johnson

Cant believe 1/3 was available on this fight not to finish earlier on betfair
He is incredible, destroyed him.
Anyone not called Klitschko basically. No need to rush him so I don't think there is a need to have him fight Fury/Wilder yet but let's see him in there with someone that isn't past it.
Still wouldn't chuck Price at him. Weak chin but an equally powerful punch and it's too much of a gamble. AJ is already above him in the pecking order.
Stick him in with Fury's latest fodder Christian Hammer and Chhisora then go for Klitschko fodder after - Manuel Charr, Odlanier Solis and Leapai.
Avoid Wlad, Povetkin, Fury, Wilder and Price till absolutely necessary.
Build the momentum and the resume of knockouts first. Carry on developing the fear. Klitschko too soon is a derailer.

Only Klitschko can challenge Joshua, Wilder only has a punchers chance IMO.
Johnson was meant to be a step up, never been knocked out and been in with Kiltchko etc but got blasted out in no time. Time to step him up a bit more but not too much as he's still learning.
Too early for that. If the fight were to go 12 rounds, Wlad's experience would no doubt play a part.
Still, what an exciting prospect. Reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons
Maybe Povetkin?
Joshua has to be taken longer before we truly know how good he is or can be, but you can't not be impressed by his ability to just blast people. It's exciting that we have a young British heavyweight like this, the division needed it, boxing needed it.
Froch is dying to laugh there.
Never seen a full Kell Brook fight. He a good fighter?
I'd back a finish in less personally but the risk of a Hail Mary wipeout shot is too great. Price's right hand could knock any heavyweight in the game over. Why risk it? No need. Chisora can fill the British rival shoes and get experience there.
