Poll prediction - KATSIDIS v MITCHELL - KHAN v MALIGNAGGI

[Don Crusto.]

Mitchell by stoppage probably down to cuts or damage,and Khan by stoppage late.

Mitchell-Katsidis is going to be a war,could deffo be a FOTY candidate.

[Savino]

Mitchell to win on a UD.

Khan to win by a wide UD.

[murmagic]

Kev by close UD
Paulie by UD

[Lloydy]

If Mitchell sticks to his boxing like he did against Prescott I can seriously see him stopping Katsidis. Mitchell is a tough little fighter with a decent chin and excellent heart, for proof of this look at his fight with Carl Johanssen. Yeah he took far too many big shots in that fight but showed his boxing ability against Prescott, so if he avoids a tear up and boxes he win by a late KO or points imo.

Khan should beat Malinaggi but its not going to be easy imo. Paulie is fighting in his own back garden and is in form so won't want to be embarrassed at home. Still I think Khans power will eventually be the difference and he'll stop Paulie in the 11th.

Mitchells first test at world level and Katsidis has fell just short of it during his career .Beat off Diaz and Casamayor and never picked up a belt .I was a bit surprised when I read that .I'm going with Mitchell because I just think he'll win it .I hope Katsidis forces him into a tear up tho .Mitchell late stoppage or decision.

I think power will be the big difference in the Khan Malignaggi fight as well .Hatton walked through him and i've just got a feeling Khan will do the same .Khan late stoppage .

Khan wins by UD or early stoppage, I reckon that he'll come out with all guns blazing (ala Salita fight) because he doesn't need to worry about getting KO'ed by Paulie. If he KO's Paulie he knows it'll get him noticed in the States, Cotto couldn't stop him and neither could Hatton (though he did force the towel to be thrown in, but Paulie wanted to fight on).

Mitchell wins split-decision. It'll be a very close, hard fought contest but Mitchell takes it because it's on home turf.

If anything, I think Mitchell is underrated, but I reckon thats just because most fans outside Europe have only seen him fight once or twice.

I'm picking him to easily outbox Katsidis to a UD. Katsidis will pressure him but most people dont realise than Mitchell loves a tear up so he'll have no bother going toe-to-toe with Katsidis if he wants to mix it up. Mitchell will be too smart and too skilled.

I'm also picking Khan by UD. I was going to go for a TKO but to be fair to Malignaggi, although he looks like a douchebag, he's actually pretty tough.

[Hard Chaw]

Mitchell by tko or ko. Katsidis is spent goods. Should still be a cracking fight to watch.

[adietheforestfa]

Mitchell by KO, TKO Round 10.

Khan by KO, TKO inside 3.
