The ‘Battle of Britain’ certainly lived up to the hype on Saturday night as Scottish World Champion Ricky Burns gave us a master class against a brave Kevin Mitchell.
The clever money was on a tactical 12-rounder with Burns edging it, unless the ‘big puncher’ Mitchell was to land and get the knockout. However burns clearly hadn’t read the script landing a devastating left hook onto the chin of the Londoner in the fourth round before following up with a vicious barrage to end the fight in fantastic style.
