Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-12-12, pretty good finish between Kevin Mitchell and Ismael Barroso but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.Kevin Mitchell entered this fight with a pro record of 39-3-0 (29 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.19 lightweight in the world while his opponent, the undefeated Ismael Barroso, has a boxing record of 18-0-2 (17 KOs=94%) and he entered as the No.65 in the same weight class. Both boxers have fought twice in 2015: Mitchell has beat Daniel Estrada (=Mitchell vs Estrada) but then he has lost to Jorge Linares (=Mitchell vs Linares) while Barroso has won over Issouf Kinda and Ira Terry. Mitchell vs Barroso is valid for the interim WBA World lightweight title; undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Barroso can definitely bang. dangerous fighter.
Where has Barroso been? Guy is 32 & looks like a hell of a fighter. I see him beating Crolla. Disappointed for Mitchell. The guy has so much natural boxing talent, but is lacking in the chin department.
Nice fight, Mitchell always seems to lose when he is about to crack something big. I had a feeling this was going to happen ;)
