Really poor show from Mitchell, standing in front of Katsidis with your back to the ropes is just suicide.
As for Khan I think they've reached that point in his career where they don't have any have any option but to fight legit opponents (Bradley/Maidana/Alexander). To give credit to Khan he sounds up for it too, and unlike Warren, Goldenboy aren't over protective of their fighters. *cough*Calzaghe*cough*
