It’s reported that Kevin Mitchell (32-1, 24 KO’s) will be the next opponent for World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight champion Brandon Rios (28-0-1, 21 KO’s) on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez undercard on November 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although it’s not a done deal yet, it’s been reported by number of sites that Rios will be defending against 26-year-old Mitchell. Michael Katsidis had been talked about as being the next opponent for Rios, which seemed like a really bad idea given that Katsidis has lost his last two fights.

Rios will destroy Mitchell both of these guys, but with Mitchell the destruction will likely be a lot faster.
