Mitchell outpoints Tackie!
"In a battle of jr welterweight contenders, Sharmba Mitchell outboxed a rusty looking Ben Tackie over twelve rounds Saturday night at Reno. Mitchell sustained a cut over his left eye from an unintentional headbutt, but put on an impressive performance. Tackie was on the deck in round eleven for the first time in his career after receiving a punishing straight left hand from the former WBA champion. Judges scored the bout and cruised to a lopsided 118-109, 119-108, 119-108 victory. With the win Mitchell (52-3)became the IBF #1 contender to world champion Kostya Tszyu.
With all his recent talk about finishing up Kostya where he left off he is now the number contender. Who do you guys think will win if they fight?
