Mitchell

With just a little over one week to go before they square-off at The Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, November 19, 'Pretty Boy' Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Sharmba Mitchell both appear to be confident and prepared as they put the finishing touches on their respective training camps. Neither seems anxious to provide locker room bulletin board reading material for the other, opting instead to do their talking inside the ring. "My preparation is well on schedule," Mayweather, regarded as the best 'pound for pound' boxer in the world today, reported from his training camp in Las Vegas where he also resides. "I have had excellent sparring and I am not taking Mitchell for granted. I am looking forward to coming to Portland. I will put on a good show for the people of Portland and my fans around the world." As for predictions, Mayweather warned, "Mitchell will not go the distance."
