    Default Seth 'Mayhem' Mitchell

    So Seth got a bit of a lesson taught to him the other night and we learned that his chin isn't all that great. What did you guys think about the fight? What do you expect out of him in the future? What does he need to work on? And how far do you see him going?

    Let's be honest with ourselves. We, as American boxing fans, are dying for a "Great American Hope," in the spirit of the "Great White Hope" of the past. The only difference is that we've moved passed the racial aspect of it. How did a fight like Mitchell v. Witherspoon get on HBO? Mitchell is a fun fighter to watch, but he's not even in the top ten of the division. Adamek versus Chambers is two top ten heavyweights and they're not making HBO $ in their fight.

    As much as Al Haymon pushes him, Mitchell isn't going to beat a Klitschko, unless they slip something aweful. I like Mitchell. He seems a class act too.

    Frankly, Witherspoon isn't even known as a puncher. Even though he is 29, Mitchell should take some time to hone his skills. He seems pretty 1 dimensional. Am I wrong?

    Fun tv friendly guy needing alot of polish. I kept thinking Derrick Jefferson or Clifford etienne right now. Love the way he focused on body to turn it and wasn't ashamed to clinch when out on his feet. I really thought that fight was over via wave off in 1st.

    Mitchell could get a title fight, but he'll never win one.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    It was nice to see him get tested and have a little of his aura challenged, but he will have to polish up his skills and perhaps get a new trainer because his defense is lacking and there are some finer points of boxing he could use help on. I do like the heart he showed, I like he still had power, but I agree he's not going to win a title from a Klitschko brother.....but who the hell is


    I do think he brings some excitement back to the division, it was a fun fight to watch. Witherspoon looked decent for a time as well and it wasn't because Mitchell is bad, it's because as they said Chazz finally had a proper training camp.

    While Chazz Witherspoon might not be thought of as a big hitter, he's certainly not lacking in the power division. After all, all of Witherspoon's wins since 2008 have been stoppage victories. A sixty-six percent KO rate isn't too shabby either.

    Not that I'm some boxrec scholar. Because of course, boxrec doesn't show you everything about a fighter. But Chazz Witherspoon is 6'4" and weighs 230 lbs. And watching from the slow motion of the video, I would definitely testify that those punches that rocked Mitchell were indeed good power shots. Regardless of what he's considered as in the ranks of punching power.

    Either way, Mitchell recovered beautifully. I think we're being critical of the guy's mistakes in the ring. He did an excellent job, and stopped a good, well-trained fighter inside of three rounds.

    It was a neat fight to watch. When Witherspoon came out with the high guard and Mitchell started sticking the solid left to the midsection, I knew that Mitchell was going to end up taking him out. I doubted that original judgement after Witherspoon started hurting Seth, but in the end, it ended about right.

    I think Witherspoon could be a lot better if he had a better stance. The high guard with the body open is simply all wrong for when you're fighting a smaller guy that likes to bang. The philly with the stick, move, and counter would have served him wonderfully in this fight. Too bad.

    Chris Arreola is the best American Heavyweight. I don't think Mitchell wants to try him any time soon either.

    Agree Mitchell is a nice guy though and he does bring it, action fighter.

    I read somewhere that Michael Grant may be next for Mitchell. That'd be a good fight for him. Test him for sure.

    Jameel McCline is on the comeback trail too, he also would be a good test.
