Seth Mitchell vs. Johnathan Banks

[IamInuit]

I like Seth. Banks could tip the cart here as he's pretty slick. I thought I read somewhere that he was going back to cruiser but these guys are really the same size and I think its an interesting style match-up.

i dont think its "hand picked"

i think its an interesting fight from the point of view of both fighters

a win for either would do a lot for them

Agreed. It's a fight that makes sense for Mitchell now and it gives Banks the opportunity to get onto the world scene with a win. I see Mitchell by TKO.

yep i see it going the same way

ive seen both fights 2 or 3 times each and it seems like mitchell will have the size and power and banks might have a bit more skill

I think Jonathan Banks is a very game under dog, I do not expect him to win but I think he'll test Seth Mitchell enough to get Mitchell ready for he next level. I wonder if Banks' training was hlped or hindered by being the trainer for Wladimir's defense vs Wach. This could be a very exciting fight becausde I expect there to be a stoppage but it's a matter of who gets hit hardest first and can't recover.

If Mitchell wins I expect he'll get in 1 more fight before a showdown with Wladimir. If Banks wins I expect a rematch vs Adamek will be on the cards, he did well the last time albeit in a losing effort. An 8th round stoppage with the scores at 66-67, 66-67, & 65-68 isn't horrible and with the added weight maybe he's better equipped for Tomaz.

Does Seth Mitchell remind anyone else of Derrick Jefferson or Clifford Etienne ?

I think he may go a bit further than those two, but not by a whole lot. Picked up the sport really late and proved to be a bit chinny against Chazz Witherspoon.

Also on that "2 days in the life of a fighter" business on HBO, Mitchell's manager admitted that Seth isn't passionate about boxing, but sees it as a means to an end for supporting his family.

Seth seems a nice guy, aggressive, athletic and getting better so best of luck to him, but I honestly do not see him ever troubling a Klitschko.

I like the way he works in the ring, but he's missing the "it" that a fighter needs to really be successful at the highest level. He has a good sporting head on his shoulders, he seems to know what he's doing out there well enough. On the whole I rate Wilder & Hanks better because those dudes are just boxers and they've been in the game longer.

If Banks fights smart, sets some traps he could pull out a win, even a stoppage.

I like to watch Seth fight and root for him. But that is a damning statement, considering this is a sport that requires passion in order to be able to overcome the adversities that will always surface at one time or another.
