    I dont totally hate this fight. it's an accomplishment if mitchell can get banks out of there, I guess.

    Banks is a very decent fighter. I think will be a decent test for Mitchell

    Banks is a blown up cruiserweight. This won't last long Seth needs rounds.
    He needs to go in with Dominick Guinn next

    i agree good fight activity is important/ seth mitchll wont be to much down the road/ but a fight with jonathan banks is a good grooming fight.

    Yeah, I like it, myself. I think it's just the thing for him. Neither throwing him to the wolves (Klitschkos) nor giving him someone that can't get him some good pro rounds-in theory.

    NABF heavyweight champion for a couple years now, with a win over Walker. It's not really fair to label him as just a blown up cruiserweight.

    Don't count Banks out here. I think he could win.... and by stoppage.

    Mitchell hasn't shown that he's impervious to being hit in any way. He's an exciting and entertaining fighter to watch, but this fight should be explosive, win or lose.

    It's definitely a step up in competition. But not quite the step up many would like to see from America's supposed next big thing.

    Good fight.

    Banks has only lost to Adamek who is an A class fighter.

    Mitchell hasn't proven ****. Just that his chin is glass. Banks has the power to break that glass.

    I'm taking Johnathan Banks here by K.O. Which will send Mitchell back crying to the CFL.

    He himself has said repeatedly he is not yet ready for the Klits. He seems pretty grounded and realistic. I'd have personally preferred to have seen Seth in there with Chauncy, but I'm admittedly biased as Chauncy is our co-host on OTR. That said, given he didn't look Welliver's direction, I don't have any real problem with Banks as his next opponent. I would, however, still like to see Chauncy get an opportunity against someone like Mitchell on a televised card.

    Banks is more accomplished and better than Chauncy

    Banks is much better than Chauncy Welliver, FFS. A little disapointed with this though, I was hoping for Ruslan Chagaev.

    idk why but i like watching mitchell fight.. no matter who he fights.. he's entertaining so ill watch any fight

    he's almost ready to face top heavyweights... i'd like to see him vs arreola next year

    i think arreola would win but i'd be rooting for mitchell
