Whats up with all this 'They should have gotten someone else' for Seth. You guys realize this is what heavyweight boxing is about, ya? Fans finally getting matchups that should be happening and people are saying the fight shouldn't be happening because Seth will lose atsch
This will be a nice rumble. Cris has the far better chin, Mitchell shows up in far better shape. If it is 5 rounds or less, it's a Cris KO. If it hits the 6th, I say Mitchell takes it down the stretch.
I hope Seth Mitchell wins, I think there's a good chance he does too. He's much more disciplined than Arreola, and a much more likeable guy. I hope he puts Arreola out cold, I really do. But I fear that the "new" Seth Mitchell might try to box and get overwhelmed by Arreola. Seth should go out like he has a chip on his shoulder and try to hurt Arreola in the way Bermane did.
youre right mate it is what its all about...but i just cant help but think "seth what are you doing" when seeing this fight has been made..i mean he just struggled with banks..and now hes going to go into the ring with arreolla who i know isnt the greatest in the world and is very beatable but mitchells punch resistance is a huge concern for him and he needs to work on his defence before stepping in with the big hitters.
I hear you man, but really what else is there. Obviously disregarding Wlad, Vitali, and Haye, who are the 'elites' so to speak. Lets look at the top contenders. Fury? Thompson? Chisora? Pulev? Stiverne? Wilder? Scott and Adamek are about the only 'contenders' I could see that wouldn't be dangerous for Seth. But Seth would be at a huge risk of being made to look stupid in there if Scott is able to outbox him. The one fight that GBP should have gotten for Seth, would have been Adamek. That's really the only fight I can see that would have been the 'right move' at this point. But really, for the most part as much as people **** on the division, any contender is going to be a dangerous fight for Seth, and hes 31 years old already with 28 fights, the time is now to start marching forward, ya I suppose he could have had a couple more fights trying to raise his proficiency up a bit, but if he cant beat Arreola now, to what end? Truth is, if he cant beat Arreola (a guy whose never been able to win when he steps up), then hes got no chance in the division anyways. This is a great fight. Its a chance for Arreola to actually beat a contender for once, and for Seth its do or die time. Good fight.
Victor Ortiz is gonna fight a few more times to just promote his movie Career He is coming out in Expendables 3
Mitchell doesn't the chin, boxing skills or defense that Stiverne has. theres really no way he can win this fight. Arreola will eventually catch him with something hard and knock him out, bad matchup for Mitchell.
Mitchell better hope Arreola backs out! He was lucky that Banks broke both his hands in that shady looking fight! lol
I know he's not a great actor, but I hope he's not the first bad guy to die. I'm assuming he's going to be a bad guy.
