Exactly. IMO Mitchel's team should have tried to match him up with Jennings, Wilder, Adamek, names he would have a chance of defeating.
Why would they risk Seth losing to an unkown Jennings (which is very possible, in fact, probable. I would favor Jennings to beat Seth) or get KO'd by Wilder (Seths people must know its possible) for much less money or exposure then a fight with Arreola would be. Do people realize Seth takes a bad L almost every way he turns at this point. Only 'good' option really would have been Adamek. And maybe Scott. Other then that, why would they risk taking an L for less money against Jennings and Wilder, and risk losing it all, and pass on a decent fight like this. Makes no sense. A fight with Jennings or Wilder is still there after Arreola beats him. But if he loses to Jennings in his next fight, or gets KO'd by Wilder, his stock drops a lot farther then losing to Arreola at this point. Which is incredible really, considering Arreola has never done anything of note. Losing to Arreola in a 'big' fight, is better then losing to Jennings. And Seths people know this. This is a borderline cash out.
If find it weird people just always concentrate on a fighter's chin and use this as the sole basis of the fight prediction. "Ok this guys chin is ****, he will get knocked out". Boxing isn't that simple most of the time IMO, there are more variables at play. Arreola's best asset used to be his work-rate, but in the Stiverne fight we saw that isn't necessarily the case anymore. Mitchell has a way to win this, and IMO it would be countering Arreola and being quick on his feet. Maybe he can cut Arreola early on and impair his vision which could give him an advantage. Mitchell can't slug it out toe-to-toe with Arreoloa, he needs a good solid game plan and the discipline to follow through with it.
