I have to question anyone's sanity who is picking Mitchell. This isn't just about Mitchell's abysmal Glass Jaw. He just isn't as experienced and battle tested as Arreola. Mitchell was coddled and fed a bunch of passive fighters he hasn't even fought a true pressure fighter like Arreola yet. Not that Arreola is great but he damn sure is better than Glass Jawed Seth (Stiff) Mitchell. This one is going to be over early Mitchell has ZERO recuperative powers which makes it even worse. Arreola isn't going to sit back like Banks did and play patty cake all night.
I am rooting for Seth but you make logical points. However, Chris better be careful, Seth can bang too. If he runs in reckless it could very well be an early night for him as well.
I want to make it clear I have nothing against Mitchell seems like a good guy and is trying his best but he just doesn't have the experience that Arreola does.
I hear you. I didn't get the sense you were beiing disrespectful. I am just saying if Chris just applies pressure without being smart, he could run into prblems quickly. Seth, like most heavyweights, can end it with one punch. Furthermore, he is battle tested if you ask me. He just beat the guy (albeit not excitingly) who previously stopped him. And he was hurt in the Witherspoon fight but came back to stop him. If anything, Chris is more experienced, but he also has two 12rd beatings. But yeah based off experience, he should be the favorite.
i agree with all you guys... just don't see how seth can win... chris is more experienced and seth hasn't really impressed not to mention the shock loss
arreola is such a punk.maybe my pick is a little wishfull thinking, but i can't help it.mitchells a good dude and im pulling for him.everytime i post, i cringe a bit with my pick because that banks fight pops in my head.i just hope he goes into the fight with a do or die attitude? if he does he wins.he probaly gets hurt,i just hope he keeps it together. go mitchell
if Mitchell lands abomb early like stiverne, arreola will stop trying again. vitali and stiverne have greatly reduced arreolas punch resistance. that being said, Mitchell probably gets stopped.
Arreola will lose this. ^I would not be surprised if Mitchell catch Arreola with something big. Mitchell can punch like a mule. Wasnt Chriss supposed to annihilate Stiverne too, got schooled and almost knocked out?:rofl I know Mitchell and Stiverne are nothing alike but lets not get carried away with Arreolas "bad ass ****". He loses pretty much everytime he is supposed to win decent name. And I like Arreola even he is fat ass disgrace but he comes to fight everytime. Mitchell has nothing to lose, he will be focused.
I love this fight.:deal May the best man win like always but the fact it is that it is better for the sport if Mitchell wins this and wins this by knocking Arreola out, brutally.:deal Maybe this turn out to be a a good old slug festival. Arreola will come forward and pressure all night.
I thought it was pretty funny when Vitali made this guy cry He better not lose to Mitchell now after saying all that ****, or we're gonna get another post fight interview with him full of sniffles, moans and "mutha****as" atsch
I know, Stiverne has boxed loooong time. He had pretty good amateur career aswell. He beat guys like Price and Helenius at ams. He has good boxing fundamentals. But... Arreola has lost every time he has faced more than a gate keeper. This is interesting fight for several reasons, I guess that is all I am saying.:good
Arreola seems too durable and seasoned for the chinny Mitchell, but you never know in heavyweight boxing. Especially when the chinny fighter can punch! Should be a good fight
just watched arreola v stiverne, and i just cant see mitchell taking the pressure, i can see mitchell going down first round.
I watched some of Arreola-Adamek, and Banks-Mitchell II, and I think Arreola is going to win. Mitchell was VERY lucky that the bell rang when it did in the 3rd. Also, how is Mitchell going to deal with Arreola's aggression?
