not sure. I was working with him when he was in LA and will work again fight week in NY I thought it was being used by banks..KRONK.... but not open like it used to be
Mitchell is not a boxer and I think the result will be very similar to the first fight. I don´t think Mitchell has gone past the 6th round in a fight, so Banks just has to take him to deep waters, wait for that muscle man to gas and stop him again.
Mitchell's best chance is to work the body, stay disciplined about opening up, and really put his weight on Banks in the clinches (and there will be clinches, it's part of Banks inside strategy) to wear him down. We'll see if he can do those things and avoid opening up too much when he gets aggressive. He's got the work ethic to have fixed that, but fighting instincts can often betray the plan a fighter develops during training camp.
Have to pick Banks by KO. He was really smart to wait for the opportunity to throw bombs and get Mitchell out quickly. I don't see why this fight would be any different. I give Mitchell a slight chance, perhaps more than the majority, but I'd be pretty surprised if he managed to reverse the outcome. Good fight.
Mitchell has a puncher's chance, but Banks can outbox him all night. However, the network wants Mitchell to win, so watch out for.................
I think Banks stops him again, although it may perhaps take a bit longer for him to find the openings. Then again, maybe not. I honestly don't see this bout boding well for Mitchell.
I addressed this topic when the rematch was initially announced months ago. I just don't see how Mitchell can improve his punch resistance and defense enough(in so little time) to beat Banks without juicing and employing some sort of hit and hold strategy the entire fight. This is the only way Seth can win the fight, IMO. Banks can obviously counter this by pushing off(technically illegal) while Mitchell is trying to clinch and create punching room. It really just depends on how the fight progresses and who the ref is. Will Mitchell be smart and try to win a really ugly fight or will he be stupid and surely lose again by trying to outbox or pressure someone who's head and shoulders better than he is... technically and mentally?
CHEF tried to tell y'all the first time what was up. Nobody really listened to his warnings though. The fact that Banks seems to have had a good camp implies that this will be a tough one for Mitchell to avenge. EDIT: Though I will say this: It's not like Mitchell can't hurt Banks. He can definitely do that, as neither guy has a noteworthy chin.
Someones getting stopped again. Likely Mitchell, but Banks can get kayoed, make no mistake about that.
