Could go either way, I think Mitchell stops him this time. It was clear that Mitchells power was bothering Banks and he was troubled couple of times. He was much stronger and more physical than Banks. On the other hand Banks is still the better boxer and might counter Mitchell once again. Who lands first wins the fight. IF Mitchell have learned something and can avoid those counters he will walk trough Banks as he was doing in the first round.
The first round definitely showed that Mitchell's power and strength were huge assets working in his favor. The question in the rematch is, can he make the adjustments to use those advantages to the fullest against the more experienced and savvy boxer (Banks). It's fascinating. If Mitchell manages to win, a 3rd fight would be nice to see.
Mitchell is stiff and has no skill and has a Glass Jaw. Banks while not anything special himself has been Boxing a long time and has the pedigree that Mitchell simply can't attain. Banks can blast Mitchell out early by going right at that Glass Jaw or he can box and take Mitchell rounds and drown him because his stamina is not great either. I don't like the term 'exposed' but Banks really exposed Mitchell in their first fight it showed how limited and unskilled Mitchell really is.
Banks didn't even train for him the first time. No chin Mitchel goes down again. Only chance if they pay Banks to lay down.
Yes, but I think we can both agreee that Mitchell's chin is absolutely horrid when compared to his opponent's, which has actually been pretty solid since moving up to HW.
You guys are acting like Banks is some glass-jawed pretty boy who wobbles whenever a punch lands. He's been with Kronk since his early teen years and has sparred with some BIG punchers. Banks is an instinctive counterpuncher who is hardwired to stand his ground and return fire WHENEVER THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF.
I don't see it going the distance either way and favored Banks to pull off the upset the first time. This is a big test for Mitchell. Bouncing back and avenging an early KO loss to a more experienced pugilist is no easy feat.
Mitchel has no defense. And his offense is very limited. Especially against some one with experience / skills.
:smoke Mitchell gets countered like in the first fight and can't recover... Banks should call out Deontay Wilder after he disposes of Mitchell... then go after Jennings once he's exposed Wilder as a Glass Jawed pretender!! :yep
