    The first fight was a 2nd round KO for Banks, why are they fighting again?

    because HBO and Golden boy have invested too much money into Seth.

    it was quite the upset, and a nice twist. fun to watch too

    so a better question is, why not?

    And this will be the final test, rather than to continue pouring money into him to face "tomato cans" before finding out later on that this is as good as it gets for Seth. Better to find out now and toss him aside as far as an investment goes.

    From Seth and GBP's side, because they have to avenge this defeat, obviously.

    From Banks side, because there was a rematch clause, and GBP is enforcing it.

    Period.

    Not to mention, its a good matchup, big upset, fun fight, still a good fight for both guys, ect, ect, so like H said.... why not?

    I seriously think Banks will KO him again. Seth better bring everything he has for this fight!

    Was very shocked at the result of the first, a second likely makes Banks more money and victory just as easy.

    I'm good with the rematch. Banks was hurt himself. Mitchell is useless and will be finished the same way he should have been before. The guy has no skills and no chin. Bad combination.....

    i cant see anythin apart from Banks ko again, theres only 2 things Mitchell can do
    1. fight the same as last time and be aggressive but as soon as he gets caught clean once hes gone
    2. try and fight off the backfoot but i doubt he can do that he has no head movement and he will get caught because of it
    Mitchell is the bookies favourite Banks is easy money

    Is Wlad waiting for this fight to happen before he announces his next opponent? Maybe he has a deal for Mitchell prepared in the case he wins against Banks.

    Mitchell would be tailor made for Wlad.

    Well, it has been an exciting fight, both the fighters put in all they got, and Banks didn't seem so fresh to me... There is a possibility for Seth to win, expecially considering his dedication and seriousness.
    All he has to do, is to modify his fighplan, he has more than enough power to ko Banks; they are both two humble fighters, it would be nice to see!

    Got Banks again, by KO more than likely.
