I had an idea that he could fight Povetkin for the belt until I checked his record: Seht's never gone past 6 rounds - and rarely even that long. Untill he knows he can fight for at least 10 rounds at close to his top level, he better stay away from any of the top 10 guys
not too shabby a fight, if Chazz can stay on his feet it could be good learning curve for Mitchell vs a tricky guy with skills who doesn't pose too much of a threat. only problem is Chazz can be bombed out and what does Mitchell like do? Start fast...... I predict an early KO. hopefully next he steps it up another level vs someone like Adamek/Arreola next but Witherspoons no bum so it's acceptable, he's proly as good as Mormeck at heavy and Mormecks fighting for a title.
Canny good fight, IF Seth steps his comp up next time. Mitchell should fight Del Boyo Gsora, Mikey Perez, Tacobell Arreola. :!: Or Adamek, or Helenius, or Thompson. :bbb
Witherspoon is an ok opponent, I'd say he's on par with Ibragimov, and overall a reasonable fight for Mitchell at this time. I would have prefered him to take a slight step up from Ibragimov and meet someone slightly better than Witherspoon but its not a bad fight. I would have liked to seen a fight with a little more excitement to it to open the Dawson-Hopkins card since that fight probably doesn't deliver any, but I guess not. Mitchell might fight at the end of June in D.C and I really hope that fight sees him looking to face a top 10-15 guy. I've been wanting to see a Mitchell-Arreola fight for over a year now but I'm not betting on it happening.
IMO, Witherspoon is a better fighter than people think. He's only lost twice and one was a DQ. A good test for Mitchell. The thing that hurts Chazz is hes not been very active....
