What happened to Seth Mitchell?

He's got absolutely ZERO confidence in his punch resistance.

Deer in the headlights doesnt even hold up vs the likes of the Malik's Scotts and Jonathan Banks of the division.

He KO Chazz Witherspoon in a great fight, and stopped Timur Ibragimov in a huge step up.

But once Chazz rocked him, he turned into a kill or be killed fighter.

Not a good combination for someone with no faith in their ability to defend.

He's a small American version of David Price, without the amatuer pedigree and faithful following.

 

Hope he's happily retired, whilst I wasn't a "fan" of Mitchell he seemed like a good guy and I always wanted him to do good but evidently boxing isn't for him.

 

He's GENUINELY a NICE GUY, and even with his chin/defensive liabilities, he had the power and speed to compete in the top 20 for a decent career.
However, once GBP dropped him, he was promptly fed to Arreola and is likely having nightmare's ever time he hears a bell ring.

 

Trying to find the pieces of his jaw still.

 

If you ever wanted proof of fight fixing watch his two fights with Banks. .

 

I almost agree with you!

It looks very likely that Wlad wanted the payday to come to New York and shatter Mitchells jaw......but in hindsight, the winner of Banks v Mitchell 1 was supposed to fight Wlad, and Banks had no idea that Mitchell was so fragile.
When Mitchell Banks 2 was made, it was K2s hope, and the WBOs as well, that the first fight was a fluke, and that Mitchells supreme punching power and speed would return, and he'd bomb Banks out in a couple of rds.
In rds 5/6/7, it appears that Banks intentionally throws the fight soas to forgo his EARNED title fight vs his boss.

In such a fight, Banks would have likely earned in the neighborhood of 700K, but opted to give Seth the W, then returning as Wlads trainer earning himself nearly 1 million as Wlads trainer for the Pulev fight.

Since then, Banks has gone on to lose badly to a roided to the gills Tarver, but has earned in the neighborhood of 5 mil coaching the top 5 ATG Wladimir Klitschko.

 

I believe Golden Boy were in on the fix too. Its why i believe Lara was paid to throw the fight against Canelo. They had already tried to stitch him up by making him fight a Light Heavy version of Gulo..
I watched Lara vs Canela closely and it looked like he was missing punches purposely . Lara is very accurate. He don't miss.

 

Lara was taking a dozen shots a rd to his nuts and his hips for the first 8 rds.
Sure, he was sweeping the fight in the objective scorers and fans eyes, but the judges have high insirance premiums to pay on their Aston Martins and their Jags, and Lara's lowly promoters werent going to be throwing no extra work their way...wink wink winnk

 

I heard he is making a rap cd with Martin....mc Mitchell is in da house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He got glassed by Arreola. Once you get knocked out by Chris you pretty much can retire. You hit a low point.

 

Tell Molina! he,s getting paid very well for his next fight!

 

Feed him a few bums and set up a fight with Trey Morrison down the line... Who wouldn't watch that?

 

I remember quite a few American boxing fans really hyping old Seth, quite a few really bought in to him.

Don't get me wrong us British fans have had more than our fair share of being duped by hype but I found it very funny at the time when Seth was wiped out and the complete silence from the same people who were hyping him before.
