Chris Arreola Has Mind Set on Revenge and Titles
By Luis Sandoval - For the second time in a month’s span, a Heavyweight bout hosted at the Fantasy Springs Casino ended in the very first round as Chris Arreola (35-3, 31KOs) put himself back in the win column with a quick and vicious victory over Seth Mitchell (26-2-1, 19KOs). It only took 2 minutes and 26 seconds for Arreola to make good on his promise that he would knock Mitchell out as he has now positioned himself to land a big fight again. In the week leading up to the bout, both fighters had said their contest would not go the distance and would end early. They were both correct but it was Arreola who inflicted the damaging blows while Mitchell was the one on the receiving end. Ironically it was Mitchell who would strike first in the fight as he hit Arreola with a quick one-two punch in the opening seconds. Arreola brushed off the combination and began hounding Mitchell around the ring looking to land his own attack. The first right hand Arreola threw that connected immediately discombobulated Mitchell as his legs turned to jelly and he held on for dear life. Arreola did his best to try to free himself from the clinch and continue his attack but Mitchell held on tight as Arreola would throw Mitchell to the floor to finally free himself. It wasn’t a knockdown by any means but it wouldn’t be the last time Mitchell would end up on the canvas.

BScene Staff Predictions: Arreola vs. Mitchell Clash
No matter how meager the division is in present state, the old mantra holds true – anytime you have a chance to make a good heavyweight matchup, you go ahead and do it. That leads us to Chris Arreola and Seth Mitchell squaring off tonight at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. The Showtime-televised headliner pits two heavyweights in need of a big win to return to relevance in what still remains a wide open division beyond the top two spots. Mitchell reversed the lone loss of his career, overcoming a knockout at the hands of Johnathon Banks to soundly outpoint the Detroit-based boxer this past June. Yet the win hardly sat well with boxing fans, who were utterly bored with the lack of action and who remain unconvinced that the former college football linebacker has what it takes to make a run in the heavyweight sweepstakes.
