Great news... looking even more forward to this now.

Whoooo. Make it a smart step up or at least a step sideways. Can't be moving backwards and ruining his momentum.

Cool although I think Seth should get in a fight between that date even if its against someone not that great, he needs to stay busy.

Hope it's a reasonable step up. I am NOT sold on Seth Mitchell.

Although he and Perez are the most exciting up and coming HW's.

He should fight Deontay Wilder

[Hougigo]

I'm hoping for another fight before the main event like Linares/Demarco

He should fight Deontay Wilder

I actually do think Wilder will turn out to be better than Mitchell. Seth Mitchell seems too slow and sloppy at times to really be a contender with Vitali, Wlad, or Povetkin.

Perez and Wilder, along with Mitchell IF he improves, are probably the more exciting HW's coming up. I can't till Tyson Fury is beaten down.

Wilder seems more technically sound, I think he packs a pucnh given the sample we've seen of him, and he ACTUALLY looks like a really in shape American HW, haha.

I hope he gets a good opponent. I think someone like Michael Grant would be a good step up for him. And it'd be good to see how he deals with a tall, durable opponent.

HBO's schedule has competitive matchups set so far for 2012; it would be good to see it hold Seth Mitchell's fight to that standard. Seth Mitchell vs Stiverne/Arreola/Adamek are all intriguing, competitive, action fights.
