Comments Thread For: Seth Mitchell Rocked, But Stops Witherspoon in Three

[chiguy91]

He will returning june 20 in washington and could face micheal grant.

where did you hear this? in the post fight interview, he gave a time frame that was after summer i think...

stop trying to rush Mitchell, he still has a LONG WAY TO GO

I think Bryant Jennings would box circles around Mitchell Right Now, he is a much more WELL ROUNDED FIGHTER

Mitchell defense needs A LOT OF WORK, also no type of jab or anything, he is all Power Shot

Not Hating because I LIKE THE GUY...but if he wants to go far he has to become much more...WELL ROUNDED! Sure you can match him up correctly with the right fighters so he can look good, but eventually he is going to run into that "BOXER" and that Boxer is going to make him look very bad and expose all his weaknesses...it was a very exciting fight though

great post, and yeah, mitchell def needs work. he is still improving, this fight really was what he needed to perhaps improve. witherspoon's rights landed with ease, mitchell needs to learn to keep his left hand close. the jab is also something basic mitchell lacks, but you already stated that. right now he truly is relying on power, i hope he is able to watch a replay of this fight and drastically improve. i also agree with the rushing thing, he or his people shouldn't even have klitschkos on their mind at all until they improve and beat some more solid opposition. just screencapped this, good bodywork by mitchell but he needs to work on that defense. that left side man...

Im a bit disapointed about about Mitchell even though he won. It`s now clear that he still has a long way to go....especially defence has to get better!! Its also obvious that his chin is by far not as good as Arreolas for example. When you have a bad defense AND a bad chin, chances are verry high you never be one of the best.

Whiterspoon is a powerful boxer. But man do Seth Mitchell lack foot and head movement???

It's not like Seth knew what to do, Witherspoon totally threw the game plan out the window. Plan was working perfect..jab, jab, jab, and set him up for a right hand. From round 2 on his whole plan went out the window. That was really dumb

Everybody has a plan until they get hit with a big shot. It not only affects you physically but psychologically as well.

You're right, Seth has alot of work to do in terms of improving his defense and that lazy jab, if not his boxing career as a top contender will be short lived.

What a fight! I don't see Mitchell making it at the very top level but sign me up to watch him fight any time.
After he got rocked he showed a lot of good stuff. The jab got better as the fight went on and his combinations looked both fast and powerful. Unbelievable heart too.

Loved how the ref was going to give Chaz a standing 8 count. Pretty rare nowadays.

the funny thing was the no-standing 8 count rule was in effect i believe...

defence suspect yes but bad chin? he took a huge right hand from a powerful puncher. many HW's would have been dropped by that. wlad wouldn't have got up. witherspoon can crack & is 240lbs. his conditioning & solid chin is what kept him off the mat. mitchell can take a punch & i don't get you guys who say he has a weak chin...lol! watch the replay chazz almost took his head off with that clean right. he got all of him with it.

Sorry, he will never be there. There is nothing special about him. Jennings would own him. He is one of the most ponderous heavyweights I have seen. If fighting Witherspoon is a "rush", he is in a lot of trouble. Imagine if Witherspoon had heavier fists, it would have been lights out.

yes he needs work but witherspoon has solid power & caught him flush with a right. i got like 15 witherspoon fights & he can crack but he is C+ gatekeeper at best. he'll beat the guys he has too but when he steps up he will get beat. he showed good poise in hanging on when hurt & that right he took would have floored many HW's. he really has only beat ibragimov & witherspoon. those are 2 good wins & neither lasted past 3 rounds with him. he has power & throws punches in combinations to the body & head. he needs to work on his jab though.

Sorry i didnt knew that Witherspoon is such an dangerous monster-puncher....
After tonights fight im 100% sure a skilled talented boxer, someone like Odlanier Solis would outbox and proably stop Mitchell at this point. Hell i think even Arreola could beat Mitchell!! But i like mitchell and hoe he improves.
