.... I was really excited for this!

I hope Golden Boy can bring over Lara in the under card. Otherwise, Khan vs Garcia is a pretty meh by itself.

Hopefully HBO will do the right thing and still have Jonathan Banks on the July 14th card, since it was promised to him.

They could replace Mitchell with another Heymon-managed boxer, Chris Arreola.

But of course they won't do it.

Oh no!

shazbot!

Damnit... are DC fighters cursed or something? Gary Russell Jr bouts are always cancelled cause the main event falls apart or cancelled due to injuries and now Seth Mitchell boooo!

Another fight bites the dust.

damn, i was looking forward to this as well. i like the idea of it being postponed rather than cancelled. hope it works out and it could happen later in the year.

was lara/hearns on showtime cause hbo rejected it or just cause gbp wanted it there? if lara was to replace mitchell i could see hbo only accepting a competitive fight for lara. i really don't think anyone at 154 would step up to lara right now. haha, where's martirosyan when you need him?...

oh, didn't know that. won't even check boxrec but let me guess, another subpar opponent? if it is, man he is the prime example of undefeated records being overrated.
