I hope Jonathan Banks can pull off the upset.

But since Mitchell is the HBO house fighter and managed by Al Haymon, there could be an early stoppage by the referee and if it goes to the cards, Mitchell will be favored like Williams was against Lara.

Seth, good guy but honestly he's one of the weakest heavies right now, don't understand any of the attention he's getting.

I guess Seth will just have to knock out Banks. To put all your excuses to rest.

I agree, Haymon is the new Don King, he's poison.

this would not be an upset. banks is a fringe contender & just vacated the NABF title recently. he's beat a couple decent journeymen at HW. mitchell has the edge but banks also works with the klitschko's on a consistant basis so he's gotten good sparring. mitchell has big power & he's a finisher so there won't be an early stoppage. this is a pretty good matchup but can banks take mitchell's power combinations? banks can crack too so if he catches mitchell like chazz witherspoon did, can he finish him off? this is an intriguing matchup.

wins over chazz witherspoon & timur ibragimov are solid wins. those guys are C+ level fighters. banks is also a C+ level fringe contender. he is being brought along nicely. banks has a draw with gavern & a good knockout over travis walker. i'd give mitchell the edge on level of competition at HW(banks lost to adamek at CW)but it's a good fight for both. this will position one of them for a possible title shot.
