    Seth is a nice guy but I thought he looked awful last night. He was really reaching in with the right hand and was off balance, his defence was terrible he was swinging punches from way out. He needs to think where he is going from here. He needs massive amount of work on defence and technique. He also lacked any head movement and was static. I like Seth and thought he might be able to work his way to a title shot, but I don't think he can challange anyone in the top 10 after that performance.

    Credit to Banks though he made Seth look bad.

    I agree that Bryant Jennings is probably the best American prospect, I could see him competing against the top 20 (he has already beaten a former title holder) because he has a good defence and excellent reach. Maybe HBO should have picked up Jennings rather than Mitchell.

      Mitchell is simply not a natural fighter. Nothing fluid about him at all. And chinny. Not sure what the hype was about. Bring back The Quiet Man - the last great American heavyweight.

          Yeah I thought the same watching the fight, he didn't look natural at all in there. I admit to liking Seth because he is exciting but there is no way he will make it to the top.

          That's the one thing I like about Jennings he looks like a more natural fighter.

            At this point, the only thing we can do with regards to the heavyweights is sit back and see how long Wladimir can reign for. Dude could probably make 40 defenses of his crown if he put his mind to it.

              I have come to like Wlad although he can be a bit dull. I just want to see a good fighter come up who can give him a good fun fight.

                How can you not like him? He won me over with his battle against Peter. Someone will give him a good scrap in the near future. It just probably won't be an American.

                  Yeah I like Wlad now I didn't used to though. I want to see Wlad against Pulev next.

                      This fight looked like something I'd see outside of my school every day, two guys swinging wildly. It was hilarious!!

                      The European heavyweights have nothing to fear.
