Comments Thread For: Seth Mitchell on Golden Boy/HBO, Banks Rematch, Broner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

He was one of just four remaining active Golden Boy fighters that still were appearing on HBO. But now the relationship is over between network and promoter, and it seems likely that Seth Mitchell’s rematch with Johnathon Banks — which was once to have taken place in February on HBO — will instead be on Showtime.

Banks-Mitchell 2 was postponed from February after Banks broke his thumb while sparring. It was thought that the bout would be rescheduled for the May 18 card featuring Lamont Peterson vs. Lucas Matthysse, but Banks is still recovering from the injury, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN.com.

Mitchell is still training as if the rematch will happen, potentially in June. He still wants the bout; after all, Banks stopped Mitchell last November, giving the 30-year-old heavyweight his first pro loss.

He may well have been; but poor matchmaking was his downfall. Rather than progressing slowly, his team/promoters took him from bums to decent opposition. No middle ground.

First things first. I just don't see him getting past Banks in the rematch. So all this other talk is meaningless really. Until he tightens up some things in his game, he's bound for club fighter status.
