Comments Thread For: Mitchell Admits He Was Rocked, Banks Wants a Trilogy

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

or maybe he had an injury? why does it always have to be some conspiracy in boxing first and the reasonable answer second

what i saw was a banks who was just trying to bank on one big counter shot the whole night thats the only way he could get to mitchell. and mitchell wasnt having it he was like f it i wouldnt trade, he did exactly what he should have tho it wasnt exciting. mitchell cant afford to make many mistakes or hes toast lol

at the very least, they should withhold Banks' purse until he is brought in to explain what was going on with him in that fight -- his manager and trainer also -- there needs to be some semblance of accountability for what appeared to be a fixed fight....

banks sucks... cant blame mitchell for playin it safe.

Fixed!

NOW this fight was fixed, never want to see banks again, gettin bought like that, and mitchell carries legit, authentic china glass, so he's not gonna go anywhere

both guys ***in ******. Arreola would destroy both of them.

Banks probably earned some good cash to lose the fight.

If Banks took his foot off the pedal so Mitchell would win and they could set up a 3rd fight, that is some dirty ****.

I thought the fight was obviously fixed. Apparently everyone else saw the same thing as me. Don King thinks Al Haymon is a criminal.

We witnessed a fixed fight. I feel sorry for all of the fans that paid for that and didn't know what they were watching.

I just doubt the credibility of this fight
the bitter truth is Banks could have stopped him whenever he wanted and I really mean it.... but he was holding back the whole fight... I wouldn't be surprised if this fight was rigged to go Full distance in Mitchells Favour.

*Hint* Al-Gaymon

Banks lost on Purpose last night, after he rocked Mitchell early in the fight, he hardly threw another punch in the rest of the fight. One of the weirdest fights i have ever seen.

Mitchell has a glass chin, its already been proved and would have been shattered again last night if Banks would of actually threw punches.

maybe he Broke his hand them i don't know, all i know is that after 3 or 4 rounds Banks stopped trying against a guy he knows is carrying glass, makes little to no sense.

And the "knockdown" proved the fix was in......

or maybe he had an injury? why does it always have to be some conspiracy in boxing first and the reasonable answer second

Because it WAS FIXED......

The crowd would start booing the fight even before the bell rang if there was another rematch.

Mitchell/Banks - Boxing Fans Lose Again

The only way I'll believe this fight was legit is if I see an x-ray of a broken Banks right hand. This punch he hurt Mitchell with 5-6 times over the course of their first 5 rounds together (including the first fight). Why stop throwing it? Even Banks' body language suggested he could do more but simply didn't want to. The question is......why?

First, he trains Wlad. K. If he beats Mitchell he becomes the front-runner for a Klitschko fight. Why fight the #1 heavyweight in the world when you're his trainer? Especially when you can possibly double or triple up by simply losing. Now, who would convince Banks and why?

Klitschko can easily beat Mitchell. Why fight Banks? Especially when he's your friend, your trainer, sparred with you for years, and knows how to beat you. Plus, sadly enough, Mitchell is more marketable than Banks. Why not give Klitschko a more lucritive (yet easier) fight? You can guarantee Al Haymon, Banks and Klitschko's promoter, and Banks himself, ALL realized this. Banks lays down, takes the extra dinero, and now we're back to thinking Mitchell is the next big heavyweight to challenge for the Klitschko throne. Now we have Klitschko/Mitchell with Banks training Klitschko. That's (as Broner says) "EASY MONEY".
