Seth mitchell, as you are about to find out with efe, was a good athlete matched well. He needed to think about everything before doing it which doesnt work when you are hurt against guys in the top 20
I still think Efe has untapped potential. Don't see that similarity.
I agree ... Ajagba ex soccer player, but has armature background, while Mitchell ex footballer never had any armature experience.
Mitchell was 31 Years old already when fought Arreolla, and never had physical tools like Ajagba at 26 who is 5 inch taller and nearly 9 inch longer reach. History has proven larger heavyweight has longer life span then smaller heavyweights
because they bloom later.
Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell fights were quite enjoyable. He overachieved. Scoring victories over Johnathan Banks, Timur Ibragimov, Chazz Witherspoon and a host of division gatekeepers + tough journeyman (ex; Taurus Sykes, Zach Page, Derek Bryant, Evans Quinn) is very impressive with the very limited experience that Michell entered the pro boxing game in.

I think You have followed him closely. Jonathan Banks fight should served him as warning signal to
to take Arreolla that early ,, at 31 he was going fast pace, but he wasn't fully matured and experienced
yet. He had to learn defense technique against heavy punchers like Arreolla and maybe taller fighters
which he never faced. Mitchell was to blame for focused on his financial success too much.

Jared anderson is the new seth mitchell
He might not ultimately go far, but he's already shown more ability than Seth Mitchell ever did. Seth Mitchell had good power with the overhand right, but little else.

That Banks rematch still really pisses me off. One of the most blatant fixes ever.
No, if it was never fixed ... only Wlad haters said that because needed protect him as a future opponent.
If that was the case, Mitchell wouldn't be stupid to risk fighting arreolla so early and getting his ass kicked like that.
It seemed like an obvious fix to me. Banks gets Mitchell into the same kinda trouble where he stopped him in the 1st bout, and obviously takes his foot off the gas, and never attempts to land a meaningful shot again for the rest of the fight.
Maybe it wasn't a fix. Maybe Banks was just a coward, and didn't want to go any further with his career, but he clearly didn't give his best effort, and it was obvious.

The rematch is banks in a nutshell. The 1st fight was the anomaly

That's why Banks never amounted to anything I guess. I wouldn't even care to have a guy who can't or won't pull the trigger as a coach. How can you trust his judgment on giving you advice when he couldn't see a win waiting to happen right in front of him?
