Chris Arreola versus Seth Mitchell Heavyweight Bout
- Fought for the WBC International and WBO NABO Heavyweight title belts held by Mitchell
- In an outcome experts predicted, hard punching Chris Arreola exposed Golden Boy's overhyped overprotected football player turned boxer Seth Mitchell, dropping him in the first round, then beating him senseless with pinpoint overhand right power shots to the head which left Mitchell helpless along the ropes, prompting referee Jack Reiss to stand in front of Mitchell looking at Arreola to protect Mitchell's life.
- Previously Mitchell was exposed in his first bout with Johnathon Banks as being unable to either hold or take a punch in a lopsided round and a half. Mitchell somehow won a 12 round rematch with Banks in a bout which never looked legit or 'on the level' to boxing experts.
"I got caught. I'm very disappointed. My heart hurts right now. I've got to go back to the drawing board," said Mitchell after the bout, but it was far worse than that. Arreola, supposedly in a 'do or die fight', felt Mitchell out quickly like an experienced Archie Moore and knew right away Mitchell could neither box nor take a punch from a world class fighter, and did not prolong Mitchell and the telecast's agony for very long.
