Mitchell looked good in the opening round using his jab and even hurt Banks with a big right hand. But then in the second round Mitchell went for a body shot, but Banks countered with a right hand of his own and from there let his hands go knocking Mitchell down three times.

Image: Broner beats DeMarco; Banks destroys MitchellBy Eric Thomas: WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-3-1, 21 KO’s) took a lot of heavy punishment in losing his title to lightweight newcomer Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) on Saturday night in a mostly one-sided fight on HBO at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA. DeMarco started off well but then fell apart under the power and the deadly accuracy of the 23-year-old Broner.

In the 8th, DeMarco took a knee when he was hit with a hard left hand from Broner that had a lot of power on it. By then DeMarco had already had about enough, as his face was cut and badly swollen from Broner’s shots.

McKenna (McJack): Undefeated American heavyweight Seth Mitchell (25-0, 19 KO’s) is likely to overwhelm his smaller less powerful opponent Johnathon Banks (28-1, 18 KO’s) when they square off tonight at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Mitchell weighed in at 242 pounds compared to Banks 218.5 pounds. The match will be carried by HBO at 10 pm ET and will co-feature the lightweight title bout between champion Antonio Demarco and Adrien Broner.

Banks has been on an emotional roller coaster following the recent death of his long time trainer and mentor Emanuel Steward. Johnathon had very little time to mourn Steward’s passing however, as he filled in for him in the corner for Wladimir Klitschko’s bout against Mariusz Wach last Saturday night. Banks then flew back to Detroit to attend Steward’s funeral on Tuesday.

Broner vs. DeMarco & Mitchell vs. Banks on Saturday on HBO

Image: Broner vs. DeMarco & Mitchell vs. Banks on Saturday on HBOBy Scott Gilfoid: This Saturday night on HBO in an card packed with two good fights, unbeaten Adrien Broner (24-0, 20 KO’s) will be looking to prove his worth against WBC lightweight champion Antonio DeMarco (28-1-1, 18 KO’s). Also on the card will be unbeaten heavyweight contender Seth Mitchell (25-0-1, 19 KO’s) will be fighting Johnathon Banks (28-1-1, 18 KO’s) at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.

Broner, 23, is the real story on this card because he’s on the verge of becoming a huge bankable pay per view star that could potentially rival the fading stars Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. Broner is pretty much the replacement for those guys and he could be the guy that be the biggest PPV attraction in the U.S in a very short period of time. There is perhaps one competitor and that’s WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez who could be an even bigger PPV star than Broner, but the jury is still out on Alvarez because his fights aren’t all that exiting due to his flat-footed, slow pace of fighting and his unassuming personality.

Warren rates Chisora and Haye higher than Deontay Wilder and Seth Mitchell

Image: Warren rates Chisora and Haye higher than Deontay Wilder and Seth MitchellBy Marcus Stewart: Legendary British boxing promoter Frank Warren said to The Sun newspaper about how David Haye and Dereck Chisora are better boxers than Deontay Wilder and Seth Mitchell. Warren shows his intelligence in a quite obvious fashion because he is one hundred per cent right.

Certain people have been hyping up Deontay Wilder as the next big American heavyweight. Despite his record though he’s proved nothing as he’s failed to beat anyone in the top one hundred. I find it quite disgusting that he decided to call out Tyson Fury when Fury is rated as a top 10 heavyweight and Wilder has beaten no one legitimate for him to be considered as a prospect let alone a contender. Likewise with Seth Mitchell who isn’t ranked highly by any of the world governing bodies and relies on his power thereby showing how he’s one dimensional.

Warren said to thesun.co.uk “In terms of experience and ability, both are light years ahead of leading US charlatans like Seth Mitchell (25-0, 19 KO’s) and Deontay Wilder (25-0, 25 KO’s), who would both struggle to win a British title right now.”

Mike Tyson blasts Deontay Wilder and Seth Mitchell

by

Image: Mike Tyson blasts Deontay Wilder and Seth MitchellBy Mark Calooke: Mike Tyson was once the undisputed king of boxing, the world’s highest paid athlete and the ‘Baddest man on the planet’. He has an opinion that is respected amongst many fans, but he has a habit of stating the obvious.

Tyson has been in England, a country he appears very fond of. Whilst there Iron Mike predictably gave alot of interviews. He reaped praise on Ricky Hatton and his comeback. He told Boxing News magazine “I’m Excited about his comeback. Is Ricky excited? If he is I’m even more excited”. The entire world is either excited or curious. Tyson continued “My main advise to Ricky is don’t go out there trying to prove your tough. When you’re a fighter its very tricky. Ricky Hatton has to know when it’s time to retire. Some people are saying “retire” whilst others are saying “why retire? You’re crazy. The Next thing you know Ricky hits the champion on the chin and is champion again”. I have to agree with Tyson and I think it’s likely to happen.
