"Logic Behind the Leather" Seth Mitchell vs Chris Arreola

The non-title heavyweight bout between Seth Mitchell and Chris Arreola will take place on Saturday, September 7th at the Fantasy springs Resort in Indio, CA.  Seth Mitchell is coming off a win against Jonathan Banks, capturing Banks' WBC International Heavyweight title.  That match-up was the second meeting between the two, Mitchell losing the first bout against Banks.  Mitchell showed his lack of boxing skills compared to Banks', and had very amateur like tendencies in the ring.  When he matches up with Arreola, these issues are going to hurt his chances of beating him.  Arreola's aggression and his ability to lure his opponents into a slugfest, is something Mitchell can't afford.  
It seems as though throughout Seth Mitchell's matches, he's looking to get comfortable in the ring, as Arreola has already reached this level.  Going head-to-head with an opponent whose had Arreola's experience, Mitchell does not have the luxury not to feel at home in the ring, because his boxing skills is what is needed to get him through this fight.  
Mitchell has also shown how he can get hurt quickly in the ring, and his lack of recovery after he's been knocked down is practically nonexistent.  Arreola may possibly get a knockout against Mitchell in the early rounds of their bout, if Mitchell doesn't find a way to outbox him, keeping his chin down and staying off of the canvas.
