johnie white is cool...he come to the ring with a parrot on hi shoulder.
241?? I always got the impression he was a lean and mean 220 himself. Does he show that he is 241 or is it just muscle??
How do you see this fight turning out, Gary?? I haven't been fortunate enough to see Seth Mitchell (or Johnnie White for that matter). What do you think happens??
I have heard chatter about this fight being exciting from the boys down at the gym.
Seth is usually around the 240 pound mark. He has never been 220. The highest he has been is 251, so he has been pretty consistent.
If you judge strictly by won-loss records, this looks like an even bout. Neither men have fought tremendous competition but I think Mitchell has faced better journeymen boxers than White has. Give me Ryan Thompson, Zack Page and Jermell Barnes over Cliff Couser anyday.
The one time White stepped up was his only loss to date, the first round knockout against Dominic Guinn. Mitchell is really grasping the sport of boxing and I expect him to win it tomorrow night, possibly by stoppage.

Seth's 241 is muscle. He's in tremendous shape. This is Seth at 244. See for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1c0Iui-ePE
Seth will get beat by the first live body they put in front him. Remember where you heard it first.
