Thompson is 6’5” and in the 250 range, while Price stands a towering 6’8” while usually checking in at around the same poundage. The 2008 Olympic bronze medal winner Price is taking a step up in class. Date: February 23, 2013 Site: Echo Arena, Liverpool, England Weight Class: Heavyweights: 12 Rounds David Price, 15-0 (13 KOs), Liverpool, England vs. Tony Thompson, 36-3 (24 KOs), Washington, D.C. It’s a calculated risk. Beating Thompson would carry with it a certain level of prestige, being that the only man to defeat Thompson in the past dozen years was Wladimir Klitschko. At the same time, Thompson is 41 years old and his name value probably outweighs his actual merit as a fighter. To Thompson’s credit, it hasn’t been easy for him to book big fights, but he’s still a guy who has neve...

He is at the very least its most visible heavyweight, having already twice appeared on HBO Boxing After Dark telecasts. He is 6’2” with a reach of 76-inches and 30 years of age. He only took up boxing in 2006 and had a brief 10-fight amateur career. Before taking up boxing, “Mayhem” was a star linebacker for Michigan State until injuries brought an end to a promising career. Now 25-0-1 (19 KOs), Mitchell is moving toward bigger things. A sign that he is committed is his weight. The well-conditioned and athletic Mitchell has been 240-245 for the last 13 fights. ---> Check out the entire Klitschko Readiness Rating series, evaluating all of the top heavyweight contenders & pretenders Does Mitchell Have a Chance Against Either Klitschko?

Fighting on the televised HBO undercard of Chad Dawson's win over Bernard Hopkins, Mitchell and Witherspoon gave the Atlantic City fans a reason to be excited about heavyweight boxing again. After being rocked in the first round, Mitchell made a quick turnaround and dominated the fight from the second round until he put Witherspoon away with a thundering right hand in the third. Mitchell took some time to talk to The Boxing Tribune about a few critical moments in the fight, his on-the-job education, and where he ranks himself among the heavyweight contenders.

Though they left Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City Saturday night with different results, both future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins and heavyweight contender Seth Mitchell made statements that their careers are going strong and continuing after delivering compelling performances to a packed house in New Jersey and to homes across the country on HBO World Championship Boxing®. In the main event, "The Executioner" may have come up on the short end of a 12-round majority decision to Chad Dawson, but without question, Hopkins' performance in the closely-contested bout showed that even at 47, there is plenty of fight left in the fighting pride of Philadelphia. Dawson praised Hopkins at the post-fight press conference for his skill and guile in the ring and exclaimed, "He can still beat anyone else in our division."

In his first appearance, he scored a second-round knockout of Timur Ibragimov. Saturday night, on the undercard of Dawson-Hopkins II, he needed three rounds to stop Chazz Witherspoon and pick up the NABO heavyweight title in the process. Witherspoon appeared to be ready to pull the upset with a solid first round. He began the round circling and boxing at a distance. Midway through the round he began an aggressive, long-range attack and rocked Mitchell several times with hard overhand rights. Mitchell showed resolve when he came out to change the momentum in Round 2, which he did by being aggressive and landing some heavy body shots. Then, in Round 3, Witherspoon made the mistake of mixing it up inside with Mitchell and paid a heavy price. The two were trading in close when Mitchell landed a right hand followed by a flush left hook that sent Witherspoon to the ground. Witherspoon beat the count, but had little left in his legs.

Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell, 25-0-1 (19 KOs), knocked out Chazz Witherspoon, 30-3 (22 KOs) in the 3rd round of a very pleasing heavyweight scrap. Mitchell, 241 1/2, certainly didn't get off to a great start as the more angular Witherspoon, 231 1/2, opened the fight by raining short rights off Mitchell's chin.
