\"\"<\/a>On Saturday night, August 27, 2011, undefeated heavyweight boxer, Seth \u201cMayhem\u201d Mitchell, will fight at the HP Pavilion, in San Jose, California, on the televised HBO (Home Box Office) \u201cBoxing After Dark\u201d program. Mitchell\u2019s bout will air at 10:30pm ET, followed by the Marcos Maidana-Robert Guerrero title fight. The fight card is presented by Golden Boy Promotions, in association with Universum Box Promotions. <\/p>\n

Seth Mitchell (Brandywine, Maryland, 22-0-1, 16 KOs) is scheduled to fight against American boxer, \u201cMerciless\u201d Mike Mollo (Oak Lawn, Illinois, 20-3-1, 12 KOs), in a 10-round bout. Mitchell, a former Maryland high school football All-American and Michigan State University football standout, has knocked out nine of his last ten opponents.<\/p>\n

On May 13, 2011, Mitchell defeated Evans Quinn in a 10-round bout [when Evans basically quit]. In the opening round of the fight, Mitchell sent his opponent to the canvas with a combination of overhand right hooks to the head and body shots. Quinn did not answer the count from referee Joe Cortez, giving Mitchell the victory, by knockout, at 2:38 of round one.<\/p>\n

Mitchell said, \u201cThis is an opportunity that doesn\u2019t come around often. I\u2019m very focused and won\u2019t let the spotlight overwhelm me. I\u2019m having a great training camp and am definitely looking forward to fighting Mike Mollo. He comes to fight. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s looking forward to the fight and he\u2019ll be ready. Again, I\u2019m very excited and I am looking forward to putting on a good show for my fans on HBO. I plan on coming home with another victory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell\u2019s boxing trainer, Andre Hunter said, \u201cI know Mike Mollo will come to fight, but Seth will adjust to whatever he brings to the fight. Seth is always in great condition and is prepared to fight into the later rounds. We are looking forward to continuing our success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell\u2019s boxing manager, Sharif Salim, said, \u201cSeth will be the co-[feature] on a very large platform. This truly puts him in the limelight, so that he can showcase his incredible talents. His opponent, Mike Mollo, is a tough fighter, and one that we will not take lightly. Seth is experiencing another tremendous training camp. We will be ready on August 27.\u201d<\/p>\n
