Jonathan banks was awful last night.

i agree with this....painful to watch this guy. another cruiserweight with no power and brings nothing to the table to show he has a remote chance in beating a top 10 guy

 

did banks win?

 

First time saw him, was OK although should go cruiser.

 

Banks is a good loyal sparring partner, but he is a very slow ponderous predictable heavyweight who is never gonna break the proper top 10... He isn't lean as he could be, and he is a lazy arm puncher who can bang but labors too much.. No pop and no head movement......... Malik Scott would chisel him a second ass hole.... lmao..

 

Banks is the type of fighter who fight better against other fast handed fighters. Seems the only time he really mixes it up is when he pressed or behind on the cards. Once he gets an early lead he goes into cruise control.

Obviously Firtha wasn't the guy to bring out his best, but when Oquendo backed out during on the TA/VK UC, Rodriguez offered to take it on 10 days notice. Similar size as Oquendo, but Banks had other considerations.

He opted for a slightly less risky opponent. SLIGHTLY

 

Were you expecting something else?

Had you never seen him?

Just because he's a close friend and beloved sparring partner of K2 doesn't mean he's an elite HW.

 

Sparring partner syndrome

He's quite a good fighter but wont go very far

 

Nobody wants to **** with Malik Scott. The most feared man in the sport.

 

It wasn't really a big card though, was it?

It was a K2 card.

Those are usually top loaded.

The undercards for Wladimir and Vitali almost always suck. The main focus of the event is the main event.
