to action on the undercard of Klitschko/Haye. I wonder who the opponent will be. He needs some light work to get some confidence back post-Adamek.
He got hammered against Adamek. I dont know if Adamek hits that hard or Cunningham and Banks just have shaky chins.
Might be a little of both, but I do know that Banks needs to greatly improve his stamina if he plans on working toward another title shot.
As is always the case whenever someone's on the other end of a knockout like that, I'm interested to see how he bounces back. If the ending of the Adamek fight isn't enough motivation for him to work on the conditioning issue, nothing will be.
i dont think manny would have been much good to the boy......... all i know is if buddy mcgirt was in his corner banks wouldnt have been knocked out!
It's possible, if Manny does one thing well it's keep a fighter calm and relaxed. So maybe when Banks' stamina started to go Manny couldv'e calmed him down a little. It's hard to say though. I really believe if he hadn't tired so early he woould've won.
Possibly he was doing okay. Have you noticed how Adamek fights though, he leaves that distance between himself and the opponent and he waits, he makes them work harder without punching just by the THREAT of a punch, he moves them around the ring and makes them expend energy because of that threat. Plus they tend to take the lead because they feel under pressure(anxiety) to throw because he is stalking them.
He will fight on Klitscho Undercard at Heavyweight. Maybe he had problems to bring the Cruiser Limit.
Banks got ownd pretty badly. Pretty brutal. I think he won't do much at HW. He should fight Oniel Bell or Mormeck at HW, id like that ^_^
