    Is Banks worth some money @ 4/1 ?

    Yes,Adamek has been in many wars and is fighting way to often.
    That being said I don't believe it will catch him up tomorrow.

    Yes.

    I would say so.

    On my website, for every 100 bucks I bet on Tomek, I win 16...

    How lame is that? LOl

    Your best bet would be making a MEDIUM stake on Banks.

    Medium as in your budget style.

    30$ would be good.
    You would win like, 100$ easy.

    BTW, Im not trying to convince you, just giving you tips.

    You are actually wrong, the standard should be that boxer fights once per
    3 months if he isn't injured. Adamek just keeps the standards high.

    Let's put it like this.

    Adamek blocks rights with his face.

    Banks throws a nice compact straight right hand.

    I don't think Banks is the same caliber of boxer, but with Manny Steward advising his career and Adamek's quick turnaround off of the Cunningham fight, +350 is a nice number.

    I got on Adamek by points at $3.65. Best value i could find and a decent chance of how the fight will finish.

    Fighting every 3 months is a good thing. It keeps you sharp. Back in the day, fighters would fight every 3-4 weeks. What's the big deal?

    Adamek is just keeping busy. I've seen Banks before and he is the type if he can't get you out of there, he is in trouble. Mind you, it has been years since I have seen him fight. I like Adamek heart and I am going with a decision or late stoppage.

    Iv always looked at it as a good thing.

    Adamek knows what he is doin and wouldnt take fights he isnt ready for.

    I mean, if your healthy why not. We are basically going by a lot of these champs that like to fight every four to six months. We have to wait. If you got cut or it was a war, okay take some time off. You have to be in the fans face so you can have a bigger fan base. Chavez was smart. He fought I believe every two months. He would mix lower caliber fighters with good fighters. Stay sharp.

    Adamek seems like the kind of guy who can fight on short intervals. But I don't care how short on power Cunningham might be, that was a rough fight. He's taking a risk here. If he's in tune with what his body can take, and thinks he's in top shape, I'm glad to see him back already.

    Banks is a staminaless, chinless C+ level fighter.. he should be a 20/1 underdog. Definitely not worth it. Put that money on Juarez or Hatton.
