    I never got the chance to see the fight but with Banks winning only a majority decision I'm curious to hear the opinions of people who saw the fight. How bad did Banks look and did he deserve the decision?

    He's fighting Maccarinelli next for the WBO title.

    As I remember, Banks looked out of shape and unimpressive.

    I was live at ringside.

    Banks looks okay but had some problems with his opponents who walks forward and did some pressure with his akward style but at the end Banks won and his win was okay.

    I saw it and Banks looked unimpressive,actually I liked Rossitto in that fight for his heart but I guess Banks deserved to win.Don't think he will get past Enzo Mac

    Thanks guys. I appreciate it as I've been curious about this fight for quite some time. All I see are ****ing threads about De La Hoya/Pacman and it makes me sick. I gotta dig real deep to get info on the more obscure fights.

    Banks only had 6 weeks to train for that fight.

    He will be ready for Macca.

    banks looked like he gassed after about 53 seconds. his conditioning was laughable.

    Yet he came in and somehow won the last round.
