    Although doubtful, if he can he outbox Miranda he sets himself up for a big fight.

    Its likely the PROVERBIAL Chance and its not much of one. I'm thinking banks gets a round or two perhaps, but Miranda's pressure will be too much. There's a clear POWER difference in Miranda's favor. Add the opportunity associated with winning this fight and this smells like a Miranda KO:good

    I feel Banks could be more of a live underdog than he's gettin credit for, but if I was betting on it I take Pantera no question.

    This kid is paying 10 to 1 and I have this feeling man. I might drop 25 bucks just in case.

    I'm tellin ya. Banks could shock. It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility. To be honest, I like Banks and wish him well. However, I also like Pantera and all signs point to him beating Banks handily. Like I said earlier though, IMO Banks is a more live underdog than he is getting credit for.

    Dont throw away your money. I know it's just 25 bucks but Banks has no shot. Trust me. Why would you bet on a bum like Banks? If he had some power, I might give him a little sliver of hope. But since he has feather-fists, he will not be able to keep Miranda off of him. You're better off just buying a case of beer with the money.. or buy some flowers for your girl.. you might get something out of it, if you know what I mean :hey

    I know but Banks can box and he took some good shots on the show from some real super middles not that they hit as hard as Edison but this is only his second fight in this weight class and I stay thinking that Pavlik really hurt him in their fight.

    His chin might not be the same you know, I am still thinking about it though, we will see.

    I'm not disagreeing with you completely here, and if I were betting money I would put it on Miranda. But IMO Banks has more power than his KO ratio indicates, he sure had Manfredo looking like raw hamburger on FNF's a few months ago.

    If you're gonna do it, better hurry. The show is coming on now. With those odds I might do it too. I wouldn't bet 100's or anything, but 10/1 hell even $10 bucks would land you $100 if he wins.

    I have looked to help others and can't find any. But the broad cast just said it's available live on ESPN360.com, so you may be able to try that. If I can find anything I'll come back and post it.
