    Can Miranda be the first to knock out Banks? Or will Banks go the distance? Any chance of banks upsetting Miranda?

    Banks has some moves but his history shows that when you start touching him, he keeps his hands at home. Locking up shop doesn't win rounds.

    Banks needs some serious polishing and more experience. Maybe he has learnt from the Manfredo and Smith fights and will come prepared to let his hands go for 12 rounds.

    This could be a better match than some may think it first appears. Banks IMO kicked the **** out of Manfredo (although Manfredo won on points), he had Peter looking like some ****ed up hamburger. Yeah, he lost a close decision in a 5 round fight on Contender, but IMO he's better than appears. If I were betting though, def. take Miranda to win, but just saying this might be pretty damn good to watch.

    :deal This is a good post bro. One thing about Banks, he has taken on some pretty decent opposition out of the gate (sort of fed to the lions, if you will).

    Banks is a decent boxer with good footwork and fast hands.However he has no power and i think Miranda will just steamroll over him.Miranda ko 4 or 5

    This is a stylistic nightmare for Banks. Miranda will stop him before the 6th.

    I can't see Banks lasting the distance. Miranda is too strong and too powerful.

    Banks has NEVER faced anyone with any kind of power. Even Manfredo had him hurt and going backwards. He may last a few rounds, but I will be quite surpirsed if Miranda does not have a fairly easy night and KO him.

    and let me add that this is the absolute worst way to fight edison. You have to back miranda up like kelly showed us. He doesnt have quite the finess or footwork to fight going backwards. If edison is coming towards you the entire fight, you are going to lose. His right hand is absolute killer and could take anyone out if he gets his full extension and momentum into it.
