Banks again nothing in round 4, Walker not landing too much though. Even round, if anything Walkers. Crowd whistles/boos at the end of the round. 2-1-1 Walker
Round 4 The first minute sees both miss big rights. Banks continues to throw single shots at a time before ducking his head down and wrapping his lead arm around Walker's neck and grabbing until the ref breaks it up. Walker gets wild right before the bell and eats a right hand. Banks 39-37
All Banks needs is one punch. I am not watching the fight, but he probably knows it. Walker is fragile.
Round 4 Banks is doing his best John Ruiz impression... one punch and hold.. one punch and hold.. tie up Walker whenever he runs out of room or he get's too close. No warnings from the ref yet. Banks took that round pretty easy with his pop shots and then holding so Walker couldn't retaliate. 2-2
No idea what Banks is doing in there, another nothing round. Getting more and more clenching as well. There is no way Banks should be ahead. Give up on scoring though.
Hell if I know. I'll go with Walker because banks just isn't engaging much and is clinching a lot. He should be warned.
Round 5 Not sure what Banks was doing there, he was jumping into hold without throwing a shot... doing the John Ruiz JAB jump HOLD routine. Walker getting a bit frustrated by the holding, starting to wrestle a bit inside, he needs to get pissed is what he needs to do. Ref does nothing to warn Banks for holding. It's beyond excessive at this point. Walker's round, as Banks did so little. 3-2 Walker.
Round 5 Still an ugly wrestling match with lots of clinches - mostly the fault of Banks, who initiates them by ducking under Walker's jab. Walker is giving Banks opportunities to do this, however, by not resetting the momentum of his feet after he throws his slow punches (even the jab) and thus falling right on top of Banks. Banks begins to cover Walker's arms with his left hand every time they tie up, spin so that the ref is on the opposite side of Walker and therefore unable to see, and rabbit punching the side/back of Walker's head with overhand rights. Walker quickly makes the adjustment and sticks his elbow out dramatically while covering his temple with the back of his left glove to draw attention to it. Banks effective in a very ugly way so far. 49-46 JB
