sorry got it a bit late. round 1 was a feeling out round banks stalking the middle ground not doing anything, rossitto skirting the ring a few overhand rights got through but banks took ring center and controlled the round even if he did not do a lot 1-0 banks.
round 2/ similar round low key , banks content to wait for the perfect oppurtunity to let his hands go and rossito just in survival mode , looking to not get hurt and not to win at the moment. low key banks 2-0
Rossito got taken out in 2 by Haye, just worth noting Rossito has been pretty awkward and negative thus far
round 3/ banks much bigger and more powerfull. rossito faster hands than banks but nothing on them although he has landed a few flush, but no effect. banks just taking his time, needs to change gears this round. similar pattern banks holding center but not letting hands go rossito in and out a little but definatley not committing and more out than in. crowd heard a pin drop at the back and ooohhed nice banks jab, heavy handed but quite slow paced of foot and hand at this moment. perhaps not liking a southpaw ? banks loading up and being slow as a result instead of just flowing. maybe trying to hard to impress. rossito spoiling so not making him look good. i feel one big punch will end it in his favour though, just when will it land . 3-0 banks
round 4/ definatly southpaw is giving banks problem with his timing. nice left hook banks and rossito grabs hold for dear life. banks seems to be moving his feet quicker in this round, good to see as he needs to corner him. big left hook by banks puts rossito in trouble rossito in full survaival grab and hold mode now banks goes for the kill. open all the time to a right over the top is banks but rossito has no power to trouble him. rossito fires a combo banks just misses with a big right banks 4-0
round 5/ i fell this round might be it if banks goes for it. seems a long ring 1 min. banks comes out letting both hands go pop shot and rossito goes into a clinch banks better jabbing keeping it long banks pawing with the jab both go into a clinch nice right inside by banks lands flush by banks cut unintentional not sure who is cut banks ? rosito taking it to banks rosito is the man cut flush banks right hand ref takes rosito to corner good reffing says he will give corner chance to work on it **** cortez gfet this man in charge of a few high profile rosito now making mistakes going to banks . banks 5-0
Not really impressive from Banks. Looks a bit slow and plodding, like he's never seen a southpaw in his entire life, and struggling to deal with the spoiling.
round 6/ nice right uppercut banks lead left rossito banks able to counterpunch now as rosito takes it to him. banks very open if against a better fighter ships a straight left uppercut by rossito banks not using his size/strenght /power/to just walk through rosito and get the fight over with. he should just say **** it now and let bombs away and get rosito out of here. banks nothing on his punches this round holding on all the time. perhaps winded , although the pace has been sedentry rosito actually woin that round. woodhall british commentry gives it to him as well banks breathing like he has done a marathon in the corner 5-1
I make that 5-2 Banks now, hes really got to be careful here, he looks tired He could feasibly lose this if he gives up the remaining rounds due to poor conditioning.
round 7/banks backpeddling what is he dfoing. steward has gone backstage to hep klitchko prepare banks now looking totally lethargic/slow and plodding holding on with double arm letting rositto walk him down. nice body shot banks. banks now playing running style , ref asks have you hurt your handwaiting to see if banks throws a right hand banks lets both hands go rosito lovely body shot banks grabs hold 10/10 that round banks leads by 4 rounds
Maybe the Italian is fighting a smarter fight than we give him credit for. He almost exclusively spoiled and ran in the early rounds, tired Banks out, bit on the mouthguard when he was hurt Now he looks the better conditioned and stronger.
