Today's Heavyweight - From Child to Contender

[Hitman932]

I can definitely find out more on that for you. A good friend of mine has been thinking about signing Banks on to a mangement deal alongside of Steward and I can get some info from him next time we talk. Banks though needs another high-profile win though, and some one like a BJ Flores would be a great fight, however, I have Flores out-boxing the kid in that one. But Flores was down against a very Svelte Chris Thomas. Thomas had been in camp with Wlodarcyck for seven weeks before training and caught Flores sleeping. Flores has the better amateur pedigree and fought at heavyweight for some time, but Flores told me he respects Banks, but isn't too high on him.

cool, let me know whatever you can find out, i just looked up the rankings and banks is #6 by the WBO but obviously enzo probably wont fight him unless hes mandatory.... i find it funny he is fighting this bobby gunn guy who just made the cut as the #15 contender.. there are plenty of more deserving fighters and he already fought one nobody in hobson

Don't get me started on Bobby Gunn getting this shot man, it pisses me off. Man Gunn got KO'd by Shleby Gross, only to have it changed to a no-contest because Gross tested positive for Marijuana. So that means Gunn got liad out for almost ten mintues by a pothead. He doesn't deserve a title shot.

its funny you mention that, i looked him up on boxrec and apparently there was quite bit of bull**** going on... said that goss was given an 18 count in the first round before knocking gunn down 3 times in the 3rd... gross drug test was suppressed etc etc... i was looking for accounts of it but didnt find any in real detail

enzo is a nice -10000 favorite on bet365 for his title defense which speaks to gunns chances..

why even bother...

You can bet on the over/under on the rounds in which it will end and for how long Gunn will stay unconscious

yeah thatd be a nice prop... im guessing if gunn got laid out that bad he will try and find a nice soft spot to fall in this one
