      I have no problem with the decision because it was a close fight, though the 117 score was clearly wrong.

      I'm looking forward to Banks vs. Alexander Alexeev!

        Banks was tired after 5 rounds, he was holding on and was only throwing 1 punch at a time, Rossitto was the aggressor and was landing the cleaner, harder shots from rounds 6-11, round 12 Banks had him hurt. I had it a draw, close fight, Rossitto deserves it more IMO.

          Easy work for Macca.
          yeah it would be...unfortunately Macca sucks so bad.

          I would still pick Banks over Maccarinelli

            Damn, guess I shoulda kept it on. It looked to me like Banks was going to finish him about half way through the 4th and when he didn't I started to lose interest.

              Yeah Macca has his limits but is better than the Italian guy Banks has struggled with. He can **** and threaten Banks' china chin.

                I think Enzo beats Banks rather easily. Banks was lucky to beat a guy who had been KO'd four times already.

                  It wasn't a very entertaining match because Banks was holding almost every chance he got between rounds 6-11 but it was interesting, most obviously his stamina needs working on.

                      Banks was very poor for the second half of the fight. I think even a very limited Maccarinelli would easily dispatch Banks.
