undefeated prospect up and comer who was going to fight enzo for belt but took this fight to be on tv in america prolly for more money. and he is someone who adamek thinks he can beat for title defense before he loses his belt back in the cunningham rematch
I hope this fight ends early. Both seem to lack conditioning.
No. Banks has had conditioning problems, such as in the Rossito fight. But Adamek always comes in shape, as we saw in the later rounds of his fights with Briggs, Dawson, and Cunningham.
Jonathon Banks is a very good CW who seems to fight up or down to the level of his competition. This will not be an easy fight for Adamek and IF he wins he will never forget who Jonathon Banks is. Like it was stated above, Banks has vicious power in both hands while he has also shown to be vulnerable to going down. He got up though and that shows good recuperation. Castillo is a good fighter and that was quite awhile ago. Banks can do it all and while Adamek does have some good whiskers he is definitely not immune from being KTFO in this fight. I expect Banks to come in fully prepared and more motivated than ever before. This is his chance to become the man by beating the man.
CW should be eliminated from the sport. Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis were "Cruisers", some of the great HWs of all time. Part of the reason the HW division is filled with fat guys is because all of the athletic heavies are cutting weight.
It would give the heavyweight a bit more depth if the cruiserweights were made back into heavyweights.
