wow I've been hearing a lot of good things about Banks, this isn't a tuneup as some ppl think it may be

This will be a good fight while it lasts, I doubt it'll go 12.

****, thats a pretty conservative statement there.

This one won't go 6.

I think Adamek will win late, Banks starts pretty fast but I didn't like the way he faded during his last fight, I think it'll go about 8 or 9 rounds.

I dont really know much about Banks. I really want Adamek to win so he can defend against Steve Cunningham in another classic.

I really want Banks to win so I can watch a world title fight at Joe Louis Arena.

This will be an exciting fight while it lasts!

Since Banks has power and fairly decent skills, he definitely has a chance. But my prediction is Adamek KO 8.

I lived in Windsor for a year, and used to go to a lot of Red Wings games at Joe Louis Arena.
