Adamek vs. Banks: Emanuel Steward Gives His Take

[Zocalo]

I don't think Banks is world class like Adamek.

I love how Adamek fights. Isn't afraid to let his hands go. He fights like a Mexican fighter. I have yet to see one boring fight out of him.

Im really not sure how this fight will turn out, Adamek is one tough guy but Banks is no walk in the park but he doesnt have the level of opposition that Adamek does so. This should be a good one.

Adamek has that Glenn Johnson style, he makes the good, skilled fighters look bad. I'm not sure if Banks can outbox him.

He doesen't need to. Banks can hurt Adamek with either hand, the question will be whether or not he can use Adamek's aggression against him and walk him into a shot early in the fight.

People forget that Cunningham had Adamek hurt and just couldn't finish the job. Banks hits like a heavyweight, and if he hurts Adamek he is a relentless finisher, unlike Cunningham.

Are you pumped for this fight on Friday. I think this fight could be awesome.

Cunningham is not the biggest puncher in the division either, and Adamek is there to be hit. If Banks can hurt Adamek, he could be in for a long night because he can only fight one way.

Respect to Banks. He could have fought Enzo or Adamek and he took the much tougher fight because it is important to him to beat the real champion. He isn't just looking for an alphabet strap to live off of, he wants to be considered the best and he intends to take the important fights, no matter the risk.
