I've been watching 8 of johnsthon banks fights to prepare myself for the card tommorow...banks is usually gassed after 6,his chin is suspect,& he gets hit cleanly by average opposition...adsmek rocked him when he stepped up.gavern is a solid pro & always makes a good showing.he recently beat quezada & was scheduled for a rematch on hbo undercard but dropped out for this nabf title shot vs banks.banks has the eraser punch but gavern has a solid chin & is always in shape & is very durable & a solid boxer.he has no trouble going to hostile enviorments.banks lives in Germany & is wlads chief sparring partner & close friend.he will be the favorite for sure but I got this feeling banks will have his hands full & could be ripe for the upset.
I see an upset possibly happening Saturday

banks has good speed & power but too many questions about him in my mind.gavern I've seen lots & he's a journeyman but he's been fighting good guy after good guy.he's the new zuri Lawrence.banks IMO will not make a huge splash in the division.he can make some $$$$ & get a few big fights but haye fought Barrett,valuev,ruiz for his first 3hw fights,adamek fought golota,estrada,arreola while banks fought marcel zeller(guy who had the kilt on fighting Tyson fury),javier mora,travis walker...not matching the other two guys level of opposition.banks sparred with lewis & is the chief partner for wlad & for vitali as well...I thought I'd see more to honest...maybe I'm wrongComment

I do like the choice of walker as his last opponent.big puncher swinging for the fences.walker is big & strong but slow...nice test.Comment

That was an ugly fight to watch; hopefully this one will be more entertaining...

ugly fight & I had it 113-113.banks was in the worst shape I've ever seen him in.I saw a possible upset happening & I thought he was in shape.he has work to do.gavern 1-2-1 his last 4 vs boytsov,Canadian champion neven pajkic,quezada,banks....not bad for a journeyman that weighs 210-220....mike mollo type boxerComment
