Comments Thread For: Banks Finishes an Emotional Camp, Focused To Win

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Johnathon Banks doesn’t dispute that these past few weeks have taken quite an emotional toll on him.

That was to be expected, considering the impact Emanuel Steward had on his personal and professional lives. One of the countless things the late trainer taught Banks, however, was that, barring a prohibitive injury, the show must go on.

Banks (28-1-1, 20 KOs) fully understands that he must channel all the raw emotion lingering from Steward’s death Oct. 25 when he steps into the ring Saturday night to fight Seth Mitchell (25-0-1, 19 KOs) at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Detroit’s Banks can significantly enhance his status in the heavyweight division by beating the former Michigan State linebacker in their scheduled 12-rounder, and he realizes it isn’t an opportunity he can afford to waste.

Wonder if his stablemates are going to be there for him.

Also, who's going to be in the corner for Banks?

No idea, but it was a nice gesture by Wlad to have Banks in his corner as his trainer, Im sure Banks appreciates the cash that came with that. Pretty sure he makes 10x more being in Wlad's corner than his purse for this fight...

I hope Banks wins...

How often do we see a guy who's still fighting being the trainer of someone like Wlad? even if it was for one fight.......

Gotta give Banks and Wlad both props.....
