Edison Miranda vs Banks on Friday night fights.
Round 1- The first round was very boring. Miranda flicked the jab and didn't do much throughout the first round. Banks slipped punches potshotted but didn't land anything significant. The round continued along the same pattern as above, which resulted in a banks round.. Banks 10-9







Round 2- Much of the same Miranda loading up with the occasional right hand with Banks slipping and moving. Banks continued to sporadically let his hands go. Neither fighter lands anything significant throughout the round. Banks again fought well in spurts and, put together 2 solid sequences of combination punching to earn the round. 20-18



 



Round 3- A disaster for Banks he backed straight up and Miranda landed his vaunted right hand. That punch would have knocked out a heavyweight, Miranda really does have some monstrous power. Miranda KO 3.















Edison Miranda once again showed his power is world class, however, his boxing skills are far behind his power. He needs to develop some more boxing skills or he will lose to the top guys of the division. Banks showed decent boxing skill, decent hand speed. He did however commit a cardinal boxing sin, he backed straight up with his hands down. Against any guy you can get caught and koed if that occurs, especially if that man is Edison Miranda. I also feel Miranda may have been setting up that shot all night, he was just throwing soft shots to lull Banks to sleep and I think it worked. Miranda showed when he sees an opportunity he can and will capitalize. Mirandas win sets up an interesting fight with unbeaten Canadian Jean Pascal, a fight we can all look forward. to.
