Miranda, Pascal foes named!
On January 11th, with the New Year less than two weeks old, super middleweight stars Edison Miranda (29-2, 25 KOs) and Jean Pascal (20-0, 14 KOs) will attempt to move closer to their long awaited showdown – but only if they can survive the hard-nosed battlers they will face at boxing's "Crossroads." Miranda squares off against The Contender's David Banks (15-3-1, 2 KOs) and Pascal faces Omar Pittman (15-3-1, 8 KOs) in ten round bouts which headline a night of world-class professional boxing presented by Seminole Warriors Boxing and Groupe Yvon Michel in Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. For Miranda and Pascal, wins on January 11th could mean a highly-anticipated showdown later in 2008. ESPN2's Friday Night Fights will televise the card live beginning at 9pm ET / 6pm PT.

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
Good to see Miranda staying busy and hopefully both he and Pascal can meet after this.

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
I think Banks might actually look good, or at least not get starched, in the first couple of rounds. He looked pretty slick against Manfredo before he started to gas out; but later in that fight he got hit with a ton of right hands and Miranda's not going to need to land too many I don't think.

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
I think Banks may pull of the upset because he is a counter-puncher and Mirande will oblige him by initiating the action. Banks is gonna hit him with the straight right counter, which he is very fast with. This is gonna be better than most expect, unless Banks gets caught which could happen at any moment with Miranda. Unless Miranda has developed alot since the Pavlik fight he could get outpointed.

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
I rekon the fight will be like the Willie Gibbs fight ! people think he will do alrite and then he will just get KTFO!

I think if Banks has managed to solve his stamina issues this could be a possibility, but I don't think it's likely. Banks gassed out against Manfredo, and Miranda is a few levels above Manfredo, and he's going to put all kinds of pressure on Banks. Also, Banks doesn't have the power in his shots to keep Miranda off of him.
I think after the 3rd-4th rounds this one is going to get really, really ugly for Banks.

Are you talking about the same David Banks we are ???
Banks will be lucky if he doesn't walk away with a studder

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
Did they talk to banks about this ??

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
Banks may have gone the distance with powder puff punching Peter Manfredo but against Edison Miranda he is going to get mugged. This one has brutal Ko written allover it.

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
fully agree with that too rob!

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
Whatever come see me after the fight and we can talk about how right I was. :P Banks is at least willing to fight anyone, he would have fought Pascal or Miranda, you cant say he doesnt have balls.

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
Banks definitely has balls, i give him huge props for that..
But, and i hate to say this, but he already has 3 losses on his record.. He is a prospect that, if developed properly, could be a decent speedy annoying counter puncher and give some (not the top tier) super middles trouble.. If he has 4+ Losses on his record will he ever have a chance to be a big draw like i assume he wants to be? I know that we all could have a conversation saying he lost to some good competition, but on paper it isn't going to look that great..
I don't think this is a great move on paper, or due to the risk of getting his face smashed in.. Even though if he wins it would be Huge.. seems to be too much of a risk at this time in his career.

Wasn't Banks in the last season of the Contender? When did he fight Manfredo? Anyone know anything about Pascal's opponent?

He fought Manfredo just before Contender show started.

Yeah he lost a UD I think, but throughout the fight, and especially in the early rounds he was tattooing Manfredo with straight rights, closing up his eye. He would've won if he hadn't run out of gas. If he had any power Manfredo would've been in trouble.

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
I think he had short notice on the Manfredo fight. He definately needs to work on his endurance and d, but he's sharp offensively, just lacks k.o. power.

Thats the biggest problem with this fight for him...Without KO power to hold Miranda off...you are in serious trouble...for a guy with zero amateur experience though Banks is not that bad of a fighter....

He is also self trianed so far, I was hoping McGirt would train him after the contender, but it didnt look like they got along too well.

Yeah Buddy also has a pretty full card...Banks does seem a bit full of himself so that right there would make Buddy say Bye.....We will see in a yr or so what will happen with the kid...I do know this is a bad choice for him

Re: Miranda, Pascal foes named!
I for one, will enjoy watching Pantera feasting on easy prey. He deserves a couple easy fights after Pavlik to build momentum again and he will then be ready to go back into the mix. How can anyone not be a fan of his? He is a hard puncher, take no prisoner, fight to the end kinda guy and deserves success.
Miranda KO in 5

I'll always be a fan of fighters who fight every fight like it is their last one. They pour it all out and let the chips fall. Their championship careers are usually short, but shooting stars are always amazing to watch.
Guys like:
Pavlik, Miranda, Mayorga, etc, will not be around long. Enjoy them while they are here I say.
