Enzo is taking on a pretty tough opponent after being blown out of the water by David Haye.
Banks is trained by Stewart and is 20-0 with 14 knockouts. He's also Mac's height.
Is he too green to beat Mac? What are people's takes?
I couldn't find much video on Banks, but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8wMZMDaSTU .

people are making to big a deal about the haye fight, there was a lot more going on outside the ring that was kept quiet because no one wanted to make excuses.
Enzo will spark banks out, 4 rounds tops.
does enzo see himself as a force in the HW division in the furtre?? just wondered because he could clean up at Cruzer in the next couple of years..
Enlighten us.Quote:

Never heard of Banks if I'm honest but it looks like a good fight to get back in the mix for Enzo.
he was the main undercard fight on the last Wlad fight they showed on nutsTVQuote:

But he beats Banks who is merely a contender. Big wow. Fukk Enzo.
When Enzo was knocked out earlier in his career, to Brit journeyman Lee Swaby, it was supposedly because he was out drunk (on alcohol) the night before. That's the excuse.Quote:

Banks was not all that impressive on the Wlad undercard, in fact Rossitto could have easily got the decision. He'll need to improve his stamina to beat Enzo.
Neither of these guys will clean out Cruiser IMO.
Banks wins by UD or stoppage.
Enzo is just more Enzo Calzaghe hype....he's not good AT ALL and the sooner you hot tea drinking sissyfied wusses realize it the better ;)
I think Banks is an ok fighter, he may do well in the heavyweight division when he's not going to be weight drained.....only problem he's not that tall, and he's not that big, and the division is currently dominated by very big and very good fighters albeit none of you guys want to admit how good the Klitschko's are but I figure you'll find out once all that's left of Haye is a slimey spot on a canvas somewhere in England ;D
Does Vitali's ring-peice taste the same as Wlads?Quote:

As neither of them are in this fight I fail to see why they would even matter in this match up.Quote:

rrrrrright....so is the goofy looking white dude who got KTFO in the vid I posted NOT Enzo Maccarinelli????? Because if it isn't him then I will retract all my statements but if it IS him then please explain how THAT will beat Jon Banks
I went with Macca by KO...
Banks spends too much time staring at his opponents and watching them go to work. I expect Macca to be explosive fromt he start and get a KO mid rounds.
Thats a bit harsh as a generalisation of Brits , but anyway Banks is Hype , as is Enzo , i went for Banks by KO , but i dont really care either way , as for Enzo ever being a HW , thats not going to happen with any success hes to small with a glass jaw.Quote:

Saying that, even though i'm a fan of Enzo, he isn't world class and definitely chinny, and cou-ple that with being not to hard to hit. It should be an entertaining fight while it lasts.
I like Enzo. I think he's quite limited....but he lays it on the line and he has power. He's a nice guy. I think he's got further than his talent should have allowed him....and that's probably testament to Frank Warren and Enzo Calzaghe.Quote:

I think he'll win this one. Purely because i'm not impressed with Banks. Maybe Banks is just weight-drained at Cruiser. Unfortunately this fight is at Cruiser.....so good luck to him ;D
haha how can you say anything about drinking hot tea?? all you yankies bang on about is drinking ICE TEA?????? Give me a break!!
Wow. Lyle laid the bait and a lotta guys jumped at it. If we moaned about it every time you called us yanks we'd look like the biggest babies. He said you drink tea. So what?
As for Banks: I've seen him a few times and he's a good boxer with some pop, but he is a little slow. For Enzo to win he'll have to jump on him, knock him down a few times and hope the ref stops it. But Banks has a decent chin and can start fresh even after a knockdown. He stays calm, punches accurately and punches hard. If Haye sparked him in 2, Banks can easily do that in 4.
banks has heart i remember he was on espn he was young and he was knock down twice and look done against he came back to win by ko
and i think he beats enzo by ko
Let's also add that Banks has THE best sparring partner: Wlad Klitschko. He's learned immensely in a short amount of time.
Neither guys that special really, both can punch a bit, both seem chinny, neither is that skilled. I guess I'd go with Enzo maybe. It could be a good fight cause of how vulnerable they are.
Changed my mind, I'll go with Banks.
Enzo's confidence shattered......no warm up fight.....Enzo should have had a warm up fight
Job Biscuit (Don't rate Banks...but Enzo has had it)!!!!
eh eh!!
I saw Banks vs Castillo whe Castillo was 20-1. Banks got decked twice in the first round, but came roaring back to ko Castillio in the 4rth. He showed incredible heart in that one. Stewart raves about him (of course, he raves about all of his fighters).:confused:

Not too familiar with Banks, are there any clips around of his last few fights?
Macca KO
Jonathon Banks KO's him i've seen few fights of his, and he's got heart. Decent handspeed and he packs a punch.
Gets decked here twice heavily.

Then comesback and does this.

If anything Banks did show pretty good instincts that first round, some guys don't know what to do first time they really get hurt but Banks held on pretty well.
Both chinny, both can punch, a shame it probably won't be on TV here.
