Worst thing is that unless Malignaggi pulls the upset....or...Broner put on a virtuoso performance...the main event isn't going to be much better than the two previous fights on the card.
SERIOUS QUESTION: Anyone else think the fix might be in here???? :dunno: Mitchell going to get a decision here.
Wouldn't surprise me, honestly. Banks looked like he could have knocked Mitchell out anytime he wanted to
Fight is fixed man. Banks goes down on nothing in the 2nd, could have blown his man out in the 3rd, but backs off and backs off and continues to back off anytime he even remotely has his man in trouble.
Right? He accentuates certain verbal cues at the wrong times. At least I got some entertainment from him in the shadow of the farce that took place in the ring.
banks is horrible considering he's been boxing for how many years? can't even outbox a football player who's never been past 8 rounds.
I think Banks has enough going on with his training gig. Even Wlad was acting all coy..."Oh almost carbon copy of first fight.....yawn".....for me, gut feeling, fixed fight, all night.
Both should be ashamed. At least Banks looks like the kind of unassuming fag who would pull this shit. Mitchell looks like a killer but fought like a big pussy
Yeah, it was like Banks hurt him by accident early... then decided it would be best to not even pretend to throw a right hand.
A fix wouldn't shock me, but Banks is a loser so I'm not too shocked by this kind of performance from him.
I was hoping for a draw baby, let's do this again. By the way, leave god out of it Seth...the sky wizard himself probably fell asleep and atrocities all over the world have happened in the last 40 minutes.
Of course it was fixed.....Mitchell was out on his feet....then in the immediate next round Banks completely backs away and do NOTHING.....
Who would fix this shit though? For the Jewish "bleck" sans chin? Heavyweight boxing has no future in sight. Sad too, when you look at Ring mags around 2000.
I think this fight is a decision to be honest. I haven't seen too much of Broner on the outside, he seems to like to hang around at intermediate range. I think Malinaggi will box decently enough, Broner isn't a bull.
He, Banks, also made sure he went down for a 10-8 round off a punch that would not have otherwise dropped him. Watch how Banks leans in, offers his head, then takes the shot on the back of his dome, and makes as little protestation to the ref as possible. 10-8 round from a position where Mitchell was probably losing the round in any case. Then he roughs him up in the third but does it at the end of the round, then does fuck all, causing his corner to want to know if his hands were broken, cos they most likely were not in on it.
In that clip with Paulie I almost expected James Gandolfini to rise from the dead and make a cameo in the barbershop.
