Banks from the “The Contender” TV series is a self taught boxer that has done pretty well for a guy who had no amateur fights. Miranda is a blood thirsty Columbian button man with a sterling 29-2, 25 KO’s, 81%, KO ratio. Miranda has been hungry for a fight with boastful Canadian Jean Pascal,20–0,14 KO’s, which is likely to happen if both fighters score a W. Banks has some athleticism and toughness that make him a C+ level fighter. Banks is a fast puncher that likes to stand and counter. Miranda has been on the deck before and can be touched but he is a strong, strong, man. The UNDER 8.5 rounds is -160 at BodogLife.com.

I could see Banks outlanding Miranda in some rounds but Edison “The Pantera” should catch his prey down the stretch with his chopping jab and relentless pressure. Banks is the smaller man and he can counterpunch, but he take shots flush. Banks has balls but he is shooting a .25 against the .50 caliber right hands of Miranda. Banks the Portland native has never faced the pressure of a Miranda before and he should slow down around the 7th round when Edison starts pouring it on to the less experienced fighter. The top-30 contender Banks has a decent shot to go the distance with Miranda if he boxes smart. Not likely that Miranda will lose a close fight if it does go to the cards however, there is a definitive promotional influence with Miranda set up to fight Pascal.

The OVER is the sharp play with Bank's hard cap. Miranda has a great KO% but his power is more strong than devastating. Banks should survive the distance with his better than average durability. Recommendation Go OVER for 30 units at +130 (2% bankroll). Einstein Pick's Brad Marchetti has connection's in the boxing world.
