Bout Summary
In a bizarre moment, action was paused for nearly 20 minutes in the opening round as one of the ring posts came unhinged and had to be repaired. For a moment, the two boxers sat in chairs in the center of the ring while the repairs were taking place. Banks came out bouncing and moving around the ring as Binek came forward and threw the occasional power shot. Binek controlled the 2nd Round, as Banks appeared a bit winded, coming forward and landed a few solid straight lefts. The 3rd Round saw a drop in action as both fighters, often chorused with boos, appeared to be tired. Binek was the more active in the 4th and landed a few more left hands to earn the victory.
