Columbian Edison Miranda knocked former Contender contestant David Banks through the ropes with a devastating right hand in the 3rd round at Seminole Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida on Friday, January 11, 2008. Banks suspended on the ropes on his back managed to pull himself back into the ring as referee Telis Assimenios counted him out. Banks, dazed and on rubber legs staggered to his corner as Florida commissioners rescued him from hitting the canvas a second time. Joe Tessitore, ESPN commentator called it the leading candidate for knockout of the year.
On June 21, 2008 stateside Edison Miranda and Arthur Abraham will settle some unfinished business in a catch weight rematch at 166 pounds. In their first fight in Germany, Abraham suffered a broken jaw during the 4th round from one of Miranda's devastating haymakers. Miranda lost the bout by unanimous decision but claims it was due to biased officials having lost 5 points during the fight. This rematch will mark Abraham's US debut.
