Miller came out in Round 3 and looked like a different fighter from the previous two. Miller went down on one knee and one glove and beat the count. After Round 1 of both fighters feeling each other out, Round 2 had Banks landing a right to the head of Miller dropping him to the canvas.
Miller was taking a big step up in competition, as Banks has seen almost everything the sport of boxing has to offer. The night’s main event may have been the best fight in the area so far this calendar year.Ĭruiserweight Demetrius Banks (12-12-1, 5 KOs), a Detroit favorite fighter, was named opponent for up-and-coming Derick Miller (10-0, 6 KOs). Promoter Carlos Llinas promoted Night of Knockouts XXIII at the Soundboard of Motor City Casino on Friday night.
