I also have to give the punisher my vote, but it will be very close. Bane is more intelligent and a better tactician, but in the end, Bane won't be able to do anything the Punisher hasn't seen before, and his experience in combat will be enough to level the playing field.

If the fight comes up close, bane will dominate. But The Punisher has dealt with various super powered beings before, so bane's immunity to pain shouldn't surprise him. But it still gives Bane a tough advantage at any range, the ability to shrug off the pain from a bullet is a great combat edge. In the end the Punisher will take the battle despite his losses in training, physicality, organization, hand to hand, intelligence and tactics x-factors. He has the experince dealing with people far more powerful than bane and will adapt to his circumstances rather quickly.
