    Any excuse to defend him. He was still whining about it today.

    Glad you said that mate. The panel were saying how good Miranda was but he looked awful to me despite the win.

    Pavlik or Kessler rematch possibly? I can't imagine he'd want to go to a domestic level fight after having tasted the top for the last 3 years, even if it's a big domestic fight. Not that I can see one out there, don't think either party would be interested in Groves or DeGale.

    Miranda is wank. I'd worry about Clev taking punches though, but he should outclass him.

    Clev would batter Miranda pretty comprehensively in my opinion. Judging from Pantera's last three fights or so, he's done, and he certainly wouldn't be able to cope with the high-octane workrate of Cleverly. He's trying to adopt some kind of ''cute'' style now which looks hideous, Cleverly would hit him at will if he forced the issue.

    He'd unravel and get himself DQ'd probably.

    Why would I need an excuse? Your post implies I have bias against or prejudice directed towards Khan, considering what you know of my opinion of him consists of one sentence it's an odd quote for you to make.
    He barely had a good word to say about Kell Brook as well. I'm sick of him.

    Missed them talking about the fight but I thought he was awful looking. Even by his standards as he never was a talented boxer. Even the power didn't look there for a long time. As Jpab says Miranda would most likely lose the rag and get himself DQ'd again.

    Just reading through Pavlik and Miranda both mentioned there fight was a good war while it lasted.

    What did Froch say when he lost a CLOSE fight to Kessler?

    What has that got to do with anything? We're discussing two boxers and their attitude towards their most recent loss.

    You may as well be asking me what Froch said about last week's episode of Corrie.

    Interesting you mention that since I remember Khan being an ungracious dick about that too. Froch loses to someone in the top three of his division in a very competitive fight. Khan gets destroyed in 60 seconds by an unproven contender who hasn't done anything of note since. Yet Khan gloated about it.

    Froch's post-fight excuse for Kessler was pathetic, but hey, at least he just got on with it, didn't demand rematches or to have the ruling overturned.

    Just saying.

    So stop stirring up debate to defend the little ***** and ignore it.

    You are getting your ass beat slightly less than you did in the previous round. That means you win?

    So if I play a game of basketball against LeBron James and lose by 81 in the first game, and 79 in the second, does that mean we are 1-1?
