Neither Pavlik nor Abraham did a one punch KO on Edison. It took them each a couple of rounds to finish him. I wouldn't say he has a bad chin, just two KO artists were able to get to him. What kind of power does Ward have? I really don't know him.
I'd pick Ward to stick & move Miranda for the first couple rounds. He's (Ward) defo ready for this level of competition, IMO. Miranda will pose a great challenge to the youngster. But the ball is gonna be in Ward's court, meaning unless Pantera can score a K.O. this fight will prob be a wrap for Ward. Possible chance of Ward scoring a K.O. aswell. I can defo see him pull a Pavlik on Miranda. Chalk me up for Ward.
Thats true....I didnt take that approach, but that still doesnt explain his lack of fundaments which he'll need....Ward has the sneaky power IMO meaning he can hit you from so many angles and it will hurt you...Ward is more of a boxer\puncher IMO and he defense is pretty tight...I've watch a couple of Ward fights to be totally honest with you so I just cant say he's a power punching machine but one thing for sure is Ward can box his ass of my friend. Miranda always has the punchers chance given his power but I seriously dont see him beating Ward if he is trying to go in for the kill...If that is Miranda's game plan he will get TKO\KO. (just my opinion on it:good)
Well, the part in red would address Miranda's biggest weakness. I hope he has been working on his defense. That is his biggest problem.
Thats what I've seen from Miranda myself...He gets tagged a lot because of his defense...I agree, Miranda needs ( and I stress the NEED part strongly) to work on that or else its going to be a long night for him.
I doubt it,Ward is already a good fighter altough untested but Miranda will be a good test.Afer some early struggle Ward will figure him out and maybe even stop him.
I give more chance for Ward to beat Miranda then Dirrel could have! But the reason Miranda still get interest its because of his power so he will always have a chance against anyone ans that's why we still want to see him even if he don't have any chance to be world champion one day! he will be a good gate keeper for those young boxers who want to crack the top 10 of the SMW , i think Ward will have better style then Dirrell will have against Miranda!
This might be too soon to swallow for Ward. Miranda knows that he NEEDS this win if he wants to still compete with the best... I am going with him on this one.
im glad to see ward fight somebody good. he has all the tools he needs to beat miranda, as long as he doesnt get caught.
This is a difficult fight for Ward. Im a big fan of his but I dont know if he is ready for Miranda. EM is the favorite.
