    Thinking of putting a bet on Miranda by knockout. I favour Bellew and so do the bookmakers and im not getting great odds. Could Miranda pull of an upest?

    Always possible with him but it seems like his power suffered when he moved up in weight, also his punch resistance is not the same any more.
    Depends on the odds you have but I wouldn't bet on him

    Taking a risk on an underdog to make money as that is the purpose of gambling.

    Betting on Miranda... he's 6/1 to win by KO :hey

    These odds are much too wide, so a good betting option imo.

    But I thought you said the odds were not great?? What odds you getting on it?

    I think Bellew is going to walk right through him in all fairness, however Miranda does have a bit of dig and Bellew can be caught and hurt....so if you get good odds I'd take a punt!

    Its do or die for Miranda at this stage and he has the stopping power. Bellew is good but has wins only over average fighters. Bet 20 get back 160 on Miranda by KO.

    If he can put Dawson down for 10 minutes in sparring, head gear and 16 ounce gloves, he should be able to put Bellew down for 10 seconds without the head gear and 10 ounce gloves. That of course assumes the rumors are true....

    Hmmm. No question that Miranda is past his best, but he's only lost to world class fighters and only been stopped by decent punchers. Bellew doesn't seem to have much power, plus he lacks experience and he recently lost to Cleverly.

    I expect Bellew to get the decison, but you can't rule out a win for Miranda who does have decent power himself.

    I think Bellew wins via KO.

    Watching the way Bellew has fought recently, I sincerely see him blowing Miranda out around the halfway mark. He's boxing with more patience, has good power and nice punch selection, Miranda cannot be the same fighter he was at middleweight with all that has happened since either.

    Bellew within 8.
