I havent posted in awhile... figured some of you may have wondered what has happened with Pantera since his disappointing loss to Andre Ward. As demanded by his fans for a long time now, Miranda finally made a move and fired Jose Bonilla as his trainer. He relocated to California and has been training with Joe Goossen for about 2 months. I have heard some great feedback from Joe and he has said Edison has the talent to be a champion, he has just been missing some key ingredients that Joe beleives he can fix. Time will tell if Joe (or anyone) has what it takes to get Pantera a win in a big fight. I am hearing a fight should be announced soon, probably with a late October date. With the help with Joe Goossen, hopefully we will see a refined Miranda. Ill be pulling for him. He has his limitations, but I still beleive he will find his way to win a title one of these days (hell, if Pascal can do it, why not Miranda? ). Good luck to you Pantera!
if he puts his mind to it he can definately do it. I've never been a fan but if he straightens out his punches and works on his handspeed (plyometrics or something i guess) he can win some sort of title. A guy like Stieglitz would be an easy mark if he really does improve
Sweet. Is he staying at 168? Why announce this so late in the day? I should have been in bed by now. Seriously, he just lost his cool/focus big time in the Ward fight. Just chucked the fundamentals completely. I hope the change of scene does him well....:thumbsup
Edison Miranda is of now a journey man... Or a gatekeeper to up and commers... He is done at the world-scene.
My word. Please stop. Pascal is ten times the boxer Miranda is. Miranda will never win a world title.
Thanks Hermit! I hope so too. Sorry for the late post, didnt mean to keep you up past your bedtime Just watching the latest football game in the histroy of the NFL and kinda enjoying seeing the Raiders of old putting up a fight! Oh, and yea, 168lbs.
Wrong coach too, I was never impressed with the Goosens. Nazim, Roach or Jeff Mayweather would have been better choices.
GO PANTERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happy:happy:happy:happy Happy to hear he picked up Goosen, im a fan of him as a trainer.... Im a Miranda fan till the end..... the haters can **** off. I hope he can make the necissary adjustments and become a more complete fighter, and would like to see him make some noise again.
