    Miranda is coming off a nice TKO win over WBO #7 opponent. Cleverly, the current WBO LHW Champ is looking for an opponent for his Feb 25th bout. How do these 2 matchup? Cleverly doesnt have the power that has hurt Miranda against his toughest opponents (other than Ward). Could this be the right path for Miranda to look for his first championship win?

    Miranda can't beat a top boxer.

    I think Cleverly is good enough to outbox him any day of the week.

    Good fight, could see cleverly getting in his ass and winning every round through sheer work rate before Miranda knocks him out later.

    Cleverly is a bad ko waiting to happen.

    Would be Cleverly toughest test and one I am not 100% sure he could pass.

    dont know anything about Cleverly but I will say Miranda has never been any where near where he was prior to Pavlik

    Then Abraham II took the rest out of him, he gets a nice KO win once in awhile to reappear then loses

    If Cleverly stands there and lets Miranda fight his fight its anybodies fight but if he backs Miranda up or gives movement who knows

    Miranda showed tools in his last fight a left hook, body punching and an uppercut

    he relies too much on his right usually

    Yo' P2K! Your boy looked good the other night. (is he gettin' a receding hair line though? haha)

    She-it, against Cleverly, Edison might just finally get that world title.

    Very quick, with a good engine. Poor defense though. Like Spud says he's a ko waiting to happen.
