Miranda is the fan favorite with like three guys booing him. King Arthur boo'd....looking ridiculously over tanned. I guess with Kelly Pavlik being so pale, he has to balance out the MW division in color.
I think 1 + 2 go together. He didn't know how to deal with an experienced brawler and thus he fell apart leading to the fouls.
This entire round is calm before the storm-esque. Abraham breaking out the turtle head defense. Miranda aggressive as usual. Abraham goes to the body but it's deemed low. Miranda lands more punches and takes round 1.
Round 1 ---------------- Typical high guard from Abraham Miranda gets him on the ropes, AA escapes Miranda right hand AA retreating mostly Miranda looking for body punches AA combination taken on the gloves AA on the ropes towards the end Not a lot landed, Miranda the aggressor 10-9 Miranda
