About Miranda/Pascal Fight Not Happening

HBO didn't approve the fight(because they thought Miranda would dismantle Pascal).

In hindsight seemed like a foolish thing to do.

 

Pascal shoulders didn't help either!

 

edit

 

pacal was terrified

 

IIRC, it's because Pascal kept hurting his shoulders, and by the time his health got back on track, he started to develop a legitimate following in Montreal.

Could be.I distinctly remember reading at the time HB O didn't want the fight due to Pascal's poor performance with Pittman.

Yup, Miranda looked spectacular and PAScal **** the bed. They didn't think it would sell. Too bad cause it would have been one hell of a coming out party for PAscal. That being said the rejection probably went a long way to Pascal growing as a fighter.

 

It was being built up as a good fight. There is a video on warriorsboxing.com at their 1st press conference when miranda walked up to the podium and push Pascal, nearly knocked him and the podium over. Miranda was pulled away and Pascal kept talking on the microphone saying 'Im gonna whip your black ass so bad" Funny as crap.

Then Pascal almost got KTFO by Omar Pittman and the whole idea went down the drain.

 

This was at the WBO convention in Puerto Rico before their ESPN fights

Yeah Pascal needed surgery on his shoulder (rotator cuff?) that took him out of this fight and a Zuniga fight IIRC.

It certainly was interesting to watch Pascal try to look tough after Miranda damn near decapitated Banks. The throat slicing gesture was a nice touch.

 

in the end who knows they could end up fighting
