No,it isnt! Miranda wouldnt have survived 8 long rounds with a shattered jaw against Abraham. Abraham didnt knock out fighters with a record of 1-19 in his 17th pro fight in order to have a padded fight record with lots of ko victories in it. I dont intend to say that Miranda is a feather fisted fighter who cant crack an egg.He for sure can punch,too.However,I dont think that he plays in Abraham's league in terms of pure firepower.
Thanks Tom... I am sure it is not the IBF that needs to be convinced. Somehow Main Events will be have to be 'satisfied' to let the fight happen before their mandatory. But the is just a 'guess'. Hopefully Sauerland can pull some strings and do what it takes to make all parties happy and let their guy take this fight with Miranda first! :good
You really think that no "trained fighter " has ever won a fight by connecting with a lucky punch,dont you! Luck is part of the game -whether you are an amateur,a pro,or a part time boxer. Miranda coundt hurt his Armenian foe when he was running for his life trying to protect his totally shattered jaw.Not once! Slow motion revealed that Miranda hit Abraham exactly in that moment when he was opening his mouth to take a breather.Lucky punch-whether you like it or not!
It isn't? I bet if Miranda didn't put away a former lightweight S. Taylor people would tear him apart for that.
