Abraham won because Pavlik softened Miranda up

It certainly exists. We've talked about that before. Certain boxers cracking another's chin permanently. Such as Tito vs Vargas.
What I saw last night, I have to admit I was shocked. I didn't think Miranda was going to out like that. Pretty much every flush shot that Abraham hit him with hurt him, as he either buckled, or in the case with the straight right, he went down.
Either two things happened: Abraham is very strong and his placement of the punch in combination with the strength of that right hand was that devastating that Miranda never recovered. Or, Miranda's punch resistance officially went down the drain that night he got ko'd by Kelly Pavlik.

I have to hand it to Abraham, he predicted the same from Miranda, stuck to his game plan and caught him as soon as Miranda got reckless. I don't think Miranda expected that type of power from AA, and he certainly didn't expect the punches coming out of that high guard, considering AA threw next to nothing the first couple of rounds. Sneaky tactic to lure the opponent in.

We now need Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham. I believe this will be a better match up against Pavlik in that Abraham likes to block off a lot of shots. However, unlike Miranda, AA needs to understand that Pavlik is a work horse that hardly ever gets tired. If you become a sitting target for him, he will throw at you all night. One thing that AA has going for him in my opinion, that may give Pavlik trouble is fast hands with good ability to counter off that high guard. That is one thing that Pavlik was getting caught with, if anything, against Jermaine Taylor. It was the counters.

 

Is this a Pavlik HYPE or what?



Maybe Abraham softened Miranda up for Pavlik. It was Miranda who gave Pavlik his first loss and beating.

Haven't you thought of that?

:yep :rofl

 

no one doubts such things as permanently destryoing a fighter exists, there are tons of examples.

but in this case it totally not applies. man, in his last fight miranda did alright, and also in this fight he fought like he always does. there was no difference at all.. but if you are open like miranda was, you get rocked. from this fight, even if pavlik permanently destroyed miranda (hahahah.. which is still a joke to me), you couldn't tell. it was not long enough, was not demanding enough and and.. miranda just ****ed up.

PLUS

if miranda should screw his next fights also, to me this is a sign of how one dimensional and b-class he really is, not of pavlik's ability to ruin someone's career.

According to your logic, Miranda should've destroyed Abraham yesterday because it was Pantera himself who put Arthur through a car wrack in their first fight, breaking his jaw and causing a loss of a bucket blood... The logic also fails when you watch Taylor almost pulling off a comback victory over Pavlik right after Kelly put him through a car wreck.

Who's softened your brain up, buddy?

 

Yet Jermaine Taylor performed better the second time he fought Pavlik.

 

this question was in the air from the beginning, nice it was finally asked :good

 

Pwnage.

 

t minus ten until first mention of meldrick taylor.

 

ad hoc explanations, faulty logic.
