Andrade vs. Miranda, who wins and how?

dont let mirandas dark skin fool you farmboxer, miranda is 100% cuban:good

 

Colombian.

 

right, point is he's 100% spanish. unless you wanna get technical and refer back to the depsersion of african slaves throughout the world during the slave trade, then i guess you can make a case about him being black.

 

Andrade by tko in the middle rounds. Miranda is done.

 

he's 28 years old in great physical shape with no history of serious injuries. in what way shape or form is he "done"??? becuase he has losses on his record? the things people say when a fighter loses:-(

 

Miranda is "done" until he wins another "big" fight. Then he'll be back in the mix again. That's how it works in boxing. You're only as good as your last fight.

 

Unless your last fight was against a total piece of garbage like Francisco Sierra, in which case how good you may have looked needs to be put in perspective (with a grain of salt on the lens). :yep

 

Come on man...

He's hispanic because he speaks spanish (from a spanish speaking country). He's not Spanish, that's someone from Spain. He's also clearly black.

 

Miranda is not a good boxer at all. What gives you this idea? He goes to war with everyone he fights and gets tagged easily.

 

:deal

 

Wow. Never said he was a good boxer. I said he was a better boxer then Andrade. By virtue of the fact that Andrade has a disorder that if he blocks punches with his arms, they get numb. So he has to roll punches with his face. Thus automatically making Miranda a better boxer.

 

He's clearly not as hungry has he once was and for a guy like Miranda to be succesful, he has to have that edge. Maybe he could find it back but I doubt it. He can go on beating on some bums but he will not make it back to what he once was. That's what I mean when I say he's done.

 

this is the dumbest thing anyone has ever written, he's not CLEARLY black. there are many spanish people that have dark skin and fine hair including cubans, puerto ricans, brazilians, and dominicans. there is nothing african american about edison miranda. the only thing BLACK about him is his skin, not his heritage. do you think dark skinned haitians are black too? or do you think they're just black people that speak french? you need to polish up your knowledge of different cultures.

 

Well, you hit the nail on the head earlier...most Caribbean cultures were impacted by the same north/east African slave trade that supported the U.S. Dark skinned peoples from those cultures aren't "African Americans" in the widely used sense of the word as meaning "black United States citizen" (although technically, African American would still be accurate as South and Central American people are technically every bit as "American" as people from the U.S., Mexico, or Canada...) but you could certainly call them "African Caribbeans" or African ____ (insert whatever; Puerto Ricans, Argentinians, Trinidadians etc.)

Really, outside of Brazil, people south of Texas have three primary ethnic sources: Europe (particularly Mediterannean Europe; Portugal and Spain), the Americas (as in native/indigenous peoples....although there are virtually NO "pure-blooded" specimens left and haven't been for generations), or Africa. Usually a mix of two - or all three. Brazil's a bit more diverse...you find sizable immigrant communities of everything from French to Japanese there, and of course these have added to the diverse ethnic make-up of mixed-blood Brazilians.

Miranda's ancestors almost certainly come from Africa at some point. You may have to go back a few centuries, but he didn't get that skin from any indigenous tribe, or from any conquistador Spaniard.

Haitians are pretty much black people that speak French. The fact that they've called Haiti home for a long time doesn't negate that.

 

well thats my point, miranda's african ancestry would probably have to be traced centuries ago. but its definitely possible for miaranda to possess the features of his early ancestors despite having a spanish family. if miranda's great great great grandparents were dark africans and the rest purebred colombians, the chances of him possessing african type features are slim to none. which brings me back to my previous point, that its not impossible for miranda to inheret these features despite having a family tree thats dominantly spanish. its all about heredity, his early ancestors probably had such dominant genomes that they were able to pass down through his family throughout many generations.
