BTW, many pro athlets suffer from getting the flu all the time, especially those who make weight. If you haven't had a flu "all your life", you are either 5 years old, or a liar.
As I said, different styles can give fighters different kind of trouble. Forrest's style gave Mosley hell yet Mayorga's reckless style gave Forrest hell, it happens in boxing every time. Tomato cans can win fights, who said they couldn't?, compared to the big names out there Miranda is most definitely a tomato can at best. He will give you a decent test only to get KTFO or complete outclassed as the fight goes, that's it. Clottey, who I consider a gatekeeper, shits on Miranda in terms of boxing ability, chin, defense and movement. Miranda has no movement, no defense, usually off-balance, glass chin and poor skills. You mention the Eastman fight?, you remember what happened in round 5?, Miranda was ready to go from a single punch seconds before the round was over. So even his biggest win wasn't that good and Green was terrified from start to finish for unknown reasons and guess what?, Miranda kissed the canvas from a single punch there too. :rofl Toe to toe with Abraham?, are you even serious. The only time he opened up was when Abraham had a broken jaw and guess what?, even when he attempted to trade he was wobbly all the way to the ropes looking to defend his self using movement that would make a tomato can LAUGH. He did trade in the rematch, remember what happened there?, first solid shot landed and we had a long chain of knockdowns that gave us a demo of how Miranda looks when he's surfing. He was literally flying from one corner to another. I hope this post sends you back to your Miranda coffin, I have no idea why you came out anyway. :nut
Because he get's paid for it and with Miranda fighting for a world title in the not too distant future ... do the math. :deal
The funniest part of Uncle Oden's original post is that Dirrell is exactly the type of fighter AA has feasted on for most of his career; an unproven guy, not a lot of power, coming off a loss, et, et. Everything about Dirrell screams "Abraham Opponent."
i dont understand why people dont think boxers get sick too, then on top of that we have a bad flu thats going around..so if abraham is sick all i can say is i hope he gets better and for people to stop bitching everytime a boxer is sick or hurt.. as someone said above he did not cancel it he just wants to postpone it
:good I knew we had some unbiased and down to earth posters! Good job pavlik fan:good! Hope Pavlik kTFo espino and has a good fight against PW!
Espino would hand Shannon Taylor his ass. The guy got knocked out by Raymond Joval for Chirst's sake and his very next fight was a title shot against AAatsch Dirrell fits the Abraham opponent mold perfectly, and the idea that AA would duck Dirrell is ludicrous.
Guys like Abraham or Pavlik won't "duck" anybody. It may be the case that their management take strategic decisions not to fight this or that guy, but the fighters themselves won't run away from a fight. Dirrell can't hurt AA at all. He has a small chance to win a decision, but other than that...no way. Personally I believe that Dirrell will get KTFO for the first time.
