    I saw Zuniga vs Pavlik yesterday. Very unconvincing win for Pavlik. It was more or less a 50/50 fight at the time it was stopped by Zuniga's second in the corner because of a really bad cut that was caused by a headbutt.

    I mean i thought Pavlik was slightly sharper but still its the kind of fight where at the end you think "There needs to be a rematch" Definately Zuniga looked much better against PAvlik than Miranda.

    Zuniga vs Miranda would be a good fight to determine who is the best supermiddle out of Columbia. I would have it as a 50/50 fight.

    c'est pas un citron que Pascal va affronter en juin.

    The thing about a rematch is that BOTH fighters have improved quite a lot. It could prove to be a very interesting fight.

    Zuniga/Miranda would be an okay fight, but in my opinion Zuniga would simply out box Miranda all night.

    I would love to see Zuniga drop back to 160 and get a crack at Abraham.

    I don''t know.... I was ringside and by the fights end, Pavlik was landing many bombs that only an iron ching like Zuniga could stand up to- he was starting to take some serioius punishment and Pavlik that much better now...although Zuniga a bit improved also.

    :yikes Zuniga is no master boxer by any means he's reliant on volume plus his chin, really like Zuniga- a warrior.

    Yeah I like Zuniga alot. He has a pretty mean left hook and he floored kelly with it in like round 1 or 2. I would definetly love to see a rematch.
