Edison Miranda VS Andre Ward Poll* and discussion

woa people since when did a gold medal and wins over a bunch of tomato cans mean you were on par with 2 world class champions?... ward is no abrham and he is by and far no pavlick ...

i smell trinidad vs reid all over again ..with a not right ready for prime time young up start just being delt too much punishment then he can handle ...

 

Hey Brick -- funny thing is, Miranda's losses were not to technical boxers. Pavlik just went in and out monstered him. AA just waited for him to make a mistake, and landed his bazooka. Green got his ass kicked.

I'm not arguing with your analysis. I'm just pointing out the history.

 

Trash talking, especially done Miranda's way has nothing to do with a belief in God. He doesnt use foul language nor does he bring in race. He is just a confident guy that says what he plans to do in the ring.

That's my point. Being a techniqually great boxer is not the receipe to beat Miranda.

 

true true.

 

Andre is going to KO Miranda.

 

Either Miranda checks wards somewhat questionable chin or and imo the more likely outcome ward punishes him and then stops Miranda later when he runs out of gas and takes a slow beat down by the techincally gifted ward.

 

I have a feeling this fight could look a lot like Miranda vs Allan Green. I'm not sure Ward is ready. And he's not particularly great at any one discipline. Average handspeed, average power, just average everything.. Jack of all trades, master of none.. he just doesn't impress me.

 

Is Ward better than Allan Green? Possibly... but like others have said, skill doesnt beat Miranda.

 

Exactly how I see the fight!

 

I'm a little biased, but I see Ward winning this fight. It will, however, be an extremely interesting matchup of styles. Ward needs to avoid Miranda's power early on and extend the fight. He is definitely a more skilled fighter, but there are few in the game who have Miranda's power.

 

ill take ward for this one.

id like to see him succeed, ive been watchin him since the olympics.

miranda used to be a force to be reckoned with, but after getting ktfo twice, hes definitely lost some of that aura.

ward by ud.

 

I agree. If I had to pick, I'd say Ward by UD. I will say, though, that Ward is a client of ours, and when I heard he was fighting Miranda, I was a slight bit worried at first. I've gotten to know Andre well over the past few months, and he is a great guy, and a great fighter. And I do think he will win. But for some reason, when I heard he was fighting Miranda, I had this vision of Miranda unloading one of those right hands on him. All the respect in the world for Ward stepping up and taking this fight. This could be a huge win for him. Miranda is a well respected fighter, and dangerous opponent for anyone, because of his power.

 

Ward schools this clown and stops him.

 

So I guess you are saying Ward is better than Pavlik and Abraham?

 

Use that trick you used in the Green fight. Sneak into his corner and put an R on his left shoe and an L on his right.....
