You're absolutely right. That fight played out the way it did was because you had a man versus a boy in there. Jaidon just didn't have the strength, stamina, or chin to hang in there. Miranda does, and I don't think he lets Bika off the hook when he stuns him. Man do I hope this fight comes off.
Miranda wants the best fight possible. If he can fight Kessler or Abraham then he will fight them first. If those dont come about than Bika would be the fight. The problem is Miranda has a June 21st fight and Bika wont fight in June.
Can be in autumn, in winter, next spring, next summer...but this fight HAS to happen, the earlier the better!:deal It's one of the best 10 fights in boxing!:happy
i picked miranda . but my judgement could be clouded as he is one of my favorite fighters. but in reality bika will pose a sturn challenge and this fight is really 50-50 with the slight edge going to bika at 168. if this fight comes of miranda will prove he can compete at least with the lowere level top ten fighters
I feel ya giving respect where it is due to Bika, but like you I can't help but appreciate the **** out of Miranda too. And now that he has entered 168, ESB's favorite division, he's gettin mad under rated IMO, and I not only feel he would easily beat BIka (Jaidon had him on ***** steet several times in their fight), but he would hold his own with the big boys in 168 as well. I think it's kind of funny, cause NOBODY!!! wanted none of Miranda at 160 (****, even Pavlik had to be forced to fight him if he wanted to fight Taylor), and now it's the 168 crowd squirming at the thought of their man getting KO'd with one shot from a guy they like to describe as extremely limited fighter.
true alot of people are worried cuz all it take is 1 shot however i do feel if this fight gets made he'll crack the top 10 again and this fight would be a good mesuring stick depending on how he performs thing is he already beat greenat 162 wich is tech 168 . however i don't fee he's done enough yet to fight the top 5. if him and bika fight i would like to se him fight andrade or lacy next then Kessler i however feel MK would beat him badley . either way he's a good fighter and makes for intresting fights at 168 with any of the top 10
i I hear ya buddy, this would be fun. BUT, this so called "extremely limited" but popular fighter has reservations with HBO for June 21st. We all know HBO is the TOP American Network, so why aren't guys jumping at the chance not only for decent pay, but an "easy" win on big time network to gain **** loads of fans and exposure?? Also, if I may ask, let's say hypothetically that Miranda beats Bika in impressive fashion, then where in your opinion does he stand as far as the division goes and as far as "deserving" to fight guys that are now at a status that most describe that Miranda is "undeserving" to fight??
How is Bika the upset? Miranda's still "the guy moving up from a lower weight class" (Porras and Banks don't count, he hasn't been tested tough at SMW to this day), and it's one where he mounted an unsuccessful campaign, in so much as he never acquired a title. Bika's been in or around the top ten at 168 for a long time and been in against better opposition...and never beaten brutally and stopped in 7. :yep
