    Now having 2 losses by knockout does that make Miranda damaged goods? Will he ever be the same or is he doomed to become a gatekeeper such as Judah or Mayorga. We all know he is exciting but after devastating knock outs im inclined to believe that he'd get knocked out again by a kessler or Taylor because it only gets worse after such punishment. Also it's clear that Edison does not know how to buy time or get out of trouble so im sad to say i think his best days are behind us.

    What do you guys think?

    Probably a gatekeeper from now on at 160 and 168, a damn good one though.

    You're giving Miranda way too much credit. Judah and Mayorga are former champions.

    He can still do good, not totally out of it. Pretty sure he can KO Sturm and grab a belt there.

    Sakio Bika is one I'd like to see.

    Alejandro Berrio is a prime example of a guy that's been knocked out more than once and is still able to be effective in this division.... Edison needs a better defense, instead of always trying to make his offense his defense... I wouldn't call him damaged goods.... He didn't lose his toughness or his power.. I think that he just got some work to do... He becomes a contender at 68... If he could make 160, he definitely stop Sturm.... And could be a player there... He can still be a player at 168...

    He needs to fight Bika.

    This is his very last chance and the best fight he can hope to get.

    Berrio would be very good too...two Colombians going at it...the one who loses is finished.

    That's his best chance to get a belt. But will Sturm fight him?

    :D Yup most probably not. Sturm is buying time and trying to avoid real competitions.
