Edison "The Joker" Miranda strikes again!

I'll tell you what he should do...he should do what Bika did...keep a low profile, train his socks off and fight the best, sometimes at short-notice. Bika even entered the Contender to make a name for himself, and now he is working on a shot at Mundine.

This is how you call a Champ or top fighter out:

Sakio about Mundine: "He is very popular and he has taken the fight game in Australia to another level," Bika said. "But while he has got the name here, I have got the name around the world now so I'm sure it would be a big fight."

This is how you talk about a Champ or a top fighter if you are a promoter:

Bika's promoter bout Bika and Mundine: "They are two of the best super-middleweights in the world, and by fighting Sakio, 'Choc' could have a big fight in his own backyard and put himself on the world stage."

This is how serious, proven, non-jokes go about business, with respect!:deal

 

He is a ***** for fighting the best in the division, sometimes at very short notice, in their back-yard? atsch

Miranda will never have the balls to do it the hard way...like Bika; for him, it has to be instant success or he becomes hysterical!

And taking a cheap shot like that at Bika's wife is low...really low...

Bika's wife is an engineer and an executive with a big multinational, apparently. And just in case you are white and don't know it, many in Cameroon like their women to be plump/rotund...not everyone likes skinny chicks, you know!:yep

 

Asking Bute to step up is fair enough...he is a belt holder and should fight better competition. And Bute, disappointingly, but realistically, said he wasn't good enough yet to beat the best...at least he's honest and not delusional.

Meanwhile, Miranda, who is completely unproven at 168 calls himself "the best", whilst not having the courage to fight guys at his own level e.g. Bika, nor the insight to know he has a lot to work on if he is to have a chance of becoming a contender, like Bute, one day. And while Bute says he is not ready for a great fighter like Kessler, but hopes to be good enough to make a fight against Kessler competitive next year, Miranda calls Kessler all sorts of derogatory names...as if in doing so, he could improve his own performance by a hairwidth.

Miranda is just looking for the paydays...paydays he has done nothing to prove he's earned. He was lucky to be keps in clover by the American networks, he's lost every time he's stepped up and now he feels he DESERVES the big paydays against proven top competition. :roll:

:-( :-( :-(

Well, he's not kidding me!:verysad

 

Miranda struggled with Porras, didn't he? If he didn't have that punch, he'd be nowhere! Berrio beat some legit names at SMW, which is more than Miranda ever did. And I never recall Berrio being disrespectful about his opponents, calling them names either...not even when he held that vacated title.

 

He beat a finished Eastman, couldn't put a heavily injured Abraham away, beat a journeyman no one has every heard of, beat Allan Green - non Top 10 at SMW, and got KOed by Pavlik.

In other words, he beat a non top 10 SMW - not bad...but nothing to write home about - he wasted chances!

Clearly, not the kind of run that warrants those words thrown in Kessler's direction!:nono

Given the amount of opportunities he's had and blown, he should thank his lucky stars and keep his big mouth shut.
