Unless Miranda has done something to improve his boxing skills he is about to get another boxing lesson. Ward knows what he has to do to win and I believe he will do it.
And likewise... Miranda's not got the greatest beard and his defense is ****; he got nailed with a punch that looped in from outer space in his last fight against Abraham. Ward's got fast hands and throws straight, clean punches... and while Ward isn't known for his power, there are no guarantees that Miranda is capable of taking too many flush shots.
The beginning of the end in that fight was from a short, straight right. I don't think he ever recovered from that and AA was able to do the wide stuff after he had him hurt.
I repeat again, I'm not talking about Miranda being ripped, I know that's not what wins fight. I just think he looks healthy and that the weight should not be an excuse this time around if he loses. I don't know why, but when I looked at his pics after he lost to Abraham he looked a little dry.
