In the 1st AA fight, he was better, more aggressive and had more confidence. And this didn't have anything to do with AA. He simply was unbeaten and thought he could win it all. Since then, he's on a decline...yeah, he seems to be "shot" (I hate the word).
He stood there w/ his hands on his hip posing like Superman and then proceeds to get himself KTFO. What a character.
Why? How exactly is a guy like Miranda supposed to make a living otherwise. no shame in being a journyman making a living.
Miranda has a reasonable name and fan base. People want to see him fight, well, at least certain people do. He can make money and retire comfortably with a little brain damage.
I think his technique looked to have improved. It's just he tried his new tricks against the wrong guy. He doesn't get ko'd each time, Ward by a decision.
He's an exciting fighter with a reasonably engaging personality and he's only lost to elite fighters. Let him take some time off and if the doctors say he's healthy, and if he's still hungry let him go!
