    Im not convinced that Ward has the chin to take puches while comming forward but I am convinced that Ward has the pop to stop Miranda. Miranda will have to come forward anyway cause he doesnt have the reach. I think Miranda will be over agressive and get stoped by the 9th round.

    Actually, I think Miranda's chin will be confirmed and it's not so good. Ward with an easy mid-rounds TKO. I'll be surprised if Miranda does much damage to Ward, whose defense his MUCH better that Pantera's.

    It took the likes of Kelly Pavlik and Arthur Abraham putting him down several times over a couple rounds to stop him didn't it?

    First off Miranda did not attend the post fight press conference. The only words he said was in the ring after the fight.

    When you lose a fight, and especially as bad as he did, you sit with your team and try to figure out what went wrong. Edison said he felt great before the fight, but he felt unusally weak and tired very soon into the fight. He also said Abraham's punches felt much stonger than anything he had ever felt before.

    Others, not the 'team', started saying that using a nutritionist for a fight is not a good thing and it can make you weak if you are not eating the right foods. It was decided by the team that he drained his body of the proper foods to keep him strong. He looked absolutely incredible and made weight, but the strain of losing almost 60lbs that quickly and eating like a rabbit to do it, was a horrible combination come fight night.

    When you lose you need to make corrections in and out of the ring. Miranda knows his defense needs improvement and his works on this. But he also realized that going to Colombia and blowing up in weight and getting lazy was not helping his career either. So he has changed and made an improvement outside the ring to give him a better chance come fight night.

    Jose Bonilla, Edison's trainer, has said that if Andre Ward beats 'this' Edison Miranda than Ward is going to be a great champion in the sport.
