Mirandas has an AWFUL past

True...and sad. Tho inspirational that now he has definately made something of himself.

 

Miranda is the man, none the less.

 

You think that's crazy, you should check out Fernando Angulo's back story...his parents were abusive, so he ran away when he was 7 and lived in the jungle for 2 years, subsisting on whatever he could kill (or if the hunt went poorly, insects and snakes), and then went back and forth between living in the jungle and living in civilization (homeless as well) until he was 16.

 

atsch :huh :huh I know some real thugs and killer that don't go with out 3 meals a day , in-fact they have more money then I do working a 9-5..

Thug are people who shake the working class down for money in one way or another there not bums.
Mirandas was a bum on the street not a thug.

 

Kassim Ouma had a pretty intense life too.
Getting picked up by the militia in uganda at that young of an age.
ridiculous.

 

LOL waty to lay it down

 

Win or lose, I have a great deal of respect for Pantera. What he's gone through is beyond anything I could ever imagine...

 

I have respect for him as well.

Eating cats to survive:-(

 

hell be back, you heard it hear first.

 

Yeah, I have watched a few profiles of mirandas life, & as you say its very sad. Not only did he hunt cats for food, but he would live off roadkill, too.

& hearing how he would sleep in the boxing ring of his mosquito infested as a young lad & how the mosquitos would feed off his blood night after night leaving him in agony... Quite unbelievable. & what was strange was how he had never even seen a boxing match or even a boxing ring in his life but had a dream about fighting in one which made him seek out a boxing career, crazy stuff indeed.

But Achilles, be warned. Miranda is a Mayweather type character in the build up to fights, so you might go off him a bit if you see his pre-fight antics!

 

a lot of people wanted pavlik to beat him to a pulp mainly because of his pre fight trash talking. it's how the sport is though, if you want to make money for yourself. miranda from what i've read is good guy away from the camera, and always makes time for his fans.

pac is also another guy who had tough beginnings, along with ouma.

 

There are literally thousands of kids in Colombia that have the same story without the happy ending. Go to Bogota and see the street kids. It will tear your heart out.
