    Miranda was asked about this and he said he held his hand high to respect the fellow fighter for being a warrior and finishing the fight with such a brutal injury. It was not Abraham doings what happened with Neuman's horrible decisions and actions. He just did what he was told to do, make it to the end and he was guarenteed a win (as said by Wegner towards the late middle rounds.)

    You dont watch much boxing do you?
    All boxers show 'love' to each other after the fight and have respect.

    Look how Tyson treated Lewis before and after. How about Mayorga and Oscar? Cmon man, the hate disappears quick after a hard fought war. The bottom line is they are professional athletes and know how hard each other work to get to this level. Sometimes the hate is just for buildup, sometimes it is real. But at the end of the day, boxers hold a high regard of respect to their fellow competitors.

    Miranda should have been awarded a TKO victory when Randy Neuman took him over to the doctor and the doc said to stop the fight because of the brokern jaw.

    End of story.

    I've never seen it either, It should give me clues to how the rematch will go.

    Not uncommon for guys that have faught each other to pay respects after the fight is over. Happens all the time in all sorts of venues. Both things you mention are pre fight hype.

    Regardless of whether or not it should've been stopped after the broken jaw, it wasn't. Do you hear anyone saying Ali should've been stopped against Norton the first time after he broke his jaw?

    That said, Abraham did get a lot of time to recover although that jaw obviously didn't heal in the minute's break. Miranda failed to impress in the later rounds and lost most of the early ones, plus the low blow point deductions = a loss.
