Round 9 Bellew is chopping away with the right hand. Bellew slides his feet back as Miranda lunges with a right and connects but hangs slumped out of position as the price, Bellew digging in a nasty body shot before stepping around. NICE COMBO TO THE BODY by Bellew, left hook, uppercut, left hook. Miranda is jogging to his left, shaking off the pain. Bellew's body shots are BOTHERING HIM. Bellew walks him down. Miranda pumps the jab and trots to his left. LOL. Miranda trying to be an outside boxer. BIG ONE TWO BY BELLEW!! Miranda rocked into the corner. ANOTHER BIG RIGHT CROSS BY BELLEW! 1-2-3, hook to the body!! MIRANDA IS DOWN!! 9 seconds in the round!! HE STAYS ON HIS KNEE UNTIL THE COUNT OF SIX. He rises slowly. WAVED OFF!! TKO9!! BELLEW STOPPED MIRANDA!
Bellew will never be an elite fighter. Miranda has been done for years. It is official now. He is nothing more than a quitter.
:happy BOMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happy It wasn't his best performance by any means, but there were flashes of all his best qualities in small doses. The overall recipe was enough to take out a faded but still dangerous fringe contender. Nicely done, Tony.
I actually liked that performance from Bellew, sure he could have thrown more but he was very methodical. He broke Miranda down then when Miranda was fading he stepped on the gas and stopped him. These commentator's are frustrating at times because if Bellew had come swinging and got caught they would have called him stupid. Well done Bellew.
That fight was very shady. I wonder if Bellew took Miranda 9 rounds and Hearn told Miranda to go down in the 9th... Not surprised a promotion with affiliations to gambling is corrupt...
