Was Miranda's power overrated?

Miranda undoubtably has great power, however that can usually be neutralized with great boxing skills.

 

no, the guy has great power. Never saw the first fight you are talking about, but Green stayed away from him the whole damn fight and still got knocked down. Green just wanted to survive and not win.

 

THE whole fighter was overrated.

 

It can't be explained any better than this

 

Yeah Green STUPIDLY stayed away from him the whole fight and fought very passive . . . that's why Miranda won.

. . . if only Green fought actively and aggresively Miranda couldn't have recovered from the KD. He looked completely STUNNED and LOST after the KD but the LAZY Green gave him all the time to recover.

 

It's good to know that there are people here with good boxing knowledge:good

 

When you get hit by a punch like that then usually you have this feeling that comes over your body known as Fear. Green was shitting his pants...The power of Miranda's right hand definitely needs to be respected, but guy is sloppy and doesn't know how to box just land the hammer. I hope he looks better at 168 and with such freakishly long arms I don't know why he doesn't have an unbelievable jab you'd think that would be their weapon of choice....I could see Emanuel Stewart Trianing Miranda...

I don't know if any of you notice but Stewarts fighters all have the same style, their knockout punch is their right hand, they pitter patter the jab alot and circle around the ring without throwing many hooks all straight punches.....Wlad,kermit,Taylor..Miranda would fit right into the bunch.

 

If Green had fought him more aggressively, it's likely Green would have been KO'd before he ever KD Miranda. And Miranda wasn't hurt, clearly just off balance. He was up immediately and fighting immediately.

 

When Miranda tries to hook with those freakishly long arms he looks Dreadful in doing so..This guy needs to be trained to throw nonstop straight punches with a piston like jab and a counter right cross..Then we'd be talking $$ But I doubt Miranda will change trainers being that his trainer is like a father to him.

 

Miranda will bounce back, hopefully they find someone to utilise his physical abilities with a superior skill set. The guy has an awesome long jab and needs to develop better timing, defence and footwork and I think he'll easily be within the divisions elite.

He'll always own a guy like Green. He has the power, just lacks the skill to set it up properly.

People who think he was a hype job need to look at his level of competition, he was one of the few fighters currently who'd literally sign to fight anybody and I mean back to back and never ***** about money.

 

There is absolutely nothing overrated about a boxer who can shatter a mans jaw and make him require a bazillion screws to reconstruct it. Miranda has UNBELIEVABLE power with 0 technique...If he had any kind of technique his power would Multiply...

 

The power is there but the lack of overall skill was apperrant during the Abraham fight.

Eastman also showed that Miranda can be hurt.

 

he has great power stopping iron chinned eastman
breacking abrahams jaw in 2 places.

he has a stunning one shot abilty. he is just an untrained fighter thats all not overated just not perfected.

look at sam peter we all knew his awful boxing abilty but after the toney rematch we saw a jab ,the abilty to turn southpaw and a streight punch...he even danced thats amazing with only a 1/4 year to change from hammer to tanker.
or even juan urango.light welter who before was a tyson moniker with awful movment and tools. but look at him against hatton and he improved.

miranda should of got back in the ring and totally oblitarated a super middlewieght.

and good call by jecxbox saying manny.s as his trainer he would be a perfect choice. long reach ,rather tall,right hand and fighting instincts. tommy hearns in colmbian form if he had trained by any us trainer.

but the jab comment this is the man who has coached tommy hearns maybe top 5 jab of all time,wlad klit who is a great jabber,

and forget the left hook.hearns and wlad have great left hooks(espeacially the left hook to the body)
