Nah Bruh . . . Miranda looked as if he is going to cry after the KD and he looked confused . . . if Green attacked him immediately after that the fight could have been over, but nah maybe STUPID Green thought he could win by just coasting along until the last round . . . so he got KDed himself and lost the fight.
yea i know not exactly...Let me restate it...They 'paw' their left to land that killer right hand...They all have good jabs hehe:bbb
According to Miranda's camp, he will be back in October at super middleweight , opponent yet to be named, and wanting another shot at Pavlik, someday.Being from Youngstown and a big Pavlik fan...I can't see it.
Miranda can punch all right. But so can most contenders. Most contenders have decent chins. Most are very durable, and can slip. block, pary, counter and fight. To be a champ --- there is more to it than just a punch.
I think his power is very legit. If his skills were better, his power would be even more pronounced. Which is why I think Jermaine Taylor is in real trouble against Pavlik. Kelly took Miranda's shots and hardly flinched. Not a good sign for JT.
I think that Miranda needed to be on the front foot for his power to be effective. He doesn't have the ability to counter punch and utilise that same power, or even close. When Pavlik pushed him back he simply could not handle it.
you said it. some people think kos only come from power. you can be the hardest puncher alive, if you lack skill, accuracy, timing and such, you will look very ordinary.
he's definitely got good power, KOing eastman aint no joke. hes got a lot of flaws though. he's always got his right hand cocked back waiting to unload, which his opponent can see a mile away. the only other punch i've seen him throw is that wide sweeping left hook, which again can easily be countered. he just needs a good trainer to get him a little more well rounded i.e maybe work on a stiff jab to complement that insane reach he's got, tighter left hook, throw more straight punches. i picked him to win against pavlik, and i havent gotten off the miranda express after that loss. as i've been saying boxing needs more guys like miranda. the guy fights anybody without fussing about money, and staying in there not quitting while getting his ass kicked by hard punching pavlik showed what he's made of. hopefully the guy comes back strong in SMW.
Overrated. He's got a good punch, but it was so far overrated from the Gibbs fight it wasn't even funny.
