Thread: Who do you like: Miranda vs Green

Allan Green is the bigger man and he boasts an undefeated record. Miranda is still the stronger guy. I have heard people say that Green's is more polished and his skills may be too much for Pantera. Well I'll make no attempt to cover up the fact that I am a Miranda fan but trying to view it objectively I think Miranda may get popped a few times by the talented Green but Pantera has a good chin and eventually he will catch Green and end the fight early. I like Miranda in the 6th or 7th by KO.

What do you guys think?

My pick is Green UD12 but this is a top fight Joe Calzaghe should be taking note From these guys for making good fights

I think Miranda will capitalize on Green's lack of defense early.

Miranda KO 3-4 rounds.

Real nice interview.
Miranda should take care of business similar to Willie Gibbs. It just may take 3 rounds instead of one.
As soon as Green gets hit flush, his whole gameplan will go out the window and he will enter survival mode. Miranda will finish him off quickly.

Anyone who has ever seen Green fight knows this will be no laydown for Miranda. I actually like Green to win. I think Green hits harder than Miranda. Everyone thinks his chin is suspect because of a flash knockdown to a 168 pound fighter because he got too cocky and came in with his hands down. This is gonna be entertaining. Green by decision or late round TKO.

Calling McCrary a 168lbs fighter is laughable. He is a welterweight, just as he is fighting in 2 weeks.

I'd cc you if I could. You're right McCrary weighed in at 162, well shy of the SMW limit. What makes you think he's fighting at welter though when he's ranked at MW, and his opponent is ranked at LMW. Why would they drop down to 147?

The winner of this fight could be a good fight for Calzaghe both are worthy and Miranda would be a dangerman for Joe with the wild punches

Could happen. But it seems the likely path is the winner goes through Pavlik and than chases down Dibella and forces him to put Taylor in the ring.

I like Miranda by late round (T)KO. Green will win the early rounds by boxing and staying away from Miranda, but by the middle rounds Miranda will catch him good and Green will faulter from there till Miranda finishes him.

Green's chin is a bit suspect. I love his offense and determination factor , he can bang. , both these guys have the power and finishing qualities to dismantle the other. If pressed I would lean towards Miranda win by KO .

Look at the schedule on Fightnews. It says they are fighting at welterweight.

I really think this is going to be a outstanding match, I'm actualy more excited for this one then the cotto fight.
I really want Green to win but my gut is telling that as soon as Green does get hit flush a few times his whole game plan will go out the window like someonelse posted then he is just going to go to war with him and thats how he will get beat.

I'm not forgetting Miranda's lack of defense. If you have to fighters with non-existant defense the more aggressive (in this case Miranda) will win.
