Actually he did quit. Then he was convinced to continue. The ref waived the fight off, Miranda started celebrating, then they changed it and kept fighting It was garbage. Miranda freakin stopped him once. Abraham kept fighting like one of those karate movies where the mob has his brother, girlfriend, or sensay, at gun point and will kill them if you don't win the fight.

Not to downplay the physical sacrifice Abraham made, but he was forced to do it. He quit plain and simple. I am wondering if people forgot or just haven't seen the fight.....

That fight was fixed and Abraham got stopped. Anyone who thinks otherwise is full of.....

If Miranda didn't punch Abraham in the jaw he wouldn't have gotten a broken jaw. Seriously think about what you said.....

Abrahams punches had more effect Who went to the hospital?? Did Miranda kick him or something? If Abrahams punches were having more effect why didn't Miranda have a MORE broken jaw

I wasn't talking about the broken jaw. I was talking body language. When Abraham landed he hurt Miranda a lot of the time. Even with the broken jaw. Obviously the punch that caused the broken jaw was effective. Either of these guys could knock each other out, but i have to give it to Abraham because by the looks of how Miranda reacted to being hit.

Abraham quit, he was forced to continue and forced from his corner.

The referee was also stopping the fight but ringside officials interjected

Miranda kinda did get screwed over the first fight. I mean he was celebrating the win, then saw it snatched away from him while he had to wait almost 7 minutes for the fight to continue. He had to see the fishiness going on and it had to play on his mind and effect his game for the rest of the fight.

From what i am guessing, at first they seemed cool with the stoppage as they tried to contribute the broken jaw to the headbutt, that would have dq'd Miranda or at least get enough points taken away to secure it if it had to go to the scorecards. The ref said the Jaw injury was from a punch, so if they stopped it, it had to be called a TKO for Miranda. So they made him wait, and wait, got the ref to jack away more points and then made Abraham continue.

Very Shady stuff indeed. I think this is why Abraham is fighting Miranda again over here. He is a fighter himself and has a lot of pride. He knew what took place and wants to settle it properly this time around.

Didn't get what you meant at first but now i do nice witty joke some good rep for that.

why the f**k are there so many Edison Miranda fans on here??

Yes the guy is an amazing puncher who on his day can knock anyone out..

But its quite clear that the guy has a decidedly dodgy chin!!

Most of the time punches have got suspect chins or weak chins, Thomas Hearns, Nigel Benn, Julian Jackson, etc. Theres only ever been a few punches that have strong chins, Gerald McClellan, Mike Tyson, come to mind.

That is exactly what makes him exciting. He goes in there to war it up and let the chips fall. His fight with Kelly was a classic and he fought his heart out until he had absolutely nothing left.

He is cut from the same cloth as guys like Arturo Gatti. Always willing to give it his all. Abraham is doing the exact same thing. Both these guys deserve a shitload of credit as a win does not really help the winner. Abraham does not need this fight as he would be able to fight Pavlik regardless. Miranda does not need this fight because if he does win, he will still be a guy looking for a dance partner at 168.

This is a fight for pride more than anything. It is a risky venture for both without the offer of much reward.

See i said the very same thing about mayorga 2-3 years back.

When the guy is throwing he is unbelievably strong and has that predatory instinct to potentially become a great fighter.

But with that stance and that style your always opening yourself up to get hurt, mayorga is often like a sitting duck just waiting to get punched so he can throw back at you.

All im saying is that edison is always gonna struggle against natural counter punchers and will eventually come to a point in his career where to be the best he probably will need to change tactics!!

Bullshit he has a dodgy chin... He went toe to toe with Kelly Pavlik in a knock out drag out fight that left them both with facial damage even though he got TKO he wasnt sparked out by no means...

Where else has his chin put him in danger of losing a fight, Arthur hit him with plenty of Flush power punches the 1st fight and it didnt faze him......

This coming from a guy who says Hatton would buzz thru Coralles, siting the fact that Coralles lost to a guy that he never heard of (Joshua Clottey) though he neglected the fact that Clottey is a natural solid Welterweight with better than average powerand decent handspeed that could fight Junior Middleweight easily, and while Coralles is a natural 130lb fighter weighed in on fight night around the Welter limit Clottey hydrated up to 160 So for a Box Rec commando I dont put to much onus on his ridiculous comments of late

Miranda is far more skilled technically than Mayorga and there stances are NOTHING ALIKE, and is far from a sitting duck waiting to get hit so he can throw back, Seriously dude if you dont know anything about Miranda than you really shouldnt comment, since you look quite foolish to the ones that know the deal

Great laugh!
G-Man had a good chin when he was hit. Ask Julian Jackson!
