The 60 second interview - Edison Miranda
Every week i buy Boxing News magazine and the page i always turn to first is the very last page.....The 60 second Interview. So i came up with the idea of sharing the interview with you lot, every week! Cos i'm good like that. ;)
So this is the first week and the interview is with Edison 'Pantera' Miranda 29-2 (25)
Age first started boxing: 14
First boxing memory: I had a dream about punching a bag. i didn't even know boxing was, really. Then i learned about Mike Tyson and saw one of his fights.
Inspiration: Tyson - he was the fighter that first made me learn all about the sport, and i wanted to be like him.
Motivation: I motivate myself. I want to be a world champion and the very best in my weight class.
Favourite all-time fighter: Muhammad Ali. He was the greatest. No-one else was ever like him.
Best fight you've seen: The first between Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo.
Pre-fight meal: Pasta.
What do you do to relax: I play dominoes or read my bible.
Pre-fight superstitions: I am a christian and do not believe in superstition.
Training in between fights: I stay in shape by running and hitting the punching bags.
Typical breakfast: I'm not big into breakfast. Maybe some fruit.
Toughest part of being a boxer: Definitely making weight.
Last book you read: My Bible.
Favourite film: All Wesley Snipes movies.
What car do you drive: I don't have a car of my own, so i drive my friend's car
Where do you train: School of sports gym, Carolina, Puerto Rico
Typical training routine: Wake up before sunrise, run for about one hour. Rest until early afternoon, then do 12 or more rounds in the gym - sparring, punching the bags, jumping rope or shadowboxing.
Toughest opponent faced: Howard Eastman. I have a lot of repsect for Howard, because he came to the US to fight me, and he never ran from me in the fight.
Supplements: None
What would you be doing if not a boxer: I do not know. Boxing saved me, and i honestly feel it is my destiny to become world champion.
Last place you went on holiday: Colombia
Best boxer in the sport today: FLoyd Mayweather. Jnr. My trainer disagrees with me, he says manny Pacquiao.
Favourite football team: For soccer, it's Brazil. For American football, Dallas Cowboys.

I'm the same bro I turn to the last page ;D if you go on the website and sign up then every wednesday you get a look at a number of pages for Friday's issue (though you can not read them) and also a look at the upcoming previews, who stars in the 60 second interview etc, it's pretty good I subscribed a while ago on the website and get an email every Wednesday. I noticed a few of the boxers have put "Read my bible" on favourite book section over the past few months especially David Tua, he is quite religious he said.
BTW Ono I'll message you later bro for a football chat ;D

Ok mate CC #3
I've noticed that a lot fighters are reluctant to put the guy who beat them down as their toughest opponent. Jermain Taylor was umming and arring about giving it to Pavlik. Miranda gave it to Eastman etc..
