Same here. I didn't even hear the buzz about it. He won by round 5 TKO.
They showed it live on Eurosport. He looked good at lightheavyweight but we have to take into consideration the quality of opposition .
Miranda did something I havent seen him do before which was wind up punches ala Ray Leonard. It was a convincing display from a man who looked on his way out in the damaging KO defeat to Abraham . At light heavy there are good fights out there for him . He wants Taylor - Froch winner but I think Roy Jones would be a good fight for him .
Heard he called out the winner of Taylor v Fouch after the fight or rather read it on fightnews. I think Taylor would beat him the way he beat Lacy.
I just finished watching the fight. Miranda gets hit way too much for my liking. I was expecting to see some ray leonard but that was the worst SRL impersonation I have ever seen ;D Miranda was in there with a tomato can. I can't believe what I was hearing when the commentators were talking about Miranda blowing up to 224 pounds before his fight second with Arthur Abraham. I dont ever remember seeing Pantera that big. I don't believe that one for a minute.Quote:

The defensively minded Vegas gave it a good go and tried landing powershots on Edison but the outcome was inevitable. Miranda started the 1st pretty passively but in the 3rd dropped Vegas twice and also landed a cheap shot on the break.
The 5th saw Miranda batter Vegas in a corner with hooks and that thunderous right cross - the ref called a halt.
Hopefully he returns again sometime in the future as his fights are never dull.
60 pounds of ego that Abraham deflated perhaps?Quote:

Does anyone have a link for the fight?

Sad but true. Miranda showed up to training camp at 224lbs for the Abraham fight. I saw a pic of him. I will try to find it. He lookes like a damn gorilla. Huge!Quote:

He wants the Froch vs Taylor winner so seems to be aiming his sights at Super Middleweight. Glad he is as he adds to the depth of talent in the division.Quote:

Miranda is close to signing a deal to fight Andre Ward on May 16th (I believe Showtime). If this works out, hopefully it will help the winner get a shot at Taylor/Froch. This would most likely work out to be an elimination bout and possible for a BS title. So it would be at 168lbs.
