*Breaking News* It's OFFICIAL - Miranda vs. Pavlik on May 19th on HBO*

I can't wait for this fight. Everyone will finally see what i've been saying for a long ass time. Give him a shot at anyone and they will drop. HE HAS WAY TO MUCH POWER IN BOTH HANDS. He writes with his left. People get ready, and believe the hype. There is a good video on youtube that shows both knockdowns of Zertuche. I didnt realize how hard he actually hit him in the 1st knockdown, but watch the video and you'll see. It would be cool if someone could post it.

8) I saw Pavlik fight a guy from Mexico Just recently the guy from Mexico had not ever lost but moved way up in weight to take this fight with not much time to train for it. Well I was suprised he was able to hit Pavlik and it went into past the middle rounds before Pavlik stopped him. Also Pavlik was in great shape he said before that fight.This fight was the under card of the Arce fight at the OC Pond did anybody see it? Pavlik wasn't empressive not at all to anybody sitting around me anyways infact both fights stunk! I think if Miranda lands his shot he will stop Pavlik who stands right infront of his opponent to get hit and he better not do that against Miranda early as he did with this other kid or this will be and early fight. After he mentioned he wanted Taylor Pavlik better not even think of taking on Taylor or Wright!8)

I...if you deny that, you have no credibility in my eyes.

If Pavik has enough chin and heart to take some shot and keep throwing, we'll get to find out if Pavlik has power that translates against a real opponent. Green froze in his tracks as soon as he tasted Miranda's right and basically stopped throwing. As soon has as he threw, he got hit and hurt. I don't think the same will happen to Pavlik. I think he will throw back, but that could lead to him getting hit...potential early night. To me, it's fascinating matchup. I like both fighters. I've been wanting to see Pavlik fight a decent opponent for a while and that time has finally come.

I think the question you need to ask can Miranda take Pavlik on the chin. Miranda has been knocked down by weak opponents before. So think can Miranda take Pavlik's two hand arsenal. He hits just as hard with his left as the right.

I've asked that question. Miranda has never been KO'd. He's been knocked down, sure, the knockdown against Green was flash, and at that, I'm not sure you would call Green a "weak" opponent. Honestly, Pavlik has probably never fought anyone as good as Green.
Still, I think that with SKILL, Pavlik might stand a chance, maybe even have a good chance, but please, don't try to say that Pavlik's power will be something new to Pantera. Pavlik has fought sparring partner's compared Pantera's resume. That's not even up for debate.

I think the key thing here is Pavliks stamina, and I say this cause like I said before he starts to slap not punch by the 4th round you'll notice this.

If this fight goes past the mid-way point look for Pavliks stamina to go down and be the determining factor of the fight.

The only opponents I give credit to Pavlik for are McKart & Zuniga (and Zuniga is just me being nice)

Pavliks gonna find out what a difference levels of competions make.

DID you even catch the Abraham fight were Arthur backed him up at will it frustrated him so bad he started being cheap. Wow I want to be his fan too. Eatman hurt him.Green hurt him.Pavlik swats harder than Green and is highly skilled. Yes Pavlik has a good chin too. What makes you think that Pavlik cant back him up and put him on the ground.

Watch May 19th and don't forget your to bring a pen and paper, you will be a more educated fan after this one.

Hope Miranda brings his interpreter to tell him he's gettin a a$$ kicked...

If you are American you root for your hometeam......If you dont like the hometeam then get out of the stadium.
