Definitely agree about a rematch.
I do think Abraham won most of the early rounds, although it was more due to careful timing of his flurries than through outboxing Miranda.
Still he clearly rocked Miranda several times.
The only point I think should have been docked was one for the headbutt, two just made no sense at all.
If any of you have ever seen the first Beyer Green fight the judging and officials behaved in exactly the same way.
Green was fucking of Beyer big time, had dropped him 3 times and opened a huge gash over one of his eyes.
During a clinch also in round 5 he rubbed his head into Beyers face, nothing serious really just a typical Holyfield, Hopkins tactic.
The referee rightfully docked a point, then the doctor looked at Beyer's eye.
He said that Beyer absolutely could not fight. The referee had already ruled that the cut was not caused or aggravated by the headbutt but docked another point from Green and said we will go to the scorecards.
After literally 20 minutes or so of protests the German officals, actually the doctor if I remember correctly said that Green had to be disqualified, (conventiently because he was winning in all 3 scorecards, even in Germnay, and even after two points deducted!) so the referee disqualified Green
It clearly looked like Abraham and his team were looking for the same result, he got hurt, they wanted Miranda disqualifedm only here the ref docked the two points but said the damage to his jaw was not caused by the headbutt, clearly a true statement.
Abraham then relucantly fought on, it seemed as if he wanted to quit because between every round his corner were telling him not to give up, that he was winning the fight, etc.
And then he pretty much ran, and held his way to victory.
Credit to him for making the 12 rounds, I feel after watching it twice that the fight was even, although take a point from Miranda for the headbutt and Abraham wins it. But to take 5 pointsthat was just criminal.
Maybe the rematch should be in Peurto Rico or wherever Miranda is from. I'm certain if it was (yes I know it won't be!) Miranda would knock Abraham out.
Gotta say though this was easily my favourite fight of the year so far!
