You say step it up already and Miranda is fighting the guy, Willie Gibbs, that Pierre was beating on 2 out of 3 judges scorecards in the 12th round before getting knocked out.

Can you not give him the props he is due??

Pavlik is not moving up at least not yet, he wants the Middleweight World Championship.
How about you give Miranda props for "beating" Artur Abraham. Someone who was considered a "huge" step up?
Abraham was never placed as a huge step up for Miranda, I mean they fought a couple of the same guys and the odds were almost 50 / 50.

And that fight was not nearly as close as people who havent seen it are telling you. I have it on DVD and I though Abraham was winning convincivly without the point deductions.

And all that bullshit people are saying about the 2 point reduction. Anyone who knows abit of boxing rules knows that any intentional foul is 2 points deducted, not 1. Its funny because those same people admit it was intentional. Your boy lost a dirty fight that he chose to fight, he fought dirty because he knew he would get his ass whooped.
