Wacko's Drunken Round by Round of Edison Miranda vs Willie Gibbs

[Bx730NY]

I'm not a huge Miranda fan...but that was fun.

Here's the thing...if he wants to hanger a new fan...do what he did tonight to Gibbs...but do that S*** to Jermain Taylor.

I want to see how Taylor handles adversity & power like that.

Taylor boxes on the backfoot like he did against Wright & Ouma...Miranda will knock him out.

Wacko-
Eventhough I was at the fight, thanks for doing the RBR for those who couldnt see it.
And does it seem like Miranda is starting to grow on you just a little?!?!?

He really is a great guy and good for boxing, brings excitment.
I talked with Jim Lampley after the fight. In his opinion 'Abraham beats Taylor and Winky, and Miranda beat Abraham'.
Just an opinion, but I found it interesting that he thinks Abraham and Miranda are better than Winky and Taylor.

I think he was just trying to make you feel good. Cuz it's not something he would say in public. I'll take Miranda over Abraham (who I think lost the fight) and Taylor. But I think he'll have the same problem Trinidad had against Wright

I don't think it would be the same as with Tito cause that was not the same hungry young Tito of old. Miranda is still trying to prove his point and fights aggressively all the time like Tito used to. Another difference is that Tito has always been very clumsy on his feet and Miranda, although I wouldn't say he has great balance, is a little more steady on his.

So you think Miranda could win? Why didn't Tito just let his hands go against Winky?¬

I don't know about Miranda winning but I just don't see him getting completely shut out. I wish Tito would have let his hands go but 15 seconds in, I knew he was in trouble. Every time Tito stepped in to throw his shots, he stepped on Winkys foot and seemingly turned his ankle a bit and when he tried different ways around it, he just played into Winkys hands cause it took him too long to set up to punch and Winky just took advantage of it all night.
