Re: Wacko's Drunken Round by Round of Edison Miranda vs Willie Gibbs
s to all on the thread.
Now...here's my take on Miranda...I'm not anymore impressed with him than I have been in the past.
Totally expected him to blast Gibbs out. I like Willie Gibbs...a lot. He's a good guy & he's a decent boxer with pretty good power. Something that no one commented on & something that I saw...but thought that I was just drunk...or imagining it...he connected pretty well against Miranda & kinda rattled him.
Abraham & also Eastman have done the same...& IWO...this could be a problem in the future...but that can be said about most fighters at 160lbs...right?
Wrong. Here's my take on the possibility of Wright vs Miranda.
Miranda might MIGHT be able to stun Wright with his power...but he won't be able to knock him out nor will he be able to outwork Wright. At the risk of sounding cliche'...Wright is the true dark horse of the middleweight division...not Miranda...as I have said before.
Wright would frustrate Miranda as he does everyone else that he has faced over the years. Avoided by most of the talent in the division, Wright is a tricky customer & a tuff sell for most opponents. While Miranda might mince words & claim that he wants Wright...he won't in the end when it all comes down to it, nor will his power be accurate or focused enough to find a home. Sure I think that he will land some shots...but Wright will land more & control him with his jab...something that Miranda still doesn't deem necessary to use.
Anyone that watched the Abraham Miranda fight should have seen that.
Miranda's power will be a factor against anyone...period...especially Taylor, who was stunned by both Wright & Ouma. That says a lot. Taylor has answered all the questions about himself with a question mark instead of an exclamation point.
Miranda could answer pretty much every question posed by Taylor's doubters.
Miranda by knockout against Taylor...& rightly so.
