I am not ashamed to admit that I am a big Edison Miranda fan. I picked him to beat Pavlik by KO somewhere around the 4th or 5th. Boy was I wrong. Pavlik fought a great fight and he was the better man tonight. I think Miranda probably mouths off a little too much but listen at least the guy backs up what he talks. He stood and traded with Pavlik.....it just so happened Pavlik got the better of him. There are tons of Floyd fans who think he's the greatest for talking crazy amounts of trash then doing very little to back it up. Unless you think massacring De La Hoya = dancing a pitter patting your way to another win. I am no less of a Miranda fan after watching tonight's fight. He did what he always does, he stood and fought....it may not have been the smartest decision but it was the ballsiest one. Pavlik had the superior game plan and he beat one of the best Middleweights on the planet. This should be seen as a huge accomplishment for Pavlik not a huge dissapointment (although it is a temporary career setback) for Miranda. I truly hope that Pantera will rebound strongly and work himself back into the title picture because there have been very few fighters in the last few years who have captured my attention the way he has. It's tough to watch your favorite fighter get knocked out.......good effort and good luck Pantera.
