Miranda's power wasn't the same because Pavlik put him on his back foot and Miranda doesn't know how to fight going backwards at all, didn't get the same leverage on his shots. Nothing to do with being off or some sort of excuse IMO. Miranda just looked bothered all night by the fact that somebody was coming at him, not the other way around.

I don't see him being a champion at 168 honestly, seems like a decent enough guy so I hope he does well but I just don't see it IMO.
