From what i am guessing, at first they seemed cool with the stoppage as they tried to contribute the broken jaw to the headbutt, that would have dq'd Miranda or at least get enough points taken away to secure it if it had to go to the scorecards. The ref said the Jaw injury was from a punch, so if they stopped it, it had to be called a TKO for Miranda. So they made him wait, and wait, got the ref to jack away more points and then made Abraham continue.

Very Shady stuff indeed. I think this is why Abraham is fighting Miranda again over here. He is a fighter himself and has a lot of pride. He knew what took place and wants to settle it properly this time around.
And thats actually more or less the truth...only that Abraham wasn't forced,but wanted to fight on...he later stated in interviews that he would have never forgiven his trainer if he would have stopped it...But even as an Abraham fan I admit that a fight should be stopped if somebodys jaw gets broken...

Yes the guy is an amazing puncher who on his day can knock anyone out..

But its quite clear that the guy has a decidedly dodgy chin!!

Bullshit he has a dodgy chin... He went toe to toe with Kelly Pavlik in a knock out drag out fight that left them both with facial damage even though he got TKO he wasnt sparked out by no means...

Where else has his chin put him in danger of losing a fight, Arthur hit him with plenty of Flush power punches the 1st fight and it didnt faze him......
A come on...I haven't seen that many Miranda fights,but he was wobbled pretty bad by Eastman in rnd 6...Abraham wobbled him a few times...Green put him on the canvas and Pavlik knocked him out...At best Miranda got an average chin...
