Does anyone else think Jermain Taylor might just upset Abraham?

Small point, but the first fight with Miranda was a questionable victory. If it had been anywhere other than Germany, Miranda would have got the nod. Watch the fight again and tell me what you think. Not that Abraham didn't prove a ton by fighting through the fight with a broken jaw. And Pavlik was the one who knocked Miranda out first.

I thought Abraham won the first fight by 4 or 5 points, I've not heard anyone really say Miranda should have won before. Pavlik knocking him out first is besides the point, Abraham beat him first with a broken jaw. If we're going to start trying to give Pavlik credit for KOing him first then you could equally argue Abraham KO'd him quicker.

I'll rewatch it. Maybe you are right. I remember thinking at the time that Miranda got robbed.

Its been a bit since I watched the fight, but if I recall Miranda had some low blow deductions in the fight that were questionable thus resulting in the loss. Can't remember if they were legit point deductions though
