Wacko's Drunken Round by Round of Edison Miranda vs Willie Gibbs

[Wacko3205]

I think Miranda has the power to knock anyone out, including Winky , Winky's problem would be commanding the respect needed to keep a guy like Miranda at bay. I see Miranda being very dangerous for Wright because of Winky's lack of power. I think that Miranda would walk thru Wrights punches and have the power to break that peek-a-boo defense. especially over the course of a 12 Round bout . I would favor Miranda in that match.

Oh bwoy...here we go. Lemmee take a deep breaf!

Totally disagree with you...100%...but I like your right up.

Lemmee counter that.

Wright's been hit by some of the heaviest handed fighters out there on his way up, he's never been knocked out convincingly, & he's also matched skill for skill with some of the most respected fighters in the game. Granted Wright has been beaten three times...but only two were actually convincing. The loss to Vargas was not a convincing one & they traded some serious leather. Of late that has become a habit that Wright has adopted to gain more fans...less tactical & more contact.

Wright's got the chin to take that approach. Miranda, heavy handed as he is was not able to knock Abraham out...he argueably stopped Eastman...& in my opinion...Wright's got the better defense & equally better chin. It's never wise to right Wright off...many have...& many have been surprised.

As far as the respect aspect goes...watch the Taylor match again...then tune in the Mosley fights.

Wright is an intimidating figure that is cut out when you hit the middle rounds. Power & skill goes out the window once the other opponent realizes that neither is going to work against Winky.

I'm not saying Wright's a world beater...but he's a class up from all the rest...he's as much of a step up in class as Miranda is a step up in power.

Miranda -vs.- Taylor = I would favor Taylor slightly over Miranda only because Taylor has the hammer ( power) to get that respect, and has the better overall boxing skills then Miranda . JMO

Although I like Taylor...he's proven one thing to me in the last two years...that he was better against lesser opposition...all of which had little to no confidence in themselves.

Miranda by shocking upset to everyone but me.

Taylor has a very weak defense if he has any at all...cliche as it is...his defense is his offence & on the backfoot...it's fwockin weak.

I no longer have faith in Taylor...no matter what he does.

Agree or disagree...let's talk it out.

I see Miranda's awkwardness and power diluting the technically superior Wright. I see Edison getting those power shots in, and I see Wright having trouble stopping those shots from getting in its easier to be technical fighter and have success when you opponent is doing things correctly. I know that sounds strange... but its true. when your opponent is awkward its almost a disadvantage to be a technical fighter . That being said , I think Wright is a brilliant fighter , not taking anything away from him

You really think that Miranda is awkward?

Interesting. I just think that he's ruff around the edges...sloppy. Awkward, to me, is Soliman...& he's just all over the place.
