Jermain has never been attacked by a fighter who hits that hard or with that much intensity...That is DiBellas fear..a just one at that
For a short term business stand point, Dibella is smart to stay away from Miranda. Why take the risk with a huge puncher when he can hand pick 1-2 more fights that he knows he can go the distance (ie Mora) and get the win (and keep cashing in). However, I can only believe these will not be exciting fights and Taylor's stock will slowly go down. In the long term he will have to face Miranda (assuming they both keep winning). By then it will be a much bigger and anticipated fight, and most likely big money. So... For Christmas I would like Miranda to KO Green and than Pavlik, and have Taylor beat up a few chumps and by the end of 2007 have a monster fight staged between the two. Now, is there a Santa Claus?
