Why were they throwing things? You hear/see any racists?And indeed I agree,the jusges would have been killed,and I think Miranda was a very very brave fighter for taking the fight and he did not seemed fazed by the crowd at all! Did you fly out to see the fight?!

And dam right,Miranda needs a nice hair cut!!!
The fight was in Wetzlar, a small town that was once run by the Jews. During the War it was destroyed by the Nazi's. Like many small towns who do not have the exposure of tourism, a lot of the 'old' ways still run strong in the local's blood. So yes, I did see racism in the town when Miranda was walking the streets. Nothing direct but some strange looks. And to honest with you, I never saw another black person in Wetzlar and only a handful through most of Germany. Some of the more friendly people told us about the town and that many of the people there do not like Jews or blacks.

At the fight, there was not one fan of Miranda. People were yelling and screaming things, but being all in German I understood nothing. I can only assume they threw things since the ref made Miranda look so dirty in the fight and they probably blamed that on why their Abraham hero got so destroyed. And you really have to understand Edison to know why he was so unfazed. I really do not think the fear that most people have exists in his body. He has been through so much in his life and has a strong belief in God. He feels that God has a purpose for him and there is nothing that he will ever do that will give him a feeling of fear. Even right after the fight, Miranda had a big smile on his face and pointed to the sky as if to say, "Don't be upset. God has a purpose for me." He really is a good person. He just has a great sense of humor and likes to speak. Sometimes after the interpretation, he comes off sounding too strong. But he really is just trying to have fun and sell the fight!

Here is a pic of Miranda right after the fight with Abraham. You can see the big smile on his face. You would never guess he just got the Middle weight belt stolen away from him! Oh, and yea. He got a haircut right after the fight as you can see against Gibbs.
