I'm going with the slight underdog. I reckon Green will step up and prove himself against Miranda.

Yes McCrary nearly KHTFO but Green was caught cold and he recovered incredibly well seeing as he looked like he was unconscious on the way to the canvas.

He's going to be very wary of Miranda's power and he certainly isn't going to be complacent.

Green on a tough hard fought decision.

But what a potential fight!
CC, I agree... Thing is, that the resiliance Green showed against McRary, shouldn't mean a damn thing in this fight, because if Miranda has him as hurt as that guy did, it's over(that fight could have been over anyways, but Green wouldn't recover this time). I see it as Allan Green having to fight intelligently to win, personally. He clearly couldn't take one of Mirandas best shots. It's also really going to come down to whether he can make middleweight comfortably.. He's not one of those guys that looks huge for their weight or anything, he's pretty trim at SMW so Im wondering where the 8 pounds are going to come from.
s to ya's both. Good points.

Here's a little something I'm curious about from both of ya as far as Miranda is concerned...

Would you rather see him stick around at 160lbs or would you rather see him move up to 168 & then 175? Personally...I'd rather see him stay at 160lbs.

I know that's rush talk considering that he's just making his mark at 160lbs...but with Miranda's frame...he could move up fairly easily...but could he be effective is what I'm wondering?

Also...has anyone heard him say whether or not he has issues making the weight?

He seems to be pretty dedicated to his training regimen.

Anywho...that's plenty of questions all rolled up at once...anyone who cares to answer...hit me up with it. Like I said...for some reason...over the last couple of weeks Miranda's been starting to grow on me.
Pantera has said that he wants to stay at 160 for ever (like Hopkins, someone he has great respect for). I don't see this as being realistic though. He is a very very very big middleweight and he does have to work very hard to get down to weight. I have a feeling his goal is to get to Taylor and than maybe move on. Until he gets a shot at Taylor though he is not going anywhere!

He is very pumped for this fight against Green. His trainer, Jose Bonilla, said he wants to give Puerto Rico a great fight and an even better KO.

I see Miranda tagging Green pretty early and stunning him. Green will be on queer street and retreat. Miranda will trap him against the ropes and fire hard. Hopefully the ref will step in early enough and call the fight before Green gets hurt badly!
