What consequences? We all get picks wrong, nobody's a boxing prophet.

I wouldn't be shocked if Green caught Miranda and was able to hurt him, maybe take him out. I don't think Green will win a decision, I just don't think his defense or chin are good enough.

And Green may have looked like a monster at 162 versus the number one dad, but this is a totally different deal. And if Green gets knocked out on his feet like he did against McCrary, fights over. I mean that fight probably should have been stopped anyway but Miranda's a totally different type of finisher than McCrary. McCrary was undersized, slow hands, bad technique and not much power, Miranda's a whole different thing.

I just think it will be interesting cause Miranda can be hit on the way in and he can be hurt too, although it was against a much higher level of opposition than McCrary, but I think Miranda will eventually catch up to him.
CC, basically what I think.. Getting off the mat to win shows grit for sure, in general, but against a fighter like McRary you can't pretend that his getting off the mat is more indicative of his calibre than the fact he was out on his feet and so badly hurt against a guy so limited.
