I have to say that Miranda again showed what he is as a fighter, a brawler that has limited boxing skills. I now see people saying he got knocked down because he got his feet tangled, well that is the problem with him I have been commenting on for some time. His footwork sucks and he is often off balance. Give whatever excuse you want but the fact is he got knocked down by Green a super middleweight that dropped too much weight and was weaker than he thought he would be at that weight.

Oh and lets talk about the great power of Miranda, especially on a guy that most on here and other boards was saying had a glass chin. The thing I thought highly of with Miranda before the fight I believe is suspect now, is his power real or is it hyped because of his competition, other than Eastman which I thought was a quick stoppage, who has he KO'd in his last 7 fights no one of merit. Other than the 10th round he never seriously hurt Green, other than the rabbit punches or low blows. I also watched the 1st knockdown in slow motion and he hit Green with 3 of 10 punches he threw. This is another I have been saying for some time, he is a very inaccurate puncher especially when he feels the other fighter is in trouble, he becomes more wild. Watch the stoppage against Eastman and see the amount of punches that really landed.

I am more confident now than I was after Miranda's last fight that Kelly Pavlik will beat him. He lacks any real boxing skills, is more times than not very off balance, only trying to land the big punch, and gets hit a lot. He had big swelling on both eyes from getting hit by Green. I feel Green has slight bit better boxing skills than Pavlik but not by much and he does not have nearly the power that Pavlik does.

Pavlik in a KO by the 6th, the only thing that will change that is if Miranda learns to fight with balance, becomes less wild, and learns some boxing skills over the next few months. I believe none of this is possible, a leopard can not change his spots, Miranda is who Miranda is a brawler that had a hard life and is entertaining, this does not make lasting champions.

One last thing, I lost some respect for him because he stated that he wanted to stay unbeaten, he still cannot give credit Abraham on his win. The guy beat him with a broken jaw, be a man and move on. Miranda you have lost and you need to accept it, you fought a dirty fight and lost points because of it. It was no different than the Green fight, points should have been deducted from Miranda for some of his dirty tactics but he was in PR and the ref did not deduct any points.
