I was actually disappointed in both of them to be honest. Allan Green proved he had the heart and mouth of an Audley Harrison, backing up his confidnet smack talk with a thouroughly lamentable display in the ring.
I was pleased to see Miranda try and press for every single round, you have to give him credit for trying but honestly he's too lacking in the skill departments to be able to live up to his hype.
Personally I think at 160 Taylor, Pavlick and Abraham all beat Miranda, and at 168lb I'd fancy Calzaghe, Kessler, Andrade, Froch, maybe Mundine and Bute too all to do a number on him.
He's getting knocked out by Pavlick in his next fight.
As for Green, I don't know what went wrong for him. His mind didn't seem on the job, he spent more time looking at the referee and his feet than at Miranda, turned his back to Pantera about 5 times in the fight and generally looked to have no fight in him whatsoever.
How much of that was due to the weight loss and how much due to AudleyHarrisonism I don't know.
But I'm fairly confident that neither will be a major player at 160 or 168lb for long.
