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.
We usually agree, but not this time man. Miranda will rip Pavlik's head off and shat down his neck! I think he would stop Jermain Taylor late. Last night's fight was not the war I hoped it would be, but it was pretty good. Miranda pressed the action and Green just played it safe, rolling his head to the right side to avoid the right and keepin his right hand up to block the left. He also clinched a good deal. He did manage to land his left hook and drop Miranda, which I was not surprised by. BUT Miranda got up like a champion and tried to close the show like a champion. Did you see him in the last round when the ref would break them? Miranda was chompin at the bit and literally running after Green trying to KO him, even with the big lead. Miranda is a very hungry fighter and he is gonna be a world champion.
