i jus hope miranda ko's pavlik n taylor. and eventually gets a shot at someone like calzaghe. that would be an awesome fight, by then miranda would have plenty of fights under his belt. he'd have fought dangerous opponents consecutively. he also has a punchers chance and can box a little too with a long reach (jab). overall, a very dangerous fighter.

this guys for real. old skool, he'll fight anybody anywhere anytime! and often! he fought eastman, abraham, gibbs, green and now in a months time he is fighting another very talented undefeated fighter in pavlik. this fight will give the winner a title shot. i just wish miranda gets to taylor before calzaghe, cos i want calzaghe vs miranda cos i want calzaghe's a** beat...and badly, and miranda is the guy with the tools to do jus that!

To be honest I dont know if he's getting by Pavlik, who can box pretty well and has the ability to cover up and land a good counterpunching attack on his opponents. Because of this I think Miranda is going to have a lot of trouble beating Kelly. If he does, I think either Jermaine or Joe would straight out just completely fuck him up. Edison has a great offensive attack, but both Calzaghe and Taylor have great boxing/counterpunching skills to trump it. Edison Miranda often doesnt defend himself when he goes on one of his offensive rushes and that's where I can see him getting lit up really bad when a good defensive opponent counters this with some slick footwork. Also his straight-ahead, bull-charging style doesnt bode well when matching him with more defensive and strategic counterpunching fighters like JT and JC; whom i can see luring Miranda into chasing them and coming straight at them then moving and counterpunching the daylights out of him all night long, as I really dont think he know any other ways to box than the straight forward bullrush style he has shown us so far. Miranda needs a lot of work on his defense and keeping his hands up. Only experience and more training are the answer to this as he is not ready for fighters like Joe Calzaghe or Jermaine Taylor yet. I like Edison Miranda though. He is exciting to watch though, and I think his upcoming bout with Pavlik will be a really exciting fight. Can't wait to see more from him.
