First off, this was a brillaint fight, I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldnt believe two guys above junior welterweight were actually jus standing there and trading bombs.

The excuses from Miranda arent good, but he didnt give that bad an account of himself from a "future paydays" point of view. Everyone just found out that no matter what (seeing as Pavlik turned out to be the worst case scenario for him) the guy stands there and continues to throw bombs, can withstand hellacious punishment for 6 rounds and make a great fight.

Pavlik however was immense, Miranda couldnt cope with him constantly coming forward like a wrecking ball and thats all their was to it. He got a new fan (among many others Im sure) in me on Saturday night.

I personally think Pavlik bombs Jermain Taylor out of the ring if they ever fight. Others opinions?
