CC mate....Miranda and Mugabi are very simular in more ways then one....

Both feared punchers early in their career...Both extremly dangerous in their offensive game and both hard KO punchers....both have big hearts and are willing to trade with anyone

Both also have poor defense...and both a bit too brave for their own good......

Mugabi was RUINED and I can not stress that enough...RUINED by Marvin Hagler...Mugabi took shots that were absolutely thunderous for about 3 rds after giving Marvin all he could handle in the first rounds of their fight....

Mugabis team should have thrown in the towel for him and he would have gone on to be more successful IMO....His chin was never the same after that fight.....

Miranda is also too brave for his own good and his team is also a bit too reliant and has a bit too much faith in his power.....

Edison has a shot at being champion for sure but one or two wars IMO he will be ruined like Mugabi was just due to his defense.....I just dont understand if everyone else can see why the hell doesn't his team make sure they do something about it?
His team is well aware of his defense problems. If you watch the Allan Green fight, you could see improvements in this area. He was moving well and keeping his hands up. Again against Porras he looked better. His fight with Pavlik was a big back step. His power was not there to save him and he said he had trouble moving his legs. He has been working hard in the gym on his defense so we should see a very improved Pantera on Jan 11th.
