One of my favorite fighters lost recently aka Barrera, did you see me making any excuses ?? nope i made a thread giving Pacquiao his props. I can understand Miranda is your favorite fighter and you had to take time off Saddo's when he lost but jeez Pantera i thought you was better than this, all these petty excuses are just making you look like a fan boy. And saying Green's health problems wern't as bad, when Green had to have surgery and it was a legitimate excuse, is quite shocking from you Pantera.

I am saying that on fight night Miranda, too me, was in worse shape than Green. S***, if Allan was so damn bad off than why did he fight one more time before he had surgery?? I was at both fights... I have been to all of Miranda's fights. Yes, fair and square, he got in the ring and took an a** beaten from Pavlik. And I am not saying he would have beaten him in any health.

I'll I can tell you is what I saw first hand, and Miranda was not himself that night in Memphis.
Miranda dominated most of the fight and knocked Green down twice in the last round. Green mentioned afterward that moving down to middleweight was a major factor in his lack of aggression. He did, however, manage to floor Miranda in the eighth round, but failed to capitalize on the opportunity. Green stated his intentions to remain at super middleweight after this fight.

Green returned to the ring in July of 2007, disposing of Darrell Woods in one round. Days after this win Green underwent major surgery to remove 85% of his colon. Green has stated that the illness caused him problems as early as the Miranda fight.
