That being said, I don't really care that much about a Pavlik-Miranda rematch. Pavlik kicked his ass the first time, and would do so again in a rematch. Miranda is a big puncher who can't do much else.

A fighter like Kessler would smoke Miranda. If Pavlik moves to 168, I want to see him fighting guys like Kessler instead of Miranda.
I mostly agree, but will also say I will not write off Miranda against any fighter because he is tough as nails and he will land the right hand on them. On paper Kessler mops the floor with him, in reality though, it could go much differently.

Miranda is a wild card kinda fighter who could upset anyone on a given night. Expect to see many fighters out there avoid him just because.

It also would not surprise me to hear Pascal got "injured" in training for their fight.
