Honestly I still feel the same. I think it's a misconception that I am anti-Bute, I've said many many times that he's the second best fighter in the division imo. Like I said, it would take the one special shot. I even predicted a later round stoppage.

The fight really didn't go much differently then I anticipated it was just the chin of Miranda is shit. Previously, with the exception of the second AA fight (and AA has special power, much different then Bute), the only times Miranda had been KO'd was when he was worn down first.

Still though, he doesn't have an inside game which is a bit worrisome especially with Ward in the division. I was hoping to see him tested a bit more with Miranda, he took a couple right hands but nothing extremely clean and now that Pavlik lost it doesn't look like he is going to be tested in the division until the tournament ends or at least the first round ends.
