Banks definitly seriously got turned off

Pascal looked like shit. Even before he got hurt he didn't seem as fast as I remember him seeming to be, not very crisp. And Floyd Sr. would say you can see through his chin.

I actually thought Pascal could beat Miranda but after that totally changed my opinion. Not even so much because of what Miranda did, although obviously the KO was impressive, but because of how bad Pascal looked, against a clearly lesser guy than Banks.

I have to admit I got a kick out of that one myself...Almost like he was telling him "After the way you looked tonight and the fact Pittman rocked you...You would be an idiot to fight Miranda right now...Thats just begging to be knocked out"....

Yes, that was great. Pascal is a fighter and as such had to preserve his pride somehow by least putting up a good front after the fight like he still wanted to fight Miranda. Ended up looking like an ass though.

Like ot see Pascal and Green fight.

Like to see Mundine get into the mix too he's a super middleweight as well.

PLEASE Miranda do not call out kessler X_X

Dude,you complain too much. Banks may not have been the best fighter in the world but 2 things:he had never been stopped and his style could have caused Edison problems.

I don't really see why Green should be able to get into the mix.What would Miranda gain from beating him??I REALLY don't see your logic.

What an AWESOME KO. I really really want to see Pascal get KTFO.He really has not done much at all,and fought nowhere near the calibre f Pantera.Win,lose or draw,Edison is ALWAYS going to be in esxciting fights,you can't ask for more than that!

Maybe because I see the event for what it is. What it was was easy matches(on paper) for both foes to hype the potential fight between them.

I'm all for big fights and knockouts but I agree with what wacko said, lets keep things in perspective.

Miranda beating Banks showed what we already knew, Miranda had punching power.

I'd like to see how he handles a situation that Abraham and Pavlik put him in to see any improvements, but as far as this match goes it was pretty much the same Miranda, brutal KO machine. Not that I'm complaining, but are any of us surprised?

I have seen a few Miranda fights. Not enough to make me an expert by any means, but he appears to have improved his head movement and defense. His punches look straighter and his jab is out there more. I think the Pavlik fight made him more cautious and patient in his attack. I think he on his way.

Some us must be. Since some of us were picking Banks to upset Miranda or give him trouble. I was not one of those.

One thing about Miranda, his right hand is sneakily fast and he will hit pretty much every opponent with it in any given fight. We know it has power so only guys with very good chins or great defensive talent will be able to beat him.

There are a couple of guys at SM who would be able to deal with him, a couple more who may be able too. For the most part though, I think he has a great chance at Super Middleweight. It is not really a deep division and If Jeff Lacy was able to capture a title, well Miranda certainly can also.

My friend,I have to disagree.I think in a few months times,168 is going to be THE division in boxing,along with WW.Look at the list of fighters here:

Bute
Pascal
Inkin
Froch
Kessler
Andrade
Lacy
Miranda
Pavlik and Taylor are going to move up eventually
Mundine

and a whole host of other challengers out there. It's pretty stacked to me and what makes it so intriguing is,unless Kessler is going to fight thse guys,we don't actually know who the best here is!
