Miranda Stops Vegas in Five at The York Hall in London

By Mark Vester

Super middleweight Edison Miranda (32-3, 28 KOs) returned to action at the York Hall in in London, England and stopped Joey Vegas (11-5-1, 4 KOs) in five bruising rounds. Miranda came out in the first with the work "knockout" on his mind as he came forward and threw power punches with Vegas trying to stay away and looking to avoid anything coming his way.

In the third, Miranda nearly put Vegas away with a barrage that sent him down twice. He was able to survive but could not get away from another barrage in the fifth that saw the ref step in and stop the action.

The win is the second of 2009 and the second since last August's knockout loss to Arthur Abraham.
