    That is true about Abraham not fighting, and this being a reason his popularity has gone no where, but Miranda is the reason for this. That jaw did not break itself.

    Also you'd think boxing fans would be more vocal about how impressed they were with his heart if it were a legit victory. How great of a story would it be if Abraham came back from a broken jaw to actually outbox and defeat the strong and determined Miranda? The truth is, most believe Miranda was robbed in that fight.

      People who can't score fights thought it was a robbery. I don't always agree with you Kid but I know you're not a moron.. and I know you know how to score fights. There's no way you scored the fight for Miranda. I haven't watched the fight in over a month but recall I had Abraham winning by 2-3 points. Miranda could hardly land a clean shot when Abraham was only throwing 20-30 punches a round in the latter half of the fight.

      I forgot to mention the other reason there is more talk of Abraham is because the common boxing public goes crazy everytime there is a KO artist in their midst.

        As for a serious question, ask him if he likes tacos.

        Seriously, what can you ask Miranda beyond who he wants to fight, why, etc....
        True, he is the talk at the moment.
        But Googler ask me at this moment who is Miranda? So today, that's who he is!!!! It's boxing, things change everyday. Just wanted to give him an accurate answer at the moment.

        I guess for Googler it was bad timing for his question. Maybe his needs to hope things go bad for Miranda and ask me again than. Right now things are going bad for Abraham as he is doing nothing with his belt while Miranda is the talk if the town.

          I did refrain from saying I had Miranda winning it, I just said that most people I've talked to had him ahead. I haven't seen the fight in full, just highlights which were surely biased.

            I shall try to find you a link, good sir. I honestly don't know how a person can score the fight for Miranda with the point deductions. If they want to complain about the deductions, well, that's another story I suppose; though 3-4 of the points were definately deserved.

            I'm very, very leniant when discussing scoring and am always one of the first to say I can see how somebody scored the fight for the other guy... not in this case.

              You need to get a hold of the fight and watch it yourself. You can't listen to all the bs from both sides, you need to make your own opinion. I would be curious to hear what you think.

                Oh that is the issue entirely. Almost everyoner I talk to thought the deductions were bogus, not that Miranda STILL WON even considering the deductions. Damn, he have to completely dominate to still win on the scorecards in that situation. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant the deductions were inappropriate, and people have been saying that if you discount the fishy ones, Miranda comes out ahead.

                I still need to end up seeing that fight sometime either way.

                  The headbutt was clear and at least 1 point should have been deducted for low blows. The ones beyond that then the fight is close... I'll have to watch it again since I've got some free time.

                    I was impressed by Mirandas win Saturday. At least we have one middleweight with knockout power who is living up to the hype. (Jermaine)

                    Ask him who he would most like to fight next...

                      For a serious question, ask him the point where he knew he had the potential to become one of the best middleweights in the world. When did he realize "hey, I can be a champion someday"?
