This is how you beat someone with a broken jaw

[BrooklynBomber]

The head butt was flagrant but in the same token some people are reacting as if it was to the jaw itself. It does appear to me that it was a head butt to the back of the head. I think Miranda's biggest flaw was, as has been said, not cheating more subtly like Hopkins for instance. Many fighters are dirty.

His lack of discipline and ability to make a plan on a go would be his downfalls in the future, when his next opponent is not gonna fight his fight, and will fight smartly, Edison will be in trouble.

Again, if I was Miranda's trainer, I would at least teach him on how to come in with a jab and find a distance.

Guidance can curb lapses in discipline. A good trainer, a steady influence could change that. I'm not saying anything will, but Miranda is young enough to adopt a more even ring temper.

Nothing Miranda does is pretty. Unfortunately nothing Abraham does is pretty. When you put too guys like this together it tends to become a dirty rugged fight. Mirands has so many flaws but hes got the power to beat anyone in the Middleweight division. Id like to see him fight Taylor because itd be entertaining but i dont think Taylorr looks at Miranda as a big time fighter enough to give him the chance.

Who has Edison Miranda ever beaten that would make him deserving to fight the linear middleweight champion???

He stopped the same old Eastman that Abraham and Hopkins couldn't stop, and Taylor ducked. Abraham won a very close decision.
He went into Abraham's back yard and destroyed the man's boxing career. In most North American's eyes he was robbed and won the fight. He than disposed a decent, not great, fighter in Willie Gibbs in one round (what more could have he done?).


So that's what he has done. Now you tell me another middleweight (other than Winky) that has proven more....

[Pantera2000]

Face it, you only support Abraham for one reason, and only me and you know that. (would not want to hit your nerve)

Miranda broke Abrahams jaw with punches. Edison was ROBBBED that nite. and the ref wanted to stop the fight. and that would have meant a TKO win for Miranda!!

the judges and the official and the Dr's were paid to carry on so they could stretch out a hometown decision.

Please stop being like Bozo and stop with the GIF's.

Oh... I get it. He acts like a jackass 'cause of some deep down internal issue he has. What happened buddy? Did some black Colombian beat you up and sleep with your girlfriend?? LMFAO!

Don't you think it's a little premature to be saying that Abraham's career is 'destroyed' or over, since we haven't seen how good or bad he looks in his next fight. Numerous fighters have suffered broken jaws in fights but have come back and been just as sucessful than before the injury.

Point is, I'm not ready to call Abraham off just yet, until I see him fight again. And if he doesn't fight again, then I'll give it to that his career was cut short because of a man named Miranda.

Fair enough. We need to wait and see!

A rematch would be great!

[Pantera2000]

A rematch would be great!

Everyone wants to see it happen. I just don't think it will.
Miranda won't go back to Germany after what happened and HBO has made it clear they are not interested in Abraham.
