HOLLYWOOD, FL – People’s Middleweight Champion Edison Miranda is not someone you want to take lightly. Ask Arthur Abraham, the IBF middleweight ‘champion’ who still hasn’t returned to the ring after having his jaw broken in two places by ‘Pantera’; or Howard Eastman, who went 24 rounds with Abraham and Bernard Hopkins but couldn’t last seven full rounds with Miranda; or most recently, Willie Gibbs, who didn’t make it out of the first round.

I have seen Miranda once. But my question is does he have a chin? Because Green has good power as well.Comment

His chin has been tested and he did nicely.
Eastman rocked him hard and Miranda got a little shakey, but recovered fast. Abraham hit him clean with everything he had and Pantera didnt seem to get to hurt.Comment

thanks. It should be a really good fight I could see Miranda rocking Green. Green just has to use his boxing skill and he'll do alright.Comment

This is an excellent fight set up for I believe early March on HBO. Two ferocious punchers coming head on, and both need this win. If you believed the hype surrounding the controversial event that was Edison Miranda's IBF middleweight title challenge to Arthur Abraham, you probably thought that Miranda was some sort of monster. However, it was Abraham that had Miranda backing off for long periods, and a lot of what was on show in that fight is evidence that Allan Green should have it all his way when he fights Miranda.
Miranda tends to fight with his hands held low, and really, he's not quick enough to get away with that, and he looks disorganized in a number of ways. First, when he gets hit, and is backing up, his defenses are even worse than when he is on neutral ground. Abraham hit Miranda with a ton of left hooks and was able to get through with so many right hands. And Miranda is susceptible as any other fighter; he was rocked by Howard Eastman, who, at the top level, has never done anything.
Green is the kind of fighter that seems to think that he is owed the world before he has even earned the right to his shot. He showed that he can be complacent against Donnie McCrary, and almost came unstuck. Before that, he showed against Jaidon Codrington what he can do when people are picking against him in the lead up to a fight.
If he deals with Miranda in impressive style in this fight, Green should be knocking on the door for a title short shortly thereafter. He has a decent chin, impressive power, and his range of punches are nice and crisp. If he doesn't stop Miranda, he will earn a decision outright.Comment

Damn man. Ive never been more excited for an undercard fight ever. Except Arce-Husein I maybe.
This fight is really heating up. I can not wait for this one. Should be some awsome action.
Both fighters have shown them have some REAL heart, so dont expect it to end after just one KD or one big bomb from Miranda.
Greens very quick hands, along with his good power, can really give Miranda a stuggle, if not beat himComment
