Who Wins And Why?

[ßringer]

Both Edison Miranda and Jermain Taylor are flawed fighters. But they make the perfect opponets for one another. Miranda the dangerous power puncher and Taylor, the slick boxer.

I would be on Edison Miranda to KO Jermain Taylor in the late rounds. Taylor has a tendency to be overly cautious every now and again in the ring, he did it against Hopkins, he did it against Wright and on occasion he did it against Ouma, letting Ouma back him down all night long.

I think Taylor is damn good fighter but I don't know if he can take the kind of punch Edison Miranda can dish out. He certainly hasn't fought anyone who hits like Miranda yet.

Miranda has his weaknesses as well, Allan Green knocked him down in the 8th and had his fair share of moments against Miranda. Arthur Abraham was able to defeat Miranda even with a broken jaw. It would be a damn good fight of 2 very good, yet flawed fighters with contrasting styles. I'd give a very slight edge to Edison Miranda, for his power if nothing more.

I'd pick Taylor by UD. Though I will probably have to look more into Miranda

[psychopath]

After Miranda's performance against Green tonight I can't see how he's gonna win against Taylor. DAMN that was really a very disappointing fight. It took him 12 rounds to hurt green who does really nothing to pressure him. WTF?

you being kind saying flawed.
don't know where you're comming from saying taylor is slick.
with taylor (who i've been behind,look at my posts)i'm starting to think is dimwitted.immanuel cant teach him ****. taylor still burns himself up throwing those anxious blows, leaving his hands down, backing straight back ,etc. etc.
miranda is still in the bulldozing mode.hope he gets a trainer that can teach him more boxing skills. most everything else is there.

they could both be improved by the time they meet.but as it stands now
miranda with the bigger heart and hunger at 160 would have a good chance at an upset imo.

I think Miranda would stop Taylor as would have Green had it been a 12rd fight not 10 rounds.While it was a good fight it was not the ****er we all expected.Green did not want engage it appeared after he felt Mirandas power early.......Green got ****y after he scored that KD and started to fight and we all saw what happened in the last round where Green barely survived.Oddly enough Miranda was winning rounds you would think Green could have taken with his slicker style but he simply could'nt take Mirandas relentess pressure......I doubt Taylor could either......Taylor has all he could handle with an aggressive Winky when they fought......Miranda is much stronger than Winky so I see Miranda catching Taylor and finishing sometime over a 12 round fight.Miranda is the Peoples Champ just like he claims IMO.

Taylor would make what would appear to be easy work of Miranda, but Miranda could hurt him and turn it around late.

I say Taylor by five to seven points.

[Rudyo]

As much as I hate to say it, I'm gonna go with Taylor UD.

I just don't think that Miranda will find him with a big shot and if he does i think Taylor will manage to not go down. If Taylor uses his jab he will dominate Miranda but if he does as he has in his last fights he may have a rough time but i still think he would win either way.

[DiegoFuego]

Taylor by fairly easy UD. If Green had used his jab appropriately, he would have won last night. Miranda is a puncher and nothing more.

TAYLOR by UD possible KO, miranda might be even more flawed then ricardo mayorga, if allan green had actually tried to fight back he could have gotten a UD in my opinion
