    Damn, I can't believe the outrage in this thread over Cory. He came in heavy due to a scale discrepancy, literally walked around the FedEx Forum for a bit, came back and made weight.

    The biggest disgrace of yesterday was Miranda. After all the **** he talked (limited to this fight, anyway), he needed three tries to make weight. The report that he was slightly over and should easily make weight was DiBella's sales pitch to calm the crowd.

    The truth was, Mierda was rumored to be 7 lb. over the limit as recent as Thursday. Dude was starved, dehydrated and dry-mouthed by the time he weighed in, and was still 0.6 over. Came back later, got down to 160.2, before finally managing to shrivel down to 160 on the dot.

    For what it;s worth, Spinks had the decency to step on the public scale and greet the crowd, thus justifying everyone showing up and waiting around for the event. Miranda never came out because he didn't want to step on a scale in public that said he was over the limit (in Tennessee, they weigh in, in front of the commission first, then the public display).

    if nothing else, the series of events finally shut up Mierda and Margoulis, even if only for a few hours. Hopefully Pavlik finishes the job tonight.

      Pavlik will be going home early tonight...Just laying down look at the lights.

      Seriously I dont know how Pavlik got to where he is...The guy is a bum and fought other bums...

      I wouldnt be surprised if he was out of it by the 5th round..I've been in the same gym as this guy and seen him fight the dude sucks and sucks hairy ass at that...

          Miranda, as usual looked ripped in the weight-in photos, can't wait for these 2 fights.

            Although I think Miranda will win by KO tonight, Pavlik is far from being a bum. I think he may even be the second best middleweight right now, next to Miranda.

              Miranda overwatted for all the trash talk he been making no i having second though about him because Pavilik is a puncher too and coming unprepared and not focused will cost him the fight.

              as well as he doesnt have the skills to back him up if he was in trouble

                  i think it's a mistake for him to look beyond pavlik as he may be taken by surprise tonight. It'll be a great fight though i'm well looking 4ward to it

                    Pavlik got wobbled buy a guy who walks around 145 pounds soaking wet in sparring...No way can he stand up to the pressure Miranda brings...

                    His height is his advantage, I would compare him to Roman Karmazin in the same manner but he isnt a very good rangy fighter and doesnt make use of his height...
