Miranda was dehydrated

[potatoes]

Did any of you notice that Miranda was huffing and puffing and throwing arm punches by the third round? He had a problem making weight, that is a good indication that he wasn't ready for this fight. All Pavlik had to do was pressure him and run him out of gas. It is a ****** way to lose a fight, but it happened yet again.

**** his excuses, I'm sure Allan Green has a million excuses why he lost

[ippo]

how is it excuse when everyone saw it in the first 2 rounds.Pavlik fought a good fight

I dont buy that. He was out of breath because it was a fast paced fight and he's use to being the only one throwing but Pavlik was landing a bunch on him also and that was taking the steam out of him. Also, neither fighter has went long in many fights so at the pace they were fighting, the 3rd round was like the 6th round in a normal fight. Spinks was more overweight then Miranda but he had alot of gas. Miranda just fought a more skilled fighter tonight who could do everything he could do and more

Pavlik had his mouth open early in the fight also. Thats an excuse. He just wasnt on Pavlik's level tonight. He may have overlooked him or he may just be another Mayorga who all he knows how to do is swing wild power punches but has no D or technique

Miranda defense has always been ass, his best defense was his offense.

Who the hell said anything about not wanting a white boxer to win EliteSoldier.Im not black or white so I didn't care which race wins unlike you.Also most people already knew pavlik was the more skilled fighter, but most thought since he hasn't fought anyone note worthy yet unlike Miranda he would get destroyed.Also Props to Pavlik for proving alot of people wrong and fighting a good fight and dismantling Miranda, But Can't you just admit Miranda had no snap in his punches and wasn't throwing them with any power.He probably took Pavlik lightly and payed the high price for it and slacked off in his training and weight management, Professionals don't run out of gas in 2 rounds.

[EliteSoldier]

Professionals don't run out of gas in 2 rounds.

Did you see how hard and fast Pavlik was hitting him? Miranda has neve been pressured like that ever. Professionals can get tired like that when a fighter is constantly attacking them

Well for the pre hype of HBO, I could of sworn Miranda could have ate Godzilla and **** out King Kong. Lamps said Miranda had "Cosmic Punching POWA". LOL. No disrespect to Miranda, he just ran into a buzzsaw tonight. He hit Pavlik with his best punch, and it didn't even faze Pavlik. If your a power guy, thats pretty disheartning. The first two rounds were intense. After that, Pavlik had his way.

If you have trouble making weight it proves you didn't train hard enough. But i see the excuses for that hype job miranda have come out even though he looked like a bum with **** footwork. poor slow punching and no gameplan to deal with kelly. Miranda got out classed serves him right for looking past Kelly.
