This why this fight is a picke em in my opinion. Both can get wild and we know Miranda can take a punch. but power shots really bother Jermaine.
    Taylor's jab got less effective because Kelly has a pretty good one himself...also Miranda's right hand is not as quick and sharp as Kelly's...Miranda throws wild right hands and has a slow jab...gets hit himself...

    it is a pickem though

      Yeah but I still believe Jermaine had the abilty to get his jab off first with tha handspeed difference. But Pavlik's jab set everything up he did. I think if he squares off with Miranda he has to set up punches with the jab. Because swinging wildly with a power puncher is playing with fire.

        I would put it < this way. Miranda I believe has the greater power. he can **** up your equilibrium. His Gibbs KO was some of the craziest **** I have ever seen.

              MIranda has the power to knock Taylor out and the chin to withstand his punches, but assuming Taylor can stay out of trouble he'd win a very wide decision.

                  Oh no I knew he went down. But there was the one shot that made Green's legs buckle. I I know he went down after a punch or two. But the intial shot sent shockwaves throught he rest of his body.

                    Befgore the Paqvlik fight I would have favored Miranda. Now that Taylor sees he is not invincible we should see a better Taylor and he'll fight Miranda on his terms instead of going toe to toe. I favor Taylor by knockout within 8 rounds

                      This looks pretty much Right.

                      Change heart to CHIN if ya like...or just through CHIN in there for miranda with heart.
