After being at ringside in Florida and calling out Edison Miranda at his most recent fight; it looks like Pantera is ready to return the favour for Jean Pascal’s December 7th fight in Montreal . Miranda will be a keen ringside observer as the war of words heats up between the two in what looks to be an eventual 2008 matchup.
“He claims that I laughed when I challenged him, said Pascal via press release. “I did so because I was thinking that if he is not afraid to fight me, then following our match-up fans will stop calling him ‘The Panther’, and will begin to call him ‘The Kitten’.
“I went to Hollywood , Florida prior to traveling to Puerto Rico to attend the WBO convention. Having learned that Edison Miranda was boxing, and knowing that he is in my weight division, I naturally was curious to see him fight. He is a good boxer, and he fought well that night. But he is certainly not good enough to beat me.”
“He is crazy to want to fight me,” said Miranda after their original encounter. “If this fight ever happens, I’ll wipe that grin off his face with one right hand.”
“I know one thing for certain about Miranda: he is not a true champion. He lied about my having followed him to Puerto Rico, and when I challenged him his only reply was that he would let his fists do the talking in the ring, whereas a real champion would have replied much differently. As proof of how much he fears me, before I left Puerto Rico , he gave me a Pantera shirt as a gift in order to soften me up prior to our eventual match-up.”
