By Cliff Rold - Super Middleweight contenders Edison Miranda and Jean Pascal had separate business to take care of before they could worry about the chance to do business with each other in a proposed summer bout. Friday night from the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, live on ESPN2, the first step towards that showdown was completed. The evening’s work was easier for the former. [details]

I wouldn't count on it. Miranda looked good in knocking out David Banks but looked quite lethargic the rest of the fight. Pascal's opponent was young and really came to win. In my Opinion, David was chicken and would have been happy just to survive. Pascal's speed is going to give Miranda fits and don't sleep on Pascal's power.Comment

Pascal's opponent was just as bad as Miranda's opponent and Pascal's opponent had little power and still was able to hurt Pascal.Comment

If Pascal keeps that left hand low he could find a right hand that puts him to sleep like Banks did today. He does have the athletic ability to give Miranda problems, but will he be able to handle the power.Comment

Good point buts lets not exaggerate it. David would hardly throw a punch and waited on Miranda. Omar at times was CLEARLY trying to win rounds and even knock out Pascal. Big differences in attitude by both losing fighters tonight. David had little confidence, Omar came to fight and win but came up short.
You could have matched David Banks vs Omar Pitman and I guarantee Omar knocks out David.Comment

No. But that's the puzzle that slow and one dimensional Edison is going to have to solve, otherwise he loses by either UD or TKO. Right now, no one can stand up to the power of a healthy and focused Edison if he lands that big right flush on the chin. It's lights out for anybody he fights that gets caught flush with that kind of power.
Heck, he'd knock out a heavy weight, if he lands that bomb square on the chin.Last edited by internetworld7; 01-12-2008, 12:21 AM.Comment

i agree, Banks had 2 k.o.s in his career, easy fight for MirandaI wouldn't count on it. Miranda looked good in knocking out David Banks but looked quite lethargic the rest of the fight.
