    I think I have a taste for that kind of violence also.

      You can sing me out of your list of "we" right now.

      Miranda does not do it for me.
      Then pretend I never made the thread.

        he is entertaining! but he will always be smashed to pieces by the top guys, especially at Supermiddle. Kessler would destroy him!

I know Edison has his flaws that will hurt him against the good fighters, but he's fun to watch and you know at any moment he could produce something like he did last night.
            Dude. Boxing is turning into fencing. I'll support anyone who's willing to trade. I appreciate Hatton's effort against Mayweather. He could've danced around and let it go to decision and probably picked up a fortune in a fight with De La Hoya. Instead he went to fight and got his ass kicked.

            By the way, the term Sweet Science is supposed to be ironic.

                  Ay listen, there have been many a great boxers, that, after they lost, were never the same. I don't have to produce a list, we know who they are, the Vargas', the Naseem Hameds', the Kosta Zyus', they were NEVER the same after they lost. Here we have Miranda, that works on bettering himself, after being KO'd. If you can't admire some one for that....then you truly are not a fan of the sport of Boxing. Very few elite fighters bounce back. I see Edison "Pantera" Miranda with an agenda, a mission, to become World Champion. Much success to Edison Miranda, a true fighter.

                    Im just trying to be realistic. I mean you can't expect every fighter to trade all the time. It's also about winning and doing what you have to do to win and for some fighters it wouldn't be in there best interest to sit and trade for 12 rounds. I understand that boxing is a sport where enertaining a crowd means a lot as well and sometimes winning ugly and in a boring fashion doesn't bode well for some fighters careers. I as well love to see all action fights, but it's unrealistic for me to expect that out of every fight and every fighter.
