Edison Miranda - What's the deal?

[-CANE-]

Never saw him before until last night. I was at work and boxing was on the channel 5 and they showed his recent fight against David Banks and I was impressed with the knockout. Reminded me of Henry Cooper versus Joe Erskine as they both got laid out over the bottom rope.

Anyway just checked him out on boxrec and he looks pretty decent but has lost his two biggest fights.

Can anyone recommend any of his fights to watch with other great knockouts.

I'm gonna check youtube to see if his losses are on there but which of his wins are worth watching.

Also what is everybodies thoughts on this guy?

Thanks for input in advance.

Miranda is a near-solid fighter at best. He doesn't do anything exceptionally well, and he absolutely cannot fight on the defensive. If he can't pressure his opponet into backing up (like Pavlik) he's pretty well out of the fight. That said, he's an exciting guy who speaks his mind, goes for the knockout whenever possible and knows how to entertain a crowd.

So I understand why he's popular around here.

He was actually beating Abraham but he got points deducted causing him to lose. atleast thats what I remember.

He really only has 1 legit loss to Pavlik IMO.

He beat Abraham's ass but lost because of point deductions.

Miranda is a very intriguing fighter because of his style and life story. He had a horrible childhood but was able to overcome adversity to become an exciting young mw contender….

I love that thread! Too bad he blew his chance.
I guess (and hope) you will need to modify this as
'Next Great Super Middleweight'

Cheers guys keep opinions coming. I'm first to admit if I'm not up with certain fighters or no nothing about them.

Looks like a good honest solid pro though with a killer punch, maybe an equivalent to Earnie Shavers would that be fair to say.
