A lot of the time he had no idea about how to hit Abraham when Abraham was just sitting on the ropes with his guard up, he had no idea how to crack his guard or get around it. Most the time he would, for whatever reason, get real close and smother his punches or pitty pat against Abraham's guard.

    I give Miranda a little bit of a chance in this fight. Take a look at the Andrade fight and replace Andrade with Miranda, I can see Kessler getting hurt with an overhand right. But can Miranda take the kind of shots Andrade did is a pretty big question.
    Andrade and Pantera are not a good comparison.
    Andrade is wild, swing very wide. Miranda is much more of a straight puncher. To me they are very different styles.

      because i know boxing? and im not gonna lie. I was brought up in rural areas at times. I was actually born in houston, tx but spent most of my life in Houston, Brownsville, Tx and Matamoros Mexico. and another thing, not everyone has a "texas accent" here. thats a myth. maybe in the smaller cities between the metropolitan cities but go to Austin, Dallas, Houston and you wont hear it much.

            Against Abraham Miranda fought the dumbest fight I have ever seen. So let's hope not

                  Miranda a straight puncher...noooot really...even his straight right seems to have a loop to it haha. just the way he squares up, I guess. sure gives him a lot of power tho.

                  but yea, they are different styles. but overall, I would say Andrade is the closest thing to Miranda out of all the people that Kessler has fought so far, so that seemed like the best fight to judge from.
