Edison Miranda: why so highly rated?

The good thing about all that is, the score will be settled very soon and we won't have to hear about this anymore.

100% true. This is one fight that had to happen to settle the score.

Big Dog Benny Henderson did an excellent interview with Marcus Rhode.
I admit I put him up to it and it turned out well.

One of the parts that was great was when Rhode was at a bar, and some dude was calling him 90 all night and he walked up to him and asked him why you callin me 90. Dude says yeah cause that's how long it took Morrison to knock you out. So Rhode says ok dude, I am gonna call you 365 because that's how many days you'd have to work to get paid what I got in 90 seconds....

lol......snicker.........

This is a lie. Abraham did NOT want the fight stopped. His corner told him that if they stop the fight, he loses his title. You have been right so far, until this blatant lie. Why did they even let the fight go on?????...They asked Abraham also if he could continue too. Is Abraham lying in his interview also.

Before you make an ass of yourself, watch the fight.

When a doctor and the fighter both want to stop the fight then it is the job of the ref to stop the fight. I have never before seen a promoter in the stands demand to the ref that the fight must continue. And that fact that Neuman listened to him is downright shameful.

The docter CLEARY tells Neuman to stop the fight and Neuman even CLEARY says "So that's the fight, right?". Neuman CLEARLY asks Abraham if he wants to fight and Abraham CLEARY says NO and shakes his head from side to side.

If you dont have a problem with this PROOF then you are worthless here on these boards. Even the biggest Abraham fans (Vanes, Googler) all say the fight should have been stopped in the 5th.

Why on earth would a fan of Abraham say that the fight should've been stopped? Many fighters break their jaw and fight on, and win. What on earth are you even talking about?? This man is a top fighter and world class fighter and champ. He fought on, and he won. In order to get a fight with Pav, he took this fight to get rid of the garbage surrounding the outcome.

No son, Abraham never said no, he looked to his corner, and his corner told him what he needed to know. If you let the ref stop the fight, you lose your title, and it won't go to the cards. That is the truth. So he fought on. A fighter doesn't shake his head no when a ref ask's if you want to fight, and lets the fighter fight on. Doesn't make sense.

The thing is about all this, Abraham, who I'd like to see win, has been looking worse.
His last couple of fights he hasn't boxed enough for my liking. He loads up a little too much. We know he can box, but I don't know if that's because of the competition or what. His d is better than Miranda's but whose isn't really?

He does have those short, short hard shots that he needs very little room to get off but he seems to be loading up too much lately.

Maybe it's his comp. Miranda always loads up though, with mixed results.

Everyone can say what they want about the first fight. Home field advantage for AA or Miranda was dirty and couldn't finish.. We'll all know who's got the bigger balls after the rematch. Up until that it's just the same 2 arguments being repeated and repeated.

If Miranda wins, i'll be the first to give him props, because it will be a win over a good fighter. I have no problem saying this. No problem. He fought Art good in their first fight, but imo he was just a step behind almost the whole fight until the latter rounds.

Could someone please post the part during the stoppage when the ref asks Abraham if he can continue and Abraham shakes his head and says no. This boo guy is arguing to the wrong person about the fine details of this fight!!!
