Edison Miranda vs Andre Ward May 16th!!

[MANGLER]

Ward should win this, but not outta the question for him to be KTFO.

You only seem to show up on these forums after Miranda wins, you completely disappear for like months after Pavlik beat Miranda. Fan-boyism ****, and I was around for back then I've been on this forum since like 2004. My other accounts were perm banned, but now I've been a good boy so far.

So you are a better person? **** man, you got your ass banned! That's pretty ****ed up. Yea, I admit I stayed away from the forums after my heart was broken from Pavlik. It happens. After Abraham beat him I was on here the next day. Miranda has been quiet since then, so there hasnt been a lot to talk about. He is now getting ready for a career changing fight so I got something to say, got it?

Pantera wins, he is a top choice for any of the four belt holders. He loses and I dont think he will ever make another run. Life or death here people. He needs to be at 100% for this fight. Will he have that eye of the tiger back? Damn I hope so!

I’m a big fan of Miranda’s because of his explosive punching power and because he’s never been in a boring fight. However, I don’t want him to take this fight. Ward is a polished fighter whose boxing skills are far superior to Miranda’s. I think Miranda should fight a couple more lower level opponents before stepping up again. I fear that he’s one knockout loss away from career ruin..

Although I do share your fear, I disagree about the additional waste of time on lower level opponents. Pantera is what he is... He is not gonna improve by beating up on two more lower tier fighters. He needs to take what he can get and make a statement.

Well the good news for Miranda is that he is not fighting a big puncher, which means for the full 12 rounds he is going to be there and he has the power to hurt Ward who has been hurt before in his short career. With that being said, the style match up favors Ward. He faster, younger, better technically ect so it all depends on what he does. If hes cautious and boxed Miranda the way he did Ravelo, then he should win a decision. But if he miscalculated with this fight and makes a mistake of trying to prove something, then he could be put out and brutally. This is definitely a fight im going to watch without a question. IMO the super middleweight division is the best division in boxing right now, and i hope that this is the start of everyone fighting each other because these are two of the best ones.

Judging from his last fight Miranda needs to work big time on his defense.

Personally I hope Miranda wins if the fight gets made. Miranda has major cujones and is I'm always entertained by him. Inside and outside the ring.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Possibly Miranda's last stand then.


I like what I've seen Of Ward, hope he doesn't get too wrecked if he loses, but the heart tells me I got to pull for Pantera in this one.

Jab jab jab jab and jab Miranda!!! Move your head and use that ****ing jab man and put pressure on him so he can make a mistake, then you can win but boxing vs boxing tis gonna be like a Calderon fight :box:

Although Miranda may have some shortcomings, you gotta admire the fact that he's never ducked anyone and is always looking for the next big fight...
