Edison Miranda's Knockout Last Night

[southpaw_07]

look carefully ...the last punch never touched the opponent, he simply took a dive fearing more punishment.
This wasn't even a C class fighter, more likely D class. C Class fighters are the guys being used as "warm up" or "stay busy" for the B fighters coming up to face the bigger guys, A class. D class fighters are journey men, although this guy had a "washed up" record, but is to considered as a tomato can , D class fighter, embarrassing.

I would have respected the Gossen's more if they had Miranda face a C class fighter, someone that can punch back, but this was laughable.

Who are you to rate him D class? He was 20-2 with 19Kos. He won his last 10 fights by early KOs. He is the Mexican Super Middle Weight Champ. Only KOd once in the 10th round.

Im not trying to make him more then he is, but that doesnt sound like a D class fighter to me.

Based on a fight that lasted 30 seconds?

Absolutely. I have been to each and every fight of Miranda's since his debut in USA. I know his style, defense, reactions, etc as good as anybody. He was able to turn away from punches as he pulled away. Not just straight back. He moved much better, threw combos and went to the body. Better footwork.

Still needs more work no doubt, but the direction is positive.
