Had that fight a draw and Ianuzzi winning the undercard against Kayodee. Kayodee is nothing special at all in the couple times I saw him before tonight and I was really hoping he wouldn't get that decision.

boxing corrption at its finest. no wonder top rank went to showtime.
showtime and all the networks should ban corrupted judges and refs like raul caiz jr.

just let the best man win, not who is the biggest prospect. that's why boxing is losing fans. only the hardcore fans can take the constant a blasting from the corruption, seriously it needs to end

I had it a draw...Cuban+mexican= good fight

I thought that J M Marquez look-alike won the fight. And that African dude lost.

I think Kayode has potential but he needs to work on not leaning so damn much when he goes in to punch. He has a lot of pop in his punches and I think if he continues to work with Freddie Roach he should be able to mold him into a future champion.

I had the fight a draw BUT that BS one point deduction at the end gave Kayode the nod, IMO.

Its mexican vs any one= good fight. And naw i thought that miranda looked more like miguel vazquez the light weight tittle holder.

Actually, Miranda reminded me of a poor-man's Barrera, with the way he fought and dug his shots to the body. I also thought the slip should have been ruled a knockdown since a punch landed. If that were the case, Miranda would have won. I thought Miranda landed the harder shots and except for the very few times Franco planted his feet, his punches were all slaps. I hope to see Miranda again and if he can get a good trainer, he might actually turn into a half way decent contender...
