Summary of Abraham - Miranda

[Xcel]

currently watching the fight. no one way abraham one the first 4 rounds. miranda was way more active in the first two. you cant steal rounds with flurries here and there.

through 4 rounds I have it 3-1 miranda, 2-2 at best. i gave round 4 to edison. abraham had his moments but if you look at the clock his flurries lasted about 20 seconds, the rest of the round miranda is stalking and throwing and moving forward.

Headbutt was intentional. but it did not cause the damage they showed. those blows he got in the other rounds did. and two points was complete bull.

and two points was complete bull.

the fight was fixed..one judge had arhtur winning 8 rounds Only in Germany can you win a title without boxing.

Miranda was throwing more punches but they werent landing. The way I understand it, you are giving the rounds to Miranda for being more active not considering how many of his sloppy shots landed. His accuracy was very low compared to Abraham's power punches which landed several times and had Miranda buzzed.

solid points Bobby.. i fear that many on this board haven't even seen the fight and are making assumptions with their statements on the fight..

I seriously didn't give Miranda more than 4 rounds (he basically took the last 3).. early on, Arthur looked like the better fighter overall and, knowing he was up big thanks in part to Miranda's low blows, he wisely steered clear of Miranda's big haymakers in those final 3 rounds.

You can't imagine how tired Abraham must've been at that point, with the amount of blood lost, plus the punishment he did sustain from Miranda, not to mention how painful the jaw must've felt

I gave Miranda the 2nd, 10th, 11th, and 12th... and i could maybe see someone giving him one or two more rounds AT MOST

Boy this fight turned ugly fast. After the first 5 rounds, this fight was sloppy. Low blows by Miranda, holding by Abraham. Will give props to Abraham for continuing. He could have taken an easy out.

But I stand by my word that the first 4 rounds were split at best, and Miranda did the most work. He landed more because he threw more. Abraham fought in spurts. I am not talking about him being just a little more active, he was considerably more active than Abraham.

I finally did see it in Anorak's Hungarian upload. Admittedly I stopped being attentive in the later rounds, since I had some visitors and anyway by then I had given enough rounds to Abraham (he only needed four to win the fight). I didn't find Miranda's behavior so objectionable, but it was clear that he could not land more than about 20% of his punches. Abraham's style, on the other hand, will take some getting used to. I'd like to know, if possible, exactly how the people who are claiming that Miranda won 9-10 rounds (I take it you're giving him rds. 3 and 8, but not 1 and 4?) scored it.
As far as winning rounds in 30 -40 second flurries is concerned, that can certainly be done if the other guy failed to land effectively for the rest of the time, which was indeed the case in this fight.
