Edison Miranda vs Arthur Abraham HL video

[Exige Jr]

Well I havent seen the fight but I know that some of those decisions were dodgy as hell. Like giving lowblows that never existed. It was clearly a bodyshot and the ref was giving time out. I mean wdf?

By the looks of it that was a robbery on Roy Jones olympic levels. But like I said I havent seen the entire fight. Oh yeah and ban those judges and referee.

Kthxbye.

Miranda looked dominant, and Abraham didn't want to be in there.

They need to get it on again.

If this was in the USA, Miranda would be the clear winner.

However....that video is a bit biased in favor of Miranda. Still, I do see its point (or hidden agenda) - that Miranda had to fight both Abraham and the ref.

I havent seen the fight yet but from this highlight i can tell that ref is a douche. abraham had his back turned and miranda rushed him and the ref stops him?? its like saying hold on he needs a couple more seconds u gotta wait. what happned to protect yourself at all times? i didnt know it became the refs job.

abraham def has heart but at times he looked like he didnt want to be in there: turning his head away, having his back towards miranda, trying to get miranda dq'd. some of the low blows looked borderline but hey i could be wrong. i mean yea no one wants to be in the ring hurt especially with a broken jaw but i could never picture any of the greats pulling off a stunt like that.

The video is actually very fair. It shows all the fouls that the ref calls (so you can make your own judgement). It shows the 11th round borderline low blow and how the ref was letting it go until Abraham sold it. It shows Sauerland's right hand man reviewing the score cards before they are given to Buffer. And it shows what happen for almost the entire fight, Miranda chasing Abraham around the ring and landing blows to the side of his head.

It does not show the Dr and Ref calling off the fight in the 5th and it being overturned by Wilfred Sauerland (the German promoter).

This is far from the entire fight, but it is a VERY VERY good HL video. Great job!!! You obviously can not judge a fight by this, but for whoemever has not seen it you can a good idea why people are screaming robbery!

I admit, I didn't see the fight. but from what I've read, Abraham did connect when he did have his 20 second flurries. None of those were shown in the video, so that's why I said it was a bit biased.

From the looks of it though, Abraham had heart but his talents are somewhat questionable in comparison to Winky Wright's or Jermaine Taylor.

Abrehams jaw looked exactly like Malinaggis jaw.

For the record it was a broken orbital bone for Paulie not jaw. And i think it didnt look half as bad as Abraham. Abrahams jaw was hanging open since the 5th rd and was wincing everytime he took a punch. But damn I concur AA does got heart.

And also whoever said that Paulie had no chance of beating Cotto is in denial he took 4 rds on two judges scorecards and 5 rds on the other, not too bad considering he was a handpicked opponet for Cotto to KO on the eve of the PR parade, instead Paulie made it a competive fight and took Cotto the distance, even slugging it out with him! But that is all in the past , im lookin forward to the Magic Man's return in january

holy ****. that video was more like a Miranda HL than a fight HL.. that was beyond biased, (it's more than evident by showing only Miranda pre-fight)

please don't watch that and think you saw the fight.......

i wouldnt exactly call that slugging with cotto. he would get his punches off first but once cotto landed he held. and he wasnt handpicked. paulie is a great boxer and no one knew how good he really was. cotto took a chance by fighting him right b4 the pr parade he couldve easily lost but he prepared for him well. even now paulie is on top of everyone's list at 140. i dont understand how u can say someone like that is handpicked. paulie's got heart but dont discredit cotto's win as something that shouldve happened anyway cuz in a way u r discrediting paulie.
