After Watching Miranda's Bout w/Howard Eastman the Other Night on CLASSIC, REED is even MORE Impressed w/Pavlik's KO... Initially,REED hadn't Seen Enough of Miranda to Argue w/those Who Said he was "Weight Drained" or "Not Himself" N the Pavlik Fight... But The Eastman Bout Shows REED that Miranda WAS Himself...Pavlik is just the Superior Fighter... When Eastman was CLOSE to Miranda & OFFENSIVE Minded,Miranda's Power WASN'T All that...When Eastman BACKED UP Miranda,he was Extremely INeffective... It was Only when Eastman was On the Defensive &/or Cornered,that Miranda was MOST Effective... Miranda was even VISIBLY HURT a Couple Times N this Fight... REED has NO Doubts that Kelly Pavlik & his Trainer FORMULATED their Gameplan Based MOSTLY on the Eastman Fight... Instead of DIScrediting his Win,REED Thinks Kelly Pavlik DESERVES Props from EVERYBODY...Edison Miranda's Performance WAS NOT Compromised that Night...He just LOST to a Better Man... REED
Welcome to 2007 REED... Some of us knew Pavlik would KO Miranda. :tease: Miranda was pretty hurt the round prior to knocking out Eastman. Guys with poor footwork like Miranda are always deadmeat when they retreat or pick up their feet. Against boxers, they get clowned and run out of the ring (see Pounced On De Leon vs Callabero, Miranda vs Pavlik). Allan Green didn't have much success, but I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that he put Miranda down when Miranda was moving away from him.
I agree. Pavlik said before and after the fight that Miranda couldn't fight going backwards and that he would put the pressure on. That's exactly what he did.
i'm not saying Miranda is no better than Mayorga, but like the Nicaraguan, he can't do shit backing up. the book is out on him. when you fight Miranda, stand your ground, don't hang out on the end of his punches, and don't let him rest by moving around and letting him control the pace. apply pressure, keep inside his heavy shots, and bang away.
:clap: The Pavlik - Miranda prediction, was a very good call by a majority of Fightbeat, especially in comparison to what most other forums were predicting,... "Miranda is a BEAST ..EARLY KO!!!"..just the way Warriors promotions wanted it. :nono: I'm not sold on Pavlik though, particularly if he's fighting someone as capable as the brilliant Jermaine Taylor next, Pavlik's defence is appaulling, for example he let Miranda hit him in the head 6 times in a row on one occasion, at the end of round 5 I think it was, wtf?, he freezes up, signaling vunerable lapses of concerntration. Pavlik is distinctively slow of hand and foot aswell, custom made for Jermaine's dominating piston jab and superior fluidity in other words, it'll be one of Taylor's easier defences. :crafty: REED's token gesture bandwagon will be short-lived, Jermaine Taylor is p4p number 1, cock-bouncing on Fraud Mayweather's skull like a pogo stick in superiority, he's earned it, he's proven it, and there's nothing any other middleweight is going to do about it.
I just hope they fight. If Taylor wins, good for him. He'd put to rest a lot of the critisism that he won't face punchers and he only fights small guys.
Not Only did REED PICK Pavlik,REED Picked the EXACT ROUND Pavlik KO'ed Miranda in... How Bout DEM Apples?? REED:tease:
Find the prediction contest thread for that week and you'll see that I did too. You can clearly see in the quote I posted REED did not pick the correct round. You cannot pick two rounds and then claim you were right. ::
REED Said "KO In the 7th or 8th Round"... That's the EXACT Prediction that Illimunati Put N his Thread... Which Round did REED type 1st??? REED:tease:
i figured it out. it's not that you're racist. you're anti-american. am i right? did i hit the nail on the head?
No. Thats the last thing I am.:nono: As it happens, I regard the building up of Pavlik, particularly by Reed, as suspect to say the least. Reed used to be on WLads nuts, saying that Wlad was the future and he was amped for Wlad, when Wlad lost to Sanders Reed was over at Eastside shooting his mouth off.:nono: Pavlik is being built up so he can be pulled down again later. By a lot of people at that too. Miranda was as drained as the Mojave when he lost that night. He displayed all the classic symptoms of it too. End of story.
Is that why he was still firing back the round he was stopped in? Weight drained my arse, he looked no different to the eastman fight, just in with a much better, harder hitting opponent. I doubt pavlik makes 160 too easily either, he obviously just trains well. He is almost 6'3, and while he is skinny, he is not Chico skinny. He is a big bastard at 160.
Funny that only guys who picked Miranda seemed to notice anything different about him that night. I don't give a fuck what his excuse was, if he can't make 160 don't fucking fight in that division. If you are going to make excuses after taking a beating, and you're having trouble making weight, keep your damn mouth shut leading up to the fight. Don't claim you're going to destroy a guy. ::
:bears: What if he had knocked pavlik out in 3 rounds that night, would he have claimed he was weight drained? Honestly - what do you think?
I knew Pavlik would beat him. And as for Miranda not being drained...please. Every punch he threw was a sloppy arc. Where was the str8 right that broke Abrahams jaw and KO'd Eastman?? It wasn't there. Everything was sloppy and slow. And its hard to look slow against Pavlik.
He wouldn't have shit about the weight. He would have called out Taylor immediately and stayed at 160.
Pavlik was all over him like a fat kid on cake from the opening bell. He wasn't allowed to do anything. It's not what Miranda didn't do it's what Pavlik did.
Uhh....it he wasn't drained, he might have done a whole lot better. And if he isn't drained, he isn't suffering from weight issues and he doesn't have to go anywhere. Shit, speak about being obtuse. Oh..I get it....Abraham made Miranda look fast. You fucking noobs...:dunno: :clap: :clap:
:bears: :bears: ...and once again kudos to REED for making the correct prediction, although his analyzing skills took a little hit, when he admitted he had barely seen Miranda fight before. ::
Dude,YOU PERSONIFY the Pieces of SHIT that PERMEATE that JOKE of a Site Known as Eastside... The 1st DAY REED was there,REED was Pummeled w/UNProvoked Racial Slurs & Taunts...Where were YOU then???:dunno: ... U KNOW Good & Well that Eastside is EASILY THE Most RACIST Boxing Site on the Internet...There ISN'T even a Close Second.:nono: .. Since the Mods did NATHAN about it,REED Chose his Opportunity to Retaliate... KNOWING that Site is Chock FULL of Klit-Lickers,what BETTER Time for REED to Rub It N than when Sanders WIPED his Ass w/Wlad???:dunno: Apparently,REED's Strategy WORKED,Cause YEARS AFTER the Fact,YOU'RE STILL PISSY about it:laughing: But WHO Gives a Shit... REED Likes Wlad....Peep ANY Of the Articles REED has WRITTEN about Wlad...But N the Name of e-Revenge,there ARE NO Rules & There WILL B CASUALTIES... REED:tease:
He hit Pavlik enuff to suggest that Pavlik left enuff of room for Miranda to get some work done. I refuse to believe that Pavlik is any tougher or stronger or resilient than the likes of Abraham or Eastman. Thus there must exist a rational explanation for the reason why Miranda didn't buckle Pavlik more often. Watch how Miranda throws his punches from the get-go: slow, wide, sloppy, zero-zip.
