Not to sure what to make of Miranda as a heavyweight, chin was always more glass…
He had 31 draws?
You gotta be kidding?!!! I know it’s been a while since he last fought, but I didn’t think it was long enough for him to stack on that much weight! He was a chisselled beast not so long ago! I’ll say the same thing I ended my previous post about JD Champman’s return; if Deontay Wilder were still champion, Miranda would probably already challenging for his title!
I recall Miranda’s fight with Pavlik! What a barn burner!
Yeah that fight was a great one, ironically I think that was the fight that broke him, he wasn’t the same after that one.
He doesn’t look at all in great condition, as if he spends more time eating doughnuts than doing road work. Likely a short-lived return which doesn’t end well.
Miranda could punch and was fun to watch in his prime, but that was 15/16 years ago. He’s now 40 years old, and 98 pounds North of what was his best fighting weight. Hopefully he can make a few $$$, but it’s really hard to imagine this comeback going anywhere at all…
Ahhh no, he’s not looking good at all. He used to be ripped. He’s far removed from the Lucien Bute days.
Why is this fight being allowed?
It’s being allowed because it’s Colombia. Miranda is a candidate for terrible brain damage, if he isn’t there already.
Miranda is gonna lose this fight for sure
omyyyy
i used to love him as a fighter he give fans a great fight as over 240p am not sure
This is no different than Epifanio Mendoza, another Columbian middleweight who ballooned up to heavyweight and was totally ineffectual in that division.
Absolutely ridiculous, but hey, the man’s gotta eat, not like he’ll be conducting brain surgeries at John Hopkins.
He clearly doesn’t need to rely on boxing to eat, does he?
Geez
GOOD LORD!
