Looking forward to this card. Miranda is past his best, but he’s still a PFP shit talker.

Too bad he can almost never back it up

In his defense

He is an exciting fighter who only loses to top flight talent (when he doesn’t DQ). Strong guy, good puncher, I look forward to seeing what he can do at 175.

I’ve seen him at 175. He’s not any good. Punch is gone, he’s too small for the weight. Miranda is a gatekeeper now and absolutely nothing more. If he beats Chilemba tonight, it means Chilemba isn’t going to amount to anything, and does not mean that Miranda is a contender at 175.

That said, he’s a good gatekeeper. Boxing needs gatekeepers.
