WelshDevilRob Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Edison Miranda Interview: "Bellew will know what it is like to be hit by a real man!" Written by Rob Day Big Hitting, Edison ‘Pantera’ Miranda descends on the UK, on the 8th September, to fight Liverpudlian, Tony ‘Bomber’ Bellew at the Alexandra Palace, Muswell Hill, London. ‘Pantera’ is a well-known, popular and controversial character who has traded blows with some of the best names in boxing including Andre Ward, Lucian Bute, Arthur Abraham and Kelly Pavlik. The 31 year old has often fallen short against the very best but does hold very good KO wins over the likes of Howard Eastman and Allan Green. Colombian, Miranda (35-7, 30 KOs) has had mixed results since stepping into the light heavyweight division back last year. His last fight was a points loss to respected contender Isaac Chilemba, over 10 rounds, in February. The fight was evenly poised until Miranda sustained a cut in the third – the nasty blood flow, seemingly affecting his vision and performance. Now, he is looking to get back in the mix and is fighting a man, in Tony Bellew, whose stock has risen since a gallant but unsuccessful points loss to, current WBO light heavyweight champion, Nathan Cleverly. ‘Bomber’ was last seen impressively stopping Danny MacIntosh in five rounds, in April. Bellew (17-1, 11 KOs) is the younger man, at 29, by two years while Miranda has over double the amount of contests: 42 to Bellews, 18. The experience and level of competition is, undoubtedly, with the Colombian fighter but the fresher fighter is the man hailing from Liverpool. Both men have plenty of power and the contest has the potential to be both exciting and explosive. The press conferences alone will be worth the fee, as both are confident talkers. I caught-up with Edison to get his thoughts on the upcoming fight.

gavpowell Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I think Bellew might win on points but I suspect Miranda may flatten him, based on the damage done by Ovill McK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshDevilRob Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Nothing in the 1st. Thought Miranda started better so if anyone got the round it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Edison stalks Bellew then unloads and Bellew in trouble. Bellew recovers but backing off. 10-9 to Miranda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 3rd to Bellew - busier and his attack worked. Miranda came back at the end but Bellew defended well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 4th a fascinating clash of styles. Bellew coming out of his shell but there is risk 10-9 to Bellew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavpowell Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Miranda wobbles, goes down from a bodyshot, is up for the 8 count and says no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Miranda looked old at the end and didn't show much heart with that retirement. Not impressed by Bellew tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
