EDISON MIRANDA HARDLY BROKE A SWEAT IN HIS VICTORY AT TACHI
By Ed de la Vega, DDS PhilBoxing.com Sat, 24 Oct 2009
Lemoore, CA:- Edison “Pantera” Miranda, one of the top rated super middleweight contenders in the world proved that he is someone to reckon with in his division.
Last night at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino located in this rustic in central California town, Miranda took less than a round to knockout Francisco “ Panchito” Sierra, the Mexican super middleweight champion.
The end came via a Miranda devastating short right hook to the temple that sent Sierra sprawling to the canvas. Time: 2:16 of round one.
With the win, Miranda up his record to 33-4-0 (29KO) while Sierra dropped to 20-3-0 (19KO).
Miranda, who was making his debut under the Goosen-Tutor Promotional outfit, won the NABO Super middleweight crown.
The fight was Miranda’s second chance to win the title. Last May at Oakland, he lost to Andre Ward.
Tonight however, he was just sensational and he hardly broke a sweat!
