Pantera Miranda Returns with Big Victory; Now Stalking Cleverly PhilBoxing.com Thu, 22 Dec 2011 "Cleverly will feel stupid when I'm done with him." One of boxing's hardest punchers and most exciting warriors, Edison "Pantera" Miranda (35-6, 30 KOs), fresh off a sensational TKO win over WBO #7 light heavyweight Kariz Kariuki on Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, is already back in the gym looking and forward to his next bout. "I felt really good in there. Probably the best I have felt in years," said the energized Miranda. "I trained hard and was in great shape. Kariz hit me a few times, but I was able to walk right through them. I knew I could hurt him with the left and as soon as I saw the opportunity I took advantage of it." Miranda dropped Kariuki in round five with a devastating counter hook. Kariuki was able to get up, but never recovered. Shortly after, the fight was stopped by referee Allan Huggins. With the victory, the Colombian slugger is sure to move up in the WBO rankings. The current WBO Champion, Nathan Cleverly, is currently without an opponent for his Feb 25 homecoming fight in Wales. "Sure, I would love to fight him in his backyard. I have never turned down a challenge. I have a huge fan base in England and all over Europe. I'm back in the gym and it would be no problem for me to get ready for a title fight in February. It would give me great pleasure to fight in front of all those great fans and give them a night they will never forget." Ever the showman, Miranda also added: "Cleverly will feel stupid when I'm done with him." Until word of his next fight, the 31-year-old Miranda will stay in the gym and continue working hard. "I am ready for anyone." To see Miranda's devastating victory over Kariuki, click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YACKf9EdXxw&feature=youtu.be  |
