Yata!! Man… Miura is one of the wildest fighter out there. He’s a merciless monster who will try everything to put his opponent down, even if it involves being severely punished himself for taking often some very dangerous risks. What a brawl!
Best boxing weekend in a while!
Miura gets Kod by any legit fighter.
B class. A bit like Chavez Jr was. Just being a much bigger man.
If he was younger I would say get a good trainer. But at 32 (?) – look for a payday.
A fight that thanks to these two excellent worriers deserves 4 starts or more. The techniques deployed were minimal but the courage displayed by both boxers was monumental. Roman was really brave to stand up after his knock downs even he knew it wouldn’t make any difference in the final result.
