Cotto, Miranda Overpower Foes
In the co-feature, Edison Miranda (28-1) outworked Allan Green (23-1) in a battle of top prospects fought at a catch weight of 162 pounds. Green talked a good game leading up to the bout but - other than the eighth round when he dropped Miranda with a left hook - failed to back it up in the ring. Miranda makes up what he lacks in boxing skills with aggressiveness and pure power, Miranda staggered Green in the ninth and put him on the canvas twice in the tenth and final round. Green just barely made it to the final bell but the scores were unanimous in favor of Miranda: 97-90 and 96-91 twice. The win may land Miranda an HBO date in June or July with undefeated middleweight Kelly Pavlik in what could be a great slugfest.

All the talking Green has done against stiffs. He finally meets someone who can punch and was scared to death. Urkal must have thought Cotto was on steroids. As much as he hit him he couldn’t shake him.
Ever since Allan Green switched trainers he has looked off, if he was still training with Scott Barnett he would have won the fight. Its not to late to save your career Allan switch back and get back to work.
