Miranda responds in kind to Green's taunts

Press Release: Middleweight contender Edison Miranda is not someone you want to take lightly.  But unbeaten Allan Green seems to think that he is in for an easy night when he fights Miranda in San Juan, Puerto Rico on an HBO-televised card on March 3, 2007, even going as far as to insult the Colombian bomber in recent statements to the media.  Needless to say, when informed of these remarks, Miranda was less than pleased. “I’m glad he is doing his part to hype up this fight, but he needs to watch his mouth because I will hurt him on March 3rd,” said Miranda, 27-1 with 24 KOs.  “Maybe I’m thinking of a different Allan Green, but isn’t this the same guy who was knocked down and almost out by his sparring partner last year?  Allan, I’m no sparring partner, and if you’re man enough to stand and fight me, I will knock you out quicker than you knocked out Jaidon Codrington.  I promise you that.  You need to stop living off the glory of knocking out a kid with nine fights and realize that on March 3rd, you are fighting a man.  You can talk all you want, but I will make you pay for every word in the ring.”
