Miranda coming back as super middleweight

Press Release: “I’m back,” Edison “Pantera” Miranda told his promoter Seminole Warriors Boxing, and he wants to rebound from his May loss to Kelly Pavlik. Miranda is back in the gym in San Juan, Puerto Rico, preparing for a late-October return at the Seminole Hard Rock Live Arena in Hollywood.  “I’ve been working out for hours every day and I feel great,” said Miranda, who after a successful run at middleweight will now compete in the 168-pound super middleweight division.  “At 168, my punches are sharper and harder, my speed is still there, and I feel like I can jump in the ring right now.” The classy Miranda doesn’t want to put a damper on Pavlik’s win though.  “I have no excuses,” said Miranda.  “Pavlik was the better man that night, but that fight is in the past.  I don’t think about what happened yesterday, only about what’s happening today and tomorrow, and in 2008, I will be ready to fight for a title once again.  Watch out world, “Pantera” is coming - bigger, badder, and harder than ever.”
