MIRANDA
TO HIS FANS: “I’M SORRY” MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER VOWS TO RETURN BETTER
THAN EVER!
HOLLYWOOD, FL, May 21 – It was a disappointing Saturday night in Memphis
for middleweight contender Edison ‘Pantera’ Miranda as he suffered his
first real loss of his career to Kelly Pavlik. But Miranda vows to be
back in the ring and better than ever in the future.
“I’m sorry to all my fans for my performance on Saturday night,” said
the gracious Miranda. “I let you down, but know that I tried my best
with what I had to win the fight. I thank you for all the support you
have given me and I promise that I will return to the top and win a
world championship for you.”
“I realized the importance of this fight for my career, my fans and most
of all, I did not want to disappoint HBO who has been my supporter after
the events in Germany. I was faced with adversities that I have never
had to deal with in this fight, with my weight,” said Miranda. “All
during training camp, no matter how hard I worked the weight did not
come off like it had before. I did not eat or drink anything Thursday or
Friday and still I had trouble making weight but I did not want to let
the network down and my fans around the world. I went into the ring weak
and ill, but I gave it my best effort!”
“To Kelly Pavlik, congratulations on your win; it was an honor to be in
the ring with a warrior who thinks and fights like you do, and I hope we
can fight again in the future. As for my immediate future, I’m going to
take a little time off from the gym to relax, and after talking with my
team, I’ll decide what the next step will be. Who knows, the next time
you see me I may be chasing after a world super middleweight title.
“Know this though, I will be back and better than ever!” |
