Miranda vs. Demers: The Night the Judges Got It Right

After 10 rounds of solid action, Colombian Dionisio “Mister Nocaut” Miranda (20-2-1) beat Canadian Sebastian “Double Trouble” Demers (25-2) in Demer’s home town of Montreal, Canada. While Demers used his jab effectively, landed more punches and was busier throughout, Miranda landed the cleaner and more effective shots, particularly when he connected with his big right hand. As analyst Teddy Atlas said, it was the quality of the Colombian’s punches versus the quantity of Demer’s, even though Teddy gave the edge to Demers 95-94.
I had the fight a draw, but the judges had it 95-94, 95-94 and 94-95 giving Mr. Nocaut (his spelling) a SD and the IBF International middleweight title and vacant NABA middleweight title. A knockdown of Demers in round nine counted heavily in giving Miranda the final edge in scoring.
