Both fighters came out swinging, which is unusual for Pavlik, who is a slow starter. Both of them landed some big punches. Miranda got hit with a good right and his eyes were a little glossy for a moment. Pavlik trapped Miranda in the corner at one point and the crowd went nuts. (The arena is about one-third full.) At this pace, there's no way this fight goes the full 12 rounds.
