Joe Goossen Looks To Overhaul Edison Miranda
For the past four months, Goossen and Miranda have been working together to tone the Colombian’s craft. But the famed trainer figured right away that improvement is needed in order for Miranda to regain the success that he had before. “Edison is like a student that is taking a math course, doing basic math, but he should really be doing algebra,” Goossen said. “That’s mostly it. He was just doing some basic stuff in the ring. There was not a lot of variety to his style. He would track you down and throw the right hand. That could help you up to a certain point but when a guy can move around like Andre Ward did, then you have to have another style in your pocket that you are able to use.”

Joe Goossen has made a name for himself by resurrecting the careers of fighters, with Diego Corrales being the most notable. And on October 22nd he will attempt to do it again when Miranda (32-4, 28 knockouts) takes on Francisco Sierra (20-2, 19 knockouts) at the Tachi Palace, in Lemoore, Ca.
On May 16th Edison Miranda lost a lopsided decision to Andre Ward in Oakland, Ca. Although the fight was exciting, Miranda did not have an answer for Ward’s consistent movement, and a once promising career seemed completely to be on the downward slope, to put it mildly. Less than thirty days later, Miranda sat with his team to discuss how he could right the ship. They began a search for a new trainer, and it ended with Joe Goossen.
”I met Edison Miranda for the first time in Oakland. We had a short little meeting. And my first impression was that I liked the kid,” Goossen says about his new protégé. “I spoke with his manager shortly after the fight and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.”
