Edison Miranda

[Max Molyneux]

Other than Eastman his record sucks.

So what wins before Eastman him got him that close in the rankings?

Suprised Howard was stopped too but he looks shot.

I do not rate Miranda either - he can punch but that us about it.


Eastman should have beaten him.

Must of been Warriors that got his ranking high.

Abraham's going to laythe smack down. 8)

[Razor]

Nah, this guy has a tremendous punch, yeah Eastman should of beaten him... Eastman isnt shot, just too lazy, if he didnt get into a war with Miranda he would of won imo (he was leading on the card if i remember correctly).

Looking forward to this one.... best Middleweight performance I have seen in years (next to Wright vs Trinidad) was Abraham vs Ikeke. Arthur looked awesome that night but has struggled to replicate it and didn't look that impressive vs Eastman. Indeed, Eastman was making him look silly at times.

Miranda is raw but looks to have a decent handspeed, decent chin and exceptional power. He is the Ricardo Mayorga of the Middleweights... He has the power to hurt anyone, and Abraham isn't that hard to hit.

I think Abraham has to start the favourite, but I'm only 60:40 on this one.

Miranda looks hungry, but Abraham seems to have the edge in skills. I'm going for Arthur on points. He can bang himself and he seems to have a better grasp of distance and timing. Plus he's fighting at home.

Shame though.

Thought it shouldn't of been stopped either.

I'm going for Miranda to cause an upset, by KO in 8

Miranda is a dangerous puncher for any of the middles: no one stops Eastman unless they carry serious power.

But as Eastman showed, Abraham has the better chin, and that'll be the big difference.

Abraham to KO the Colombian slugger in 8 rounds.

Your memory not so good!
If Eastman would've survived round 7, Miranda would've been ahead on all judges scorecards 68-62 after 7 rounds.
That score alone shows that Miranda has some skills. You don't walk into the ring with a tricky vertern like Eastman and dominate the cards unless you have very good boxing skills.

Look for a similar result against Abraham. Miranda by mid to late round KO

I like Abraham but I think his lack of variation could see him found out eventually also looks like he'll have trouble with anyone with a good Jab. Not sure if Miranda is the man to do it, though he did much better vs Eastman than Abraham, who I felt was lucky to get the nod.

Please tell me this is being shown on TV?

It's on ARD in Europe (not sure if that is available to you)

[Freiheit]

The fight, and show, have been cancelled!

Eastman should have fired back, he probably wouldn't have been stopped.
