this should be an excellent fight. i reckon abraham's the more fine tuned fighter & that should be the difference. but this one should be good.

i agree!! REALLY looking forward to this one!! i am a big miranda fan, and he is a true rags-to-riches story, but would have liked to see him polish to rough edges before going in vs abraham, who could well outbox him if he can avoid edison's power!!

I'm glad Miranda turned down Calzaghe. Would have been a waste of a promising fighter. Especially if Cal poured on a 1006 punch landslide on his head.

Abraham didn't look great against Jantuah. Had a few problems with him. A junior middle as well.

Great matchup - but Abraham will blast out Miranda no question.

I agree this fight should be a cracker... The winner to face Taylor or Winky would be nice

If the winner of this fought Taylor, I think it would be time to get genuinely interested about the middleweight division for the first time since Hopkins beat Tito.

I think Ikeke has moved up to Super Middle, or maybe even Light Heavy. The dude is huge, Middleweight must have been killing him.

There does seem to be more young talent in the division for the first time since the late 80's, although at 27 Taylor isn't exactly young, he's just coming into his prime and has now had three great learning fights, whilst Abraham is something of a force of nature.

Is the Abrahams fight on Sky?

Very Doubtful. I can't think of any of Abrahams fights that Sky have shown.

Eurosport usually cover the german cards so it should be shown on there a week or two after the fight

They showed highlights of Abraham vs Eastman.
