HOLLYWOOD, APRIL 16 – The controversy over their 2006 bout has subsided some, but when it comes to their competitive fires, Edison Miranda and Arthur Abraham still believe they have some unfinished business to resolve. On Saturday, June 21st, in the US, these two world-class fighters will settle the score once and for all in a 166-pound special attraction that is destined to produce fistic fireworks. <!-- m -->http://www.fightbeat.com/news_details.php?NW=21470
No Kessler ducked Miranda to beat up on Mundine again. :: In all seriousness, we will never know what really happened in that situation.
Well, the press release king's - aka Warriors - have let the last one from Kessler's people stand and they've gone on and made this fight. That could be a hint.
Do you pick Abraham to beat Miranda in the rematch? That's certainly not a given especially with the fight being in the US this time.
No, I think Miranda have a better chance now, I wanted Pavlik to annihilate Abraham, now Miranda might do the job.
I'll back Arab'ham, in a one sided fight that leads to a late stoppage, Miranda will get back into the ring against a 21 - 19 - 7 type scrub with a notoriously glass chin, and knock him out in spectacular fashion, then the world will be his oyster once again. I predict Miranda is going to be the next Zab Judah, granted endless oppurtunities by dull fans hypnotised by press release hype, and the "POWER" (against defenceless tomato tins) SEEEAARRREDD into thier psychies the way Zab's HANDSPEED is.
I too think that Abraham is the real deal....real deal enough to handle the one dimensional Miranda again. Faster than the first time and without a broken jaw. Abraham TKO 11 Miranda.
There is no fucking way Abraham won the first fight. Having said that, he showed cujones for staying in and taking his beating like a man. It's been awhile but he is finally facing the guy who battered him from pillar to post. In order for him to beat Miranda, he has to be more active and back up Miranda. If he is just going to hold his gloves high in a defensive posture and let Miranda whale away to the body and head...he will lose a decision in the States.
even w/ a broken jaw, abraham was able to land sporadic flurries and made miranda look foolish. i expect abraham to win this, again. i had that fight 6 rounds a piece. miranda is a dirty fuck and deservedly got those points taken away. one thing though, abraham did quit early in the fight when the ref tried to stop it on cuts.
I think the key word was SPORADIC. He landed some flush shots, tired then reverted back to the turtle shell for the majority of the rounds. Yes, he did quit early in the fight: Ref:"Do you want to fight?" "No" was the fast answer. But after he was advised he would lose by TKO, he went back in. Abraham does have POTENTIAL. He just needs to be more BUSY.
Abraham has fists made of cement He'll ko Miranda in round 1. He was still beating Miranda's ass in the first fight, even with a broken jaw.
