Thread: Miranda vs Abraham

Two top undefeated middleweights battle it out for the IBF belt and hopefully a shot against Taylor shortly down the road.

Miranda has a punchers chance, but I think Abraham will outbox him to get the UD. Miranda is open with his defense and Abraham can take advantage of it and score a (T)KO.

Yeah Miranda gets caught to easy & cleanly, Abraham will be to much for him, stop him early

I would be real surprised if this fight goes the distance and whoever has the better chin will win and I think Abraham has the better chin. Even though Miranda nocked out Eastman he was almost knocked out himself and really needs a few more fights to hone his skills and thus probably needs better managementas well.

Miranda was stunned by a shot to the temple by Eastman who has 35 KO's in 40 wins so he can bang!!

34 Ko's but you make a good point!

when you get hit hard on the temple, no matter how hard yor chin is, your legs will shake! and against a guy like eastman who can bang, yoo must have a hard nut to not get ko'd. i saw that right, it was in delivered downward, very heavy punch, because of its angle!

So you think Miranda should turn down the oppurtunity to fight for the belt and his first decent payday to fight some scrubs for little money? I think you have no idea what your talking about! Most people thought him stepping up to fight Eastman was too early. I really think Arbraham is an easier win for Miranda than Eastman was.

The truth is that I have spent a lot of time in Central America around alot of boxers and know that they are taken advantage of and especially columbians and Panamanians. Miranda has not fought anybody but Eastman and almost got knocked out twice by a way past his prime fighter who got beat by Joppy.

You obviously either dont know what you are talking about or just dont care about Miranda.

I happen to know a lot about Miranda. I know he was pretty raw when he fought Sam Reese, his first 'legitimate' fight. Since than he has sharpened his skills and improved greatly with each fight. He is the hardest working and best conditioned athlete I have ever seen. He has more heart than any boxer and no fear.

You say Eastman was old and worn out. Well this same old guy almost beat Abraham a few months before the Miranda fight. Everyone said Eastman has a rock solid chin and was impossible to hurt. Miranda hurt him so bad in Round 5 that all judges scored the round 10-8. He finally finished the job in Round 7. Yea, he got hurt twice in Round 6 (especially at the end), but he showed how big his heart is by coming back strong.

Miranda is now training in Puerto Rico with the great tutelage of Jose Bonilla. Bonilla has trained many great Puerto Rican fighters like Tito. Quintana, another of Bonilla students, just put on a great show against Julio.

Trust me, Miranda will wear Abraham down and KO him within 6 rounds. When that happens, just tell me I know a little a bit about Miranda and what the hell I'm talking about!!!
