Dan Rafael in his notebook says that both guy's promoters are interested in making the fight and HBO's interested too. Ward's got a Shobox fight Nov. 16 and it could be the next fight after that or two fights down the road.
Talk about stepping up, I mean I don't think Miranda's a great fighter by any means but Ward has been fighting nobody, he's hardly been fighting at all actually.
Big step up, i would put him in with Manfredo first, i think that would be suitable opponent for Ward, Miranda can bang and knock anyone out and i wouldnt advise this fight fro a unexperienced fighter like Ward.Quote:

He's just gonna have to outbox him for twelve rounds, and Ward's chin has looked a bit questionable so far.
That's exactly right, Miranda will put Ward on his ass and hard. If Ward can successfully outbox Miranda and pull out a W, I will be very impressed.Quote:
