That would seem a bit risky considering Ward has not shown the best chin and it would be a huge step up. Since he's fighting at SMW now, I would think it would make sense for him to fight one of "The Condender" losers...maybe McCrary, Wayne Johnson, or Max Alexander. Those are decent opponent level guys would he would probably take, but they could push him more than he has been pushed. Even all the guys left on show - Jaidon, Sam, and Bika, would probably be a bit much for Ward at this point. I think he's at least 2 or 3 fights away from being ready for Miranda.Quote:

If he's going to fight Miranda he at least needs to fight some other guys in 12 rounders before he tests the waters with Miranda, and he probably wouldn't even get to the 12th with Edison. JMO
if this happen miranda will fight him with extra passion on cause ward won a olmpic medal O0
This would not be good for Ward....IMO
I agree.Quote:

Yes, he really does.
This would be a good fight.
Miranda is no world beater and it's only a matter of time before Ward is champion. He's one of the more gifted fighters in all of boxing and a knockdown from a temple shot in like his 4th pro fight is the basis behind everyone being down on him.
He can handle pressure very well. It'll definitely be a test but it's something he needs and I think he would do a number.
nice to see american public have taken to him as well as the british have taken to amir.Quote:

Bad match making for Ward. Surely there is an easier way to a title.

Yes, it's important to be challenged and step up, but I agree with most here that this seems to be too big of a step up for Ward. Miranda, is the kind of puncher that could ruin a young fighter.
Miranda seems so tough to me, that I really doubt he's damaged goods. He seems more the type that would be eager to get back in and prove a point.
Still, I would say Ward has a decent chance, it's just risky. Nothing risked nothing gained, but in this game, maybe more than any other, it's important to manage the risks intelligently.
Yeah Miranda seems a very durable, mentally resilient guy. I doubt he's damaged goods; he did take a bad beating from Pav, but I saw no quit in him, frustration maybe, but no quit for sure. This isn't the time to get in with Miranda. I'm very excited to see "Pantera" back in action!!Quote:

From what i've seen and heard about this guy he's pretty decsent and with a 12-0 (8 ko's) record he also doesn't know what it feels like to loose.
A fight against Miranda might be too soon.
Surprised at this one...
I mean they had been taking care of Wards career with hand picking his opponents well and now suddenly in just 13 fights they want Miranda??
So what you will about Miranda and how he lost to Pavlik but we've seen what Pavliks about now so with that being said. I think this fight would your typical cat & mouse fight. The cat being Miranda and going after Ward, while Ward being the car has to outskill and out think Miranda thru 10 rounds.
Ward a fighter from out here that i like against miranda another fighter i like as well. Miranda would destroy ward.
