Miranda: "I will knock out anyone at 160 pounds"

HOLLYWOOD, FL, March 27 – After a stirring seventh round TKO of Howard Eastman on ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights last weekend, top middleweight contender Edison “Pantera” Miranda is eager to take the next step in his career and bring home a world championship. “I predicted a knockout of Howard Eastman on March 24th and I delivered one,” said Miranda, now 26-0 with 23 KOs. “Now I have another prediction – I will knock out anyone at 160 pounds – at least anyone who is willing enough to step into the ring with me.”

Last Friday, Miranda, a native of Buenaventura, Colombia, delivered on his promise with his stoppage of Battersea, England’s Eastman, a two-time world title challenger who had faced the likes of Bernard Hopkins, William Joppy, and Arthur Abraham. Eastman had never even been hurt before, let alone stopped.

“I have a lot of respect for Howard Eastman because he came to the United States to fight me and he never ran from me – he came to fight,” said Miranda. “I heard he went to the hospital immediately following the fight and I wish him a speedy recovery. I know he will be a tough test for anyone in the division when he returns to action.”

With his victory, Miranda has now been established as the top contender for IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham.

“Abraham, Jermain Taylor, Winky Wright, Felix Sturm, I’ll fight any of them at any time,” said Miranda. “My time is now and I will be a world champion.”

Strum-Taylor and Winky will take him to school, Trinadad style!! Abraham is his best shot but after seeing him i think he goes into all these fights as a dog.

as a dog? typo?

Miranda is very raw and jumping the gun a bit, he is understandably riding high because he had a great win over Eastman but his time is at least a year or two away.

Miranda is a good fighter but Eastman had him hurt so I think we're looking at the new Julian Jackson

What did you think i meant he was going to enter the ring in a German Shepard outfit??

UNDERDOG!!

He's still too Green to beat Wright or Taylor. But, you got to like his enthusiasm.

Now that's the way to look at it.

I agree that he is a bit on the green side also...but he does in fact bring excitement to the table. He's just raw & hard enough to give 'em all hell.
