....a rematch with taylor would be great, most had miranda winning without the fouls so that would definatly be a good fight. The only two problems i see is miranda sounds pretty set on only fighting at 168, and i don't think abraham would want to fight him again...good win for abraham i think he's almost there and just a little bit away from giving some of the top guys at middleweight all they can handle.

I'm pleased to see AA racking up some wins, I will hold comments 'till I see the fight.
Hopefully tonight.

I've been a hard critic on AA on his last performances and the style in which he fights. I think someone with good ahnd speed and volume punching will give him lot's of problems... AA in his last performances stood around for too long staring at his opponents and letting them fire off 1st. Taylor IMO gave him issues, lord know Miranda gav' em fits.

Even more pics...

BTW I hope Gevor didn't suffer any lasting injuries...
Again... he took quite some bombs and the KO was really brutal...

The reason Miranda did so well against Abraham was the fact that Abraham doesnt come forward and pressure alot if at all. In a rematch I think Abraham wins because he now knows by watching Pavlik, that Miranda cant fight going backwards. I would like to see him in a unification bout. Maybe the winner of Pavlik/Taylor?

My worry is that the winner of Pavlik v Taylor will just look at Abraham and think that he doesn't have enough profile in the States to make the fight against him, which is why I think he needs to fight someone with a reasonable reputation in the US before to get the bargaining chips to make the fight v Pavlik or Taylor.

The winner of Mora-Ouma then?

Abraham's problem is that there is actually not that many middleweights around that would both be considered worthy opponents and who has a name in America. It would be too soon for John Duddy and then we are basically left with Winky Wright (if he is coming back to 160), Taylor and Pavlik. Perhaps Giovanni Lorenzo, but he is still pretty green as well. Or he could fight an established veteran like Howard Eastman or Bronco McKart, who both have had pretty solid wins recently. But would he get credit for beating them?

My preferred option would be unification against Sturm. That would give whoever wins a pretty solid bargaining position for an American campaign.

Sounds like a good win for Abraham, He just needs to keep ative and then fight the Taylor-Pavlik winner next year.

Well thought out mate, CC. The winner of Mora v Ouma would be okay, or the unification with Sturm. Eastman and McKart might make for keep-busy fights, and an introduction to the states where he could look impressive (though Eastman makes anyone look bad).
