I don't see the comparison of Malignaggi/Miranda (other than they are both cocky).
Malignaggi is far from an aggressive power puncher like Miranda. The guy only has 5 KO's!
He was not gonna KO Cotto and had never fought anyone decent before this fight.

Miranda showed he can hang with the best by outpointing Eastman before the KO.
Miranda's best asset is his power and has proved that he is one of the strongest pound for pound today.

IMO Abraham is an easier fight than Eastman was. As long as it doesn't go the distance and Abraham gets the German home town advantage, I don't see Miranda losing this fight.
