Like Wacko, all I can say is go Howard, but if you lose tomorrow, then curtains please.
On paper that looks bad yeah but when you look closer at his losses :

* He beat Joppy in almost everyones eyes but didnt get the decision in Vegas .Even though he floored him in the closing seconds he can blame himself for not injecting enough pace

* Bernard was p4p number at the time Eastman met him and no way did he have the ideal prep to go in with a ring genuis an win . Out of his depth IMO but did well to go 12 and not taste the canvas

* Abraham did nothing to win the fight IMO . Howard should have known away from home he was guna get screwed but he didnt learn his lesson from the Joppy fight .

* I saw the Miranda fight in Vegas and was thinking its unlike Howard to fight at such a high pace. He did quite well against the unbeaten prospect . He almost had him out at one stage but he he got caught backed in the corner and the ref stepped in . Initially I thought it was a quick stoppage but from what I hear he trained in his homeland and didnt put in the effort

Hes done the same for tonights fight with Williams . I think the weight will be a deciding factor . Both guys are class. But teh mental advantage Howard has form his 3rd round K.O win over Williams in the ametuers should see him through to a victory here .
