Dan Rafael in his notebook says that both guy's promoters are interested in making the fight and HBO's interested too. Ward's got a Shobox fight Nov. 16 and it could be the next fight after that or two fights down the road.

Talk about stepping up, I mean I don't think Miranda's a great fighter by any means but Ward has been fighting nobody, he's hardly been fighting at all actually.

Big step up, i would put him in with Manfredo first, i think that would be suitable opponent for Ward, Miranda can bang and knock anyone out and i wouldnt advise this fight fro a unexperienced fighter like Ward.

I guess they see the major technique problems Miranda has and see what happened in the Pavlik fight and think Miranda's a fight where Ward can make his mark. But Pavlik beat Miranda by backing him up, Miranda has no clue how to fight moving backward, I just don't see Ward doing that. He's just gonna have to outbox him for twelve rounds, and Ward's chin has looked a bit questionable so far.

That's exactly right, Miranda will put Ward on his ass and hard. If Ward can successfully outbox Miranda and pull out a W, I will be very impressed.

I say Ward is polished enough to put a shining on Miranda. He wins by UD.
