Miranda vs Kessler - ALMOST A DONE DEAL!

[Pantera]

Great news!
The Kessler team came back to the table and everyone has agreed to the important numbers. Showtime will pick this up for a May 10 fight.

A great fight for us fans and a win win situation for the fighters.

I couldnt be happier! I hope my boy can prove his weight at 160lbs was an issue and he is gonna back bigtime at 168lbs.

[THE THIRD MAN]

I really hope this fight happens, unlike Mundine Kessler is prepared to take a risk by fighting someone like Miranda. This will be a good fight!

[Galaxy]

Never thought Kessler was scared! Great news that it maybe on! I think Miranda is in trouble here! Kessler has nearly every advantage IMO

[No Contest]

Good style match-up, hmm right now I'm picking Pantera because I don't think Kessler has enough pop to stop the assault.He could have had the hand problems, I don't remember what happened with that but he didn't look like he was gonna stop Joe with that right. Could be another Andrade type of fight though for Kessler, completely outboxing him.

Although I think Miranda loses, I will be hoping he wins.

A trash talking, exciting, power punching cat! You gotta cheer for him. Sure he is not that skilled, but who cares!

2008 is keeping pace with 2007. Some great fights being put together.

I am a big fan of Edison but IMO this is a bad move on behalf of his camp...Miranda still needs a lot of adjustments before he fights guys like Kessler...Power alone is not enough

Do you think Miranda will stand up if Kessler hit him with these bombs I DONT THINK HE WILL

I thought Joe was gonna go down after that uppercut...

[Majesty]

That article Mick quoted was released last week and was poste here by Pantera late last week.

This is a fight that should be made. Any Miranda fight is exciting, but if you add the focused, intimidating Kessler you have the potential for a great great fight.

Fair play to Kessler if this comes off, thats a very stiff comback test.

I like Miranda but in the same way I like Mayorga, I like watching him get beat up.

Miranda is going to get beat up.......again.

[Bomp]

Miranda probably thinks this is a good time to fight Kess. Fair play to the guy, he calls out all the big names and genuinely want s to fight them, he losses this on though.

[CutMeMick]

I think it'll make for an exciting fight and I also think Miranda will get some shots in. Not enought tho to pull off the win but I think he will test Kess more then what people think.

People ONLY mention the Pavlik TKO and all but think back and watch the fight and see how much Miranda landed and connected.....

Exactly!. He will test Kessler. Miranda has underrated reach and he will find Kessler's chin. Miranda can get sneaky shots in and Kessler, from what I have seen from him, pulls straight back often.

People like to refer to Miranda as some overly crude wild brawler. He is not as crude as people think and he gave two current world champions a run for their money. One of them ended up with a broken jaw, the other fought him in the trenches which smothered his shots. Which route will Kessler take? Well he is not a trench type of fighter so Miranda will be packing some steam on his shots.
