Miranda vs. Ward is Close, May 16 on Showtime
By Mark Vester
According to Jose Bonilla, trainer of super middleweight Edison Miranda, the next fight for them will come against undefeated prospect Andre Ward (18-0, 12KOs). Bonilla says the fight will take place on May 16 in Oakland, California [Ward's hometown] with Showtime televising the card.
Ward, a 2004 Olympic gold medal winner, would be taking a serious step up but it's a step that would make him a serious contender at the weight. The fight is a must-win situation for Miranda, who needs to come out on top in order to remain as a serious threat at the weight.
"It is an attractive fight for us. If Ward thinks that he is going to arrive for a [coming out] party, he will be in for a surprise," Bonilla said to Primera Hora.
