After watching the first fight, I am totally convinced... Abraham really might be the toughest motherfucker alive.
That flush uppercut in the late rounds on his severly broken jaw? He just put his gloves up and kept going.
I would have probably started crying (literally, I can't imagine getting hit in a severly broken boned area would not make me do that) and quit.
I like Abraham. He's a gritty, tough fellow, he can punch, and he's got balls for getting back in there with Miranda. I hope he gets a dramatic win to better set up a fight with Pavlik.
This fight is going to be a brutal fight. Both can punch. Both are at the weight they wanted. AA has that imitation winky wright defense, Miranda is the mad bomber. Somebody, is getting ktfo, and that is miranda lol. Pantera2000, I had to throw that in there. I was impressed by both and glad Ii got to see the whole fight from a different angle. AA did say no when told the fight will go the the cards. He then nodded to go on when told he would lose if the fight is stopped. Really all of that is irrelevant now. I got the fight on tape and will even make my kids watch it lol. Peace. lol
Thanks for the honest opinion Boof. It was frustrating to me back when we talked about the NO thing.... It is there. Hopefully I can prove you wrong again on Sat night when Miranda KTFO of Abraham. ;)
I tell a lot of people, until you see this fight on real TV it is hard to judge and see what really happened. Youtube may be OK for some things, but not for this fight.
Pantera, it was a good fight. I just hate the weight excuse being trotted out for the Pavlik loss. That wasn't an excuse against AA.
This time it's gonna be no bs. Both are bigger, both have zero excuses.
He was not drained for Abraham. He had trouble making weight, but it was not the same. I was with the team in Memphis and saw Miranda not eat for days, and later found out he had to lose 17lbs in 48 hours. That could kill someone. Yea, maybe it is his on fault for getting himself in that position. He should have found an excuse and dropped out of the fight and not gone in being sick and weak. What a warrior he is for hanging in there and taking that beating for 7 rounds. Pavlik fucked him up real badly.
1. What an incedible display of heart by AA.
2. Neuman really fucked Miranda in this one.
3. For those that missed this, Showtime will rebroadcast it on Thursday June 19 at 7pm PT and again on Saturday June 21 at 3pm PT.
I can't wait for the rematch!
Why I bet on Abraham this time.
Miranda has been down since, and once you've gone down, it's easier to take that route a second time.
We'll see. AA ain't no David Banks.
Both guys should box a little more the next time and quit trying to hit home runs.
Miranda could go down, but I dont see him being stopped. What we saw against Pavlik was a result of him being drained and sick and cause Pavlik was just relentless and never stopped punishing Miranda. I see Abraham getting in some good licks, but not enough to hurt Miranda badly.
As much as I want to see Miranda by KO, I just dont see how Abraham can be stopped. The man is a tank and you just cant seem to hurt him. Ill say it now, if Pantera can KO this beast even I will be very impressed.
Great fight. Controversal as hell. I dont see how you had Abraham up by 2 not counting points Boof. I think you are alone there... But it is what it is. You are entitled to an opinion.
I cant remember a fight in recent histroy that needed a rematch more than this. Bet the over people! I dont see either of these guys going down....
They CHEATED Miranda in Abraham's HOME-TOWN! Without the deductions, there is NO WAY Abraham WON this fight! Both showed TREMENDOUS Heart & Resolve, GREAT FIGHT!
I agree im putting atleast a bill on Miranda
.
Thanks guys, awesome can't wait to watch that again.
I'm dissapointed though, none of the European sports channels picked up the rematch, so I'm gonna have to wait til Sunday to hopefully download it somewhere, hoping I don't get the result :(
there should be a stream at live footy website and myp2p

Abraham is a warrior... but Neuman helped him make it to the bell. The 11th round 'low blow' should have never been called. That could have changed the fight. Abraham needed that break.
I have the fight very close, but not close with the points. I'm scoring it both ways. With and without the fouls.
Without the points I can not see anyway you could have Abraham winning the fight even as this point.
The fight is a close fight. Abraham is showing great heart. Miranda is fighting a very good fight. Edisons eyes is swelling, Arbraham has a broken jaw. Brutal.
Wow, your right. His left eye was worse then I remember this early in the fight.
