Arthur Abraham vs Sebastien Demers MAY 26th!

[Pantera2000]

After the heroic performance he gave, I doubt anyone can scare him now. He picked a light opponent as he should coming off an injury. Miranda fought Wille Gibbs coming off the Abraham fight, and Arthur deserves one easy one too. If his next opponent is not top calibre, then we start to complain.

Agreed. Although Gibbs was not chosen by Miranda, it was HBO's choice and it was less than 3 month after the brutal 12 round fight in Germany.
But considering the medical questions around Abraham's jaw, I do not have any problem with him testing the jaw against a light puncher.

Lucky for Abraham, Miranda's team allowed the 'exception' for Abraham to take another fight before their mandatory rematch. It worked out well for both guys. Abraham gets to test the jaw before he faces the guy who cracked it, and Miranda gets a shot at the WBC mandatory to fight Taylor. Basically that leaves Miranda choices (if he beats Pavlik). I think he would rather fight for Taylor's two belts if he has the opportunity, and than lure Abraham over to the USA for a unification bout.

Of course. Assuming his team is not foolish, they will go for the big fish, not the revenge fight. It might also be the case that Taylor is a better style matchup for Miranda. Abraham is a bit of poor-man's Winky, and that's not the best style for MIranda.

I'm german and say let the fight happen in the states. First one was in Germany and it happened too much bull****, so its just fair to fight on US ground this time.

u are a man of reason.
