Andre Ward vs. Edison Miranda For 2008?

[Jim Jeffries]

Goossen Tutor must have a lot of confidence in super middleweight Andre Ward (13-0, 8 KOs). Dan Goossen has been talking with Warriors Boxing about possibly matching Ward against heavy-hitter Edison Miranda (28-2, 24 KOs) in 2008. HBO has interest in picking up the fight. [details]

Way to early for Ward to be stepping in the ring with someone like Miranda. Miranda KO rd 5.

Ward has chance to beat Miranda.

Miranda isn't unbeatable.

[Cutthroat]

Ward has chance to beat Miranda.

Miranda isn't unbeatable.

This fight will probably be like the Willie Gibbs fight, once Miranda lands 1 big shot on Ward this fight is over. I just don't see how Ward can win, he's going to have to avoid a very aggressive fighter for 10-12 rounds. Miranda is a lot bigger and stronger, an amazing puncher, with a great chin, something Ward has yet to have faced in his career. Remember all Miranda really has to do is land 1 hard shot which is what he did to Gibbs, Green (a couple of times in the fight he landed some 1 punch hard shots which wobbled green), and a lot of other fighters.

Talk about a step up in competition. They must really believe in Andre, because Edison will be more than enough to see if Andre is ready for stardom.

Miranda is a Black Colombian Monster, period. I don't know who Ward is, but Miranda's big problem is his managing. It's cool to bring him up "without much protection", but he needs to start boxing. Pavlik beated him MAINLY because a technique fault. Miranda was worthless agaisnt an opponent who was constantly charging on him. Miranda can take a beating. He has demonstrated that fact by far already. But he could not box backwards. He could not box. With better coaching Pavlik could had gone 12 rounds with Miranda for a Fight of the Century... Can the same be told about this unknown Ward???

When Miranda gets his head straight he kills everyone at 168.

Yeah, because the 168 lb division is so weak right? ROFL.
