Miranda: "Hey Winky, Kessler, Let's Do It!"

[Pantera2000]

Bika and Miranda could be a repeat of Bika?Jaidon! Pantera will win, but should be fun while it lasts!

If Kessler wont take it, I hear that Bika will.
I am not sure which I would rather see. Kessler is a much tougher fight, but I think with the styles, Pantera will pull out the upset.

Bika will be a much easier win and would boost Miranda into a legit contender at 168lbs.

I hate to burst you bubble bro, but Kessler is to much for edison right now. he has a chance sure, but let him fight bika, and than a bute type guy, and htan move up to the big dogs like Kessler!

Miranda is a bum.

He is a wild animal who swings for the fences. The two guys he fought with any talent were Pavlik and Abraham . . .hmmmm . . .both his losses. Miranda is like Tyson, he uses fear to intimidate lesser opponents and will ALWAYS get his ass kicked by a figher who uses his head (like Pavlik). Winky and Kessler would have no problem decisioning Miranda.

A Bika/Miranda fight would be great and a fight that stylistically is a good matchup for Edison because of his power. Even though he want's Kessler now and there could still be some questions on if Kessler is still effected by the Joe Calzaghe loss, I still think Kessler outboxes him pretty easily.

Winky has made it clear he's ready to go to wherever the big fight is. Outside of Pavlik or Abraham there aren't really any big fights for him at MW. If Winky is so big into getting a big fight he should take this. I'm sure HBO will be very interested in making this happen, since they wanted Pantera Kessler so bad.

Where have you seen that Winky only wants the big fights? I'm curious because he turned down Kessler. I dont believe he is interested in fighting at SMW, and I really cant see a big fight at MW for him any time soon.

Now Miranda-Kessler... that would be a must see. I really don't see why Kessler wouldn't want to take this fight. Sure, Pantera's dangerous, but so is he. I think that Mikkel would outbox him, wear him down, and either win a clear decision or even stop him. At this point, Calzaghe has nothing to prove at 168, and even though the first fight was very exciting, it was also pretty one-sided. So why would he want a rematch? Is he just hoping Joe will eventually fight him after he's lost it? Kessler is big in Europe, and he could be big in the states. There are so many good fights for him, but he'll probably continue to fight the typical European "contenders". Don't get me wrong, there are some incredible boxers out of Europe. But at this point, I'd love to see Kessler come across the Atlantic. Who wouldn't want to see him take on Miranda, Taylor, or even Pavlik when he eventually moves up? Seriously, Kessler has star power, and is very exciting. He just seems a little timid after the Calzaghe loss. There's no shame in losing a twelve round decision to Joe Calzaghe, especially in a non-stop action fight.

I totally and utterly agree with you on that post, and I simply dont understand why Kessler didn't want the Miranda fight. The way team Kessler responded to Mirandas challenge was really a non-answer. There must be something we (the public) dont know yet.

Kudos to Miranda for calling everybody out. He's an exiting fighter and I hope we will see him again soon.

Too risky for Winky to take this fight at this point in his career, I really doubt he will take a fight against a warrior like Miranda.

Why would kessler care about miranda? i am thinking he is going after the bute's, mundines, frochs, of the division, rather than miranda. plus at this point kessler will destroy miranda. he is not ready for that big of a step..it's a far cry to ko banks, and get in the ring with kessler!

He cant get fights against the belt-holders. I posted on that subject speculating on Kesslers possibilties.

It is a great fight for both Miranda and Kessler.
And dont be surprised if it actually happen in May.
