Mikkel Kessler vs. Edison Miranda

[TheGreatA]

3:50 of this vid is what's going to happen.

Well, not really.
Kessler will most likely win, either by TKO or decision (if Miranda's chin holds up).

Miranda's chance is to ruin Kessler's boxing with his wild and rough style (Mayorga vs Forrest).
Miranda can punch but Kessler is rarely caught with flush shots so I doubt Miranda will score a KO unless he wears Kessler down and stops him late in the fight.

I see Kessler taking advantage of the numerous openings Miranda gives and countering him all night with straight punches and uppercuts.

But there's really no way to know how Kessler is going to look now that he is coming off a loss, either he comes back stronger or weaker.

It should be a good fight.

I got Kessler by wide UD or late stoppage Mirandas style is to open and will be easy for Kessler to land hes straght punches.

miranda cud ko him wit one punch at any time so its hard to predict

Could he? As far as i know Kessler has never even been down, let alone KO'd.

I hope Miranda smashes Kessler.. It will make Calzaghe's victory over the dashing dane all the less impressive.

And Pavlik's victory over Miranda more impressive.

Then we would get to see Pavlik vs Calzaghe to settle who is the best fighter.

Sounds good but it won't happen.

Kessler will beat Miranda something chronic.

Mirinda is all heart but Kessler is too technically proficent. Kessler will also be able force Miranda backwards like Pavlik did, he is bigger and stronger than Pavlik.

Got to love Miranda could he fight a more difficult opponent? He is a real fighter.

I think Kessler's strength could be his downfall.. He's skilled enough to stand in front of Miranda and that could be a bad idea if Miranda lands. All it takes is one good shot to slow Kessler's legs in which case it would be a really close fight.(probably a stretch i realize)

Kessler just needs to use his jab to not let Miranda get set, Miranda is a fighter that needs to get his feet set to generate his power, Kessler's main weapon will be as always, his jab.

I think Miranda has to try and get past that jab and start pounding at Kessler's body from the get go to slow Kessler down in the long run.

I'm just saying I don't think it's the full walk in the park everyone thinks it is.. I must admit though, i'd have liked to see Miranda test himself against a Pascall or someone of that sort first.. But I guess when a big fight like this is available you have to seize it or miss out forever.
