Mikkel Kessler vs. Edison Miranda

[sparked_85]

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.

yeah.

If Miranda loses to Kessler it doesn't harm his career whatsoever.

Also if it's in Denmark and on HBO, wouldn't he get well paid?

I'm sure Kessler could see out huge venues in Denmark, football stadiums and such.

I think Miranda needs to fight somewhere relatively neutral. He's a badass warrior but the last thing he needs is for the heavy favorite to have home field advantage to boot. Either way its going to be an exciting fight.. wish it was on HBO rather than Showtime though. The commentating whether accurate or not is just more entertaining.

I think Kessler has said he wants to fight in the States so I think this fight will be in the US.

fair enough I suppose.

If Kessler fights in the states it can only be against two concievable opponents Miranda or Taylor.

Is this a big enough fight to top a bill though?

I think it'd do good for BAD or free HBO or Showtime but it has to be marketed correctly and have a good supporting bill.

kessler i think wins UD, miranda always has the punchers chance though

[DrewWoodside]

I think you could get great odds for Miranda by decision. If i bet on this i'd try that. If Miranda does wobble him he may end up just battering him for a few rounds to win a decision. An outcome few expect... Assuming of course Kessler isn't way too slick for him.

2008 has the potential to be the best ever year for the super-middleweight division, if the boxers there are actually willing to face each other rather than just claiming to be the best whilst fighting people who aren't in their league.

Calzaghe, Hopkins, Roy Jones, Kessler, Miranda, Taylor, Bute, Winky. Anyone on that list against anyone else on that list would make for a great match-up. You could also throw Lacy, Froch, Inkin and Mundine in against any on that list and have a very good fight. There's also an outside chance that Pavlik will step up to face Calzaghe.

I think Kessler would beat Miranda, but I'm gonna watch more Miranda fights before saying I'm 100% sure. I rate Kessler highly though, looking forward to a great fight if this one takes place.

[The Hammer]

One thing is for sure, this will be a very entertaining fight!

There's never a dull moment with Miranda. He'll likely resort to low blows and head butts when he realizes he's losing to Kessler.

[BattlingNelson]

Styles make fights. This is a classic match-up of boxer vs. slugger. The boxer in this fight is Kessler and he can slug a bit himself. Miranda is a kinda crude and unpolished with a mighty whack.

I see Kessler winning this fight with straight, crisp counterpunches. Kessler by KO in 8.
