Kessler vs. Miranda for the vacant title!

[Degsy]

I tell you whats gonna happen! Read on:

WBA has a supermiddleweight super-champion in Joe Calzaghe and a regular champ in Anthony Mundine. Calzaghe will vacate his title after the Hopkins fight and all indications is that Mundine drops to middleweight after the Soliman fight. This leaves the title vacant.

The latest WBA rankings has Kessler installed as official challenger and Edison Miranda has had a sudden rise to the no. 2 spot.

HOCUS-POCUS. The fight everybody (on this forum) has been talking about is a reality for the vacant title!!

Everyone is happy: Miranda gets Kessler and Kessler gets a titleshot.

Look for HBO to make this happen in early June!!

That would be good, I don't think that Kessler was ever scared of Miranda, he was just after a better deal (unfortunately, he has the Danish equivalent of Frank Warren as a manager).

Interesting news on Mundine going down a weight, has the food shortage in South America caused a continent wide weight loss in its road sweepers????

read somewhere today but cant find it now that miranda may be fighting saiko bika next. anyone know more?

pantera you seen this anywhere today?

[Pantera2000]

pantera you seen this anywhere today?

Yes. It is false. Miranda has working on another big fight if Kessler (Palle) wont sign the deal.

[Degsy]

We could do with a few more fighters like Miranda and Glen Johnson, guys that aren't afraid of who or where they fight.

Mundines is looking for a rematch with Clavero. And Clavero has moved down to MW. So Mundine has followed him.

Geese you are a tosser.

Just wait for an announcement you big girl.

Kessler is ducking Miranda and its embarassing.

Mundine is ducking Kessler my freind.

[Eshays!]

Mundine is the new Ottke for pponent choice

His is ducking keesler massively, It'll be a struggle for mundine to drop down to middle & then get a title shot as non of the current middle champs are too keen on taking any risks, spesh since mundine would be a high risk low gain kind of option. I very much doubt he;ll past up a shot to become full SMW champ as well

I just noticed that mirandas at least 10 in every organisation for SMW, whats the go there?

Miranda was ranked high in all organizations as soon as he officially moved up. Since the Banks fight he creeped up a little higher. Ring Mag even had him #10 until Taylor moved up to SMW.

I just checked the objective computerized rankings of the IBO. Kessler is rated 4 behind Calzaghe, Taylor and RJJ. Miranda is 21....
