ABRAHAM -vs- MIRANDA II ~ June 21st LIVE on SHOWTIME!

[LOLORSKATES]

Good question really. Maybe Miranda will try to pressure AA but he is not likely to give any ground. Or maybe Miranda will try to box him and see if he can get a points lead.

Either way I dont see AA moving to much. He is very economical with his energy and prefers standing his ground, blocking his opponents shots. IMO Miranda must give angles to AA and minimize AA's opportunities to set up those big hooks.

It all depends really who carries the weight better. If Abraham doesn't adjust to the weight well, he will be sluggish and won't be as mobile. Abraham of the two has the better feet.

If Abraham wins some major rebuilding is necessary in Team Miranda. If Miranda wins we might look at a III in 2009.

This fight has me so fired up. I can see practically any outcome.

I haven't really given the weight-issue much thought as I doubt it will make much difference. I'm certain AA will come in on the limit and his power will still be sufficient to knock out anybody in front of him. As for Miranda; well he is gonna be BIG when they fight. 160 is impossible for him again.

I wouldn't be surprised if Miranda comes in at like 180.

Im just hoping for fireworks.

Miranda wanted a smaller ring, but Sauerland insisted for the 22"x22" ring. It no doubt helps Abraham. He is good at using the ring during his long breaks from fighting. Miranda will need to cut off the ring much better this time compared on how he did in Germany

And I dont see a 3rd fight if Miranda wins. Abraham would have blown his shot in America and he will blame it on the weight. He will go back to Germany and continue his domination at middleweight there. Maybe buildup again to try again in America, but never again at the higher weight.

And I have just learned that the fight is gonna be shown LIVE here in Denmark on TV2sport! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This surprises me a bit. It appears then that Miranda is looking to put the pressure in Abraham. It could be his undoing. Those nasty counterhooks from Abraham is much more effective when the opponent comes at him.

I am not going to be able to watch it cause Showtime doesn't air **** in Canada. On a second thought, maybe I can catch the fight at the sports cafe. Last time I was there though they had the Pavlik and the Mora fights on mute and on the smaller screens cause they were showing the tape delayed ppv of Math Hughes vs Thiago Silva. Terrible!

[Mizzou]

Miranda is a 2 to 1 dog. Get yo money boo boo.
