‘King’ Arthur Abraham is Ready to Conquer America

[MANGLER]

This will be a good one but Miranda will stop him.

[pesticid]

Miranda was saying before the first fight that he would win cause he was hungry or smth like that. Abraham retorted that everybody he's beat was hungry. Now Miranda seems like he's fed, which makes it that much more unlikely that he scores a ko. My concern is the fight taking place in Miama and the judges awarding the decision to the more active but much less efficient Miranda.

Yea, Miranda was fed... then he screwed up with Pavlik and he is starving again. He has a 1 year old daughter now and is hungry as hell. He now is not fighting for himself, but for his baby girl to have a good life unlike he had. If that aint hungry, I dont know what is!

Wow, I wasn't thinking that deep. I was thinking about him being in the SMW division lol.

[MELLY-MEL...]

lets hope the fight is clean. the first was one of the biggest jokes ever seen by the 5 ****ing points (come on now. 1 or 2 fine, but 5?), the stoppage, the non stoppage. gimme a break! disgraceful! newman is the worst ref i have seen.

You just need an excuse so your boy can have an excuse not to run anymore!

Your dellusional buddy...im not going to argue with you...it's your choice who you support and anyone who steps into that ring is a warrior in my eyes (miranda included) but the records speak for themselves.
Kessler lost to Calzaghe sure but Miranda woud be destroyed against either of those guys. Your blinded by your loyalty to "thepanda" and in denial on who the real men of this division are.

By Thomas Gerbasi - The blood was seemingly everywhere, turning Arthur Abraham’s light blue trunks crimson. Every time he moved or was hit, more spewed from his mouth, the product of a jaw broken in two places, the first crack coming in the fourth round. To continue was a decision far and above the call of duty when it comes to sport. This was simply a fight – against Edison Miranda, against pain, against common sense.

“My coach (Ulli Wegner) and me have a motto,” explained Abraham to MaxBoxing through translator Heiko Mallwitz. “‘Dead or alive, but never on the knees.’ I’m a guy who never gives up, and it was a question on honor for me. I never thought about giving up in the fight; it was never a decision for me because I wanted to win, and I will never give up.”
Abraham fought on for eight more rounds at the Rittal Arena in Wetzlar, Germany, spitting and swallowing copious amounts of blood en route to winning a comfortable 12 round unanimous decision over Miranda. And though the post-fight talk centered on some questionable officiating from referee Randy Neumann, who deducted five points from Miranda, there was no questions about the courageous performance of the IBF middleweight champion, who chooses not to look back at his trial by fire, but at the future, which for now means a Saturday rematch with Miranda at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida (Showtime 9pm ET / PT).

Didnt Abraham understandably quit in his corner when asked by the ref? And apparently Uli Wegner, who trained Urkal for the Cotto fight had no problem throwing in the towel and quitting on behalf of his fighter in that one. I dont want to dog Abraham too much here but he is definitely talking out his ass. Miranda is the guy who doesnt know how to quit. How many times did Pavlik knock him down hard and he kept getting up. Thats a warrior.

Wait and see. Yes, you have more bragging rights for now. Enjoy it while you can.

I'm going to have to favor Abraham by decision. Miranda is tough but he has to stop him to have a chance and he had his best opportunity when Arthur's jaw was broken and hanging by a thread.

[juandabomb]

That jaw has only been tested by a bunch of powerless punching stiffs after the first fight. first uppercut that Miranda lands will snapcracklepop that Abraham jaw.
