    I said before the fight that Arthur would win, he has the heart of a warrior and tremendous power in both hands.

    After the controversy of the first fight, he needed a big win, and he got it.

    Well done to Abraham.

          Miranda showed his ass, AGAIN, in this fight. He was very hyped in all 3 of his fights (Pavlik and 2 with Abraham) and should probably look to improve in his defense before coming back. Abraham on the other hand, very very impressive. Started out a little turtleish feeling him out and then just capatilized on the defensive flaws in Miranda with his strong combos. A fight with Kelly is definitely comeing shortly but I doubt he can handle Kelly. Will be an interesting fight nonetheless, but the ghost takes him out in 9.

            I think there can be no doubt that this guy is now absolutely the real deal and should go straight to the head of the queue for a fight with Kelly Pavlik. I never rated Miranda that highly, but to KO him in four, on your US debut, at a higher weight that was supposed to favour your opponent, is almost as impressive a performance as we could have asked for.

            I was especially impressed with the way that right from the off he was prepared to fight his own game and wait for his chance on the counter, even to the point of giving away rounds. It would have been very easy for Abraham to be overawed by the occassion and feel under pressure to chase the fight and try and get rounds in the bank, but no.

            It speaks to me of a fighter who knows his own game, is confident in it and knows exactly how good he is, which are all excellent attributes to have. Most excitingly we now have a genuine challenger to Kelly Pavlik at MW, which is exactly what boxing needs.

            Lets hope Pavlik and Abraham get it on. I am happy to be a boxing fan, this is a great time for the sport.

              Don't worry man. That is a fight that needs to and will happen. Rubio step aside to let two monsters fight.

                Abraham's defense is as good as Winky but he's less active and his power is KingKongness.

                  I've always thought the same of Abraham, no change in my opinion.

                  He still waits too much, and if he can't get his thunder off he can lose a decision.

                  But I tapped him to win, because he throws short straight shots and has halfway good defense.

                    I was impressed by Abraham. I'm a fan now. He seems like nice guy and did a good job of endearing himself to the American public. I did not expect this outcome. Pavlik vs Abraham this November lets make it happen!

                      I was a round off with my prediction. Abraham got in quicker than I expected.
