Comments Thread For: Edison Miranda Withdraws From Bout With Robert Stieglitz

[Kevin Malone]

I think he is a solid fighter... He split two fights with Berrio and he beat Dennis Inken(spelling?) to win the title. But, Dennis was the weakest title holder IMO. So I think he is a solid fighter.

Would he have any chance against the likes of Lucian Bute, Andre Ward, Mikkel Kessler, or Arthur Abraham?

I see Ring has him ranked 9th at SMW.

no he beat Karoly Balzsay who had beaten Inkin for title

That is right my mistake... After I posted I knew it didn't sound right...

I think Bute, Ward, and AA beats him quite easily IMO. I just think those 3 are on a 3 different than anybody else at 168.

And, with Kessler it all depends on how much Kessler has left TBH. I think Kessler would beat him. But, I would not be surprised if Stieglitz beats him.

I think Froch would KO him. Froch has the power and Stieglitz does not have the speed, athletecism, agility that Dirrell has. Froch will catch him and last something.

If Stieglitz is good then he should be able to beat Taylor... So match up would be interesting. To see how it unfolds.

Cool. Thanks for the response.

ah man this sucks. iv seen alot of pantera and admittedly nothing of steiglits but i was thinking this was a very winnable fight for miranda

[trufightfanatic]

i like Edison, he goes hard from bell to bell. i just ope its nothing too serious. he wouln't be withdrawing from a fight if he could help it

[Ben_London]

Wow, a fighter withdraws from a fight and it seems like everyone on here believes his reasoning! First time for everything!

Miranda is over as a first-tier contender.

Miranda is over as a first-tier contender.

I thought Abraham and Ward already showed that ^

[The Hammer]

Stieglitz is easy to hit and doesn't have a strong chin, so this was the best opportunity Miranda will ever have to win a world title.

I wonder who will replace Edison on 11 days notice? Or will they just postpone the fight?
