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

There are a few unbeaten guys like Mendy, Gutknecht and Murat who make for interesting opponents.

Bika, Sartisson and Inkin would be respectable choices.

So maybe Miranda wasn't very ill, but just wanted the higher profile Bute fight with a large HBO purse instead of a chance of winning against the unknown Stieglitz? SMH.

Not a chance. A win over Stiegltiz first would mean big money against Bute to unify the belts. Right now the Bute fight wouldnt be very lucrative for Miranda. He wants Stiegltiz badly. Trust me, for him to drop this fight he was deathly ill.

Murat is now a LHW I think.

Bika is probably too dangerous and likely will not step forward on such short notice.

Sartison now holds the WBA regular title.

I doubt Inkin will take the fight on short notice since he's about to become mandatory.

I don't know about Gutknecht or Mendy.

You couldn't see me as I made the post bro. I was slightly lolling and hoping to get you slightly aroused

Still how much time did he lose? 2 weeks?

ahhh, you sly dog. Yea you got me going!
He lost about 1 full week before this week but was still unable to train going into this week. It didnt look like he was gonna be anywhere close to 100% before he had to travel and who knows how much longer it was going to effect him. Disappointing, but the right move.
