September 21, 2006
The calendar may read September, but it was as hot as July in Germany yesterday, when World Middleweight title challenger Edison Miranda and Champion Arthur Abraham met for the first time at a public workout, just days before they will meet for the IBF World Middleweight Championship on Saturday at the Rittal Arena in Wetzlar, Germany.
Tensions have been running high between the two 160-pound standouts in recent weeks, especially after Abraham pulled out from the bout’s original date on August 26th, claiming illness, and matters didn’t calm down any once the two got sight of each other yesterday.
"Where’s my belt?" Asked Miranda. "You’re only going to have it for three more days, so you should take a lot of pictures with it for memory’s sake to show your children."
The unbeaten knockout artist from Colombia then proceeded to give Abraham the throat slash gesture while the two stood face to face. Abraham giggling like a ten year old child, obviously displaying his lack of confidence, responded with two middle fingers. While Miranda glared back with stone-faced stare.
But while there is an obvious dislike between challenger and champion, Miranda made it clear today that his animosity doesn’t extend to the German people, who have treated him royally since he arrived in the country.
"The people of Germany have been great to me," he said. "They have an extensive knowledge of boxing and I appreciate that. They are going to be extremely blessed to see a memorable middleweight world title fight on Saturday. The only person that won’t be so blessed is Abraham, but he is not a real German anyway. He is from Armenia."
The only thing left to do is ring the bell.

I can't believe you guys are actually arguing about who has more class - a guy who makes throat slashing gestures or a guy who flips people off. Talk about wasting time and energy ... They should can the whole pre-fight staredown bull**** and the weigh-ins, but I guess people love it for some reason, believing it's some kind of indicator for what's going to happen in the ring.
I'm hoping this will be a good fight, and I don't care who wins.

Im not going to argue with you anymore. Talk is cheap. Your going to be there at the fight and will see what is going to happen to your favorite fighter.All I can say is good luck cuz ur going to need a lot of it. And **** you if u got problems with Armenians. Just like ABraham was right up in Miranda's face sticking the middle fingers up, imagine me doing that **** to u buddy.
For some reason u and Vanes are too ****ing sensitive about your country and people. Damn buddy, what the ****?
I need no luck and either does Pantera. He will **** your homeboy up and that will be the end of this nonsense. Until than talk all the **** you want, time is ticking baby, and the end of your bs is near!

I hate to break it to you armenians, but frankly, its hard to be predjudice against a group of people so far gone and spread out throughout the world. I mean, how many armenians actually live in armenia? 3million? Ive met armenians from iran, germany, turkey, all kinds of places. Frankly alot of posters on here wouldnt even know what an armenian is if it wasnt for you guys. I dont think anyone here is predjudice against armenians, going for one fighter against another doesnt mean biggotry.
