Arthur Abraham vs Edison Miranda Weigh-In Pictures

[Pantera2000]

For the record. Miranda was at the weigh in 15 minutes early. He weighed in on time and was .25lbs heavy. He came back 20 minutes later and was at weight.

Sauerland gave Miranda's team an 'offical' scale to use this week. Miranda was 1/2 lbs under weight hours before the weigh in on that scale. At the actual weigh in on a different scale he was 1/4lbs heavy. Guess the scale Sauerland gave was not too offical!

No one see a connection with Miranda and Lacy? I think the overhype is simaler. People put far too much hype on some guys, and they rarely live up to it.

Pantera sees the connection im sure, he is just silent about it and in his own dreamland.

So fightnew and saurland are both lying to us right? Who cares Arthur is going to win, then maybe we can see him vs Taylor.

********* gets the article from Sauerland. And YES Sauerland is lying. I was there... Doesn't matter, this is Germany, even the locals admit how they do things over here.
Miranda knows what he has to do. He's not gonna win a close decision.

The difference between Lacy & Miranda is that Lacy has clubbing type power that hurts or shakes you up. Miranda has Chico Corrales type power where it's explosive & can KO you with 1 punch. Miranda is also younger than Lacy & has more time to improve his boxing skills. I used to think that Miranda was way overated until I saw the fight with him & Eastman & that changed me. NO ONE has been able to keep Howard Eastman on the defensive the way Miranda did for most of the fight. Even when Hopkins just about pitched a shut-out he didn't stop trying to KO him & that's evidence of Miranda's relentless style & punching power.

I watched the Edison Miranda vs Howard Eastman fight the first day and Miranda didn't impress me a bit. I guess we were watching 2 different fights. Was yours the edited version from the contender?

You're not funny so stop trying. I've seen you post & you're not very objective when it comes to Abraham so I'm not going to waste a word with you.

Apparently someone from East side boxing was also at the weigh in and reported it EXACTLY how it happened. Sauerland is trying everything they can to make difficult on Miranda. But it won't change the result!

Abraham and Miranda make weight - close call for Edison

22.09.06 - Per Ake Persson @ the scales: Edison Miranda and his team arrived early at the congress hall at Hotel Mercure. One could tell by the nervous looks that it would be a close call... Edison first stepped up on the scales in his underwear long before the weigh-in was offically on. He then left the hall with his team. It was announced he had gone to the bathroom. Then IBF champ Arthur Abraham arrived and after a wait for Miranda, Abraham stepped up on the scale and came in **** on 160. The champ looked tense and ready for tomorrow´s fight at the Rittal Arena. Miranda and his team returned and he first stepped on the scale with his underwear, then without but was 200 grams overweight and was given two hours to make 160..

The other fighters on the bill then weighed in: Sebastian Sylvester, 159,75, vs Frank Mezaache, 158,75, for the vacant WBA I/C title at middleweight. Both can punch a bit with their right hands, both are upright ortodox punchers but Mezaache have had his career pretty much ruined by bad hand injuries and that will probably be the difference.

Christophe Canclaux, 153,75, vs Youkri Chentour, 153,25, for the vacant EU jr middle title. Canclaux, once with Don King, have failed to live up to the early expectations but is pretty good anyway and should be too much for Chentour who steps in at a very late notice for Jimmy Colas.

8x3: Vitaly Tsypko, 167,75, vs Stepjan Bozic, 167, in an eliminator where both needs to win to secure their win with Sauerland Event. Tsypko, in training for a fight against WBA champ Mikkel Kessler in May (cancelled when Kessler got injured) should be too much for the once touted Bozic.

Alexander Povetkin, 219,75, vs Ed Mahone, 231,75 over eight. Povetkin continues his education and is moved forward quickly. The fading Mahone shouldn´t be too much of a problem for the talented Russian.

8x3: Yoan Pablo Hernandez, 203,75, vs Jean Claud Bikoi, 201, in a fight where Hernandez needs to show the talent expected of a former Cuban amateur star. This far it hasn´t been up to expectations.

6x3: Nikita Dubunin, 152,25, vs Mazen Gierke, 154 - Gierke could have had a career had someone taken care of him early on. As it is he´s a live opponent for the promising Dubunin.

4x3: Damien Jonak, 157,5, vs Josef Lakatos - who was on his way to Wetzlar during the weighin.

4x3: Andreas Evensen, 129, vs Miloud Saadi, 129,75. Evensen is expected to win but Saadi, 1-5, is a bit like Gierke, at least recordwise.

After all this Miranda returned, stepped on the scales in his underwear, stepped down, took off his underwear, stepped on the scale again and barely made 160 and everyone smiled. Miranda can apparently punch but Abraham, trained by Ulli Wegner, a master tactician, can also punch a bit and should be able to retain the title.

The show begins at 18.15 with ARD televising Abraham vs Miranda and Huck vs El Hadak live.

[psychopath]

miranda got totally owned by arthur there he just staring at 2 middle fingers and did nothing

Well what do you expect Miranda will do in return? Slapped Abraham or punch him?

Well that can wait till the fight proper.
