Miranda vs. Abraham: Abraham Held his own, but it should have been closer

[scap]

The IBF said that they was ordering a immediate rematch.

I bet Arthur is laid up in a hospital absolutely thrilled about this news.

Even with your opponent having five points deducted, you can't win the fight, if you can take only one round. Abraham did nothing the whole fight, except hang on for dear life. In Germany that, sadly, is enough. The fight was not close at all.

Most ridiculous fight I ever saw. Miranda should have been disqualified, but Abraham should have been stopped way before that.

And I don't even LIKE Miranda. In fact I was cursing him all night. But the fact remains, since the fight went the distance, and he won 10 or 11 rounds, even 5 points deducted can't take the victory away from him. Never fight a German fighter in Germany!

You still suck till the end of times.
Another thread full with your bull****, that Miranda won 11 rounds.
He lost 3 out of the first four...

How? He threw 10 punches per round, ran, turned his bacl on numerous occasions, and held on for dear life.

Although the other guy was dirty scum, and should have been disqualified in round 11, you need to win rounds to win a fight. 10 punches per round can't win rounds for you, unless the other guy hits the canvas every time you hit him.

Abraham won clearly,i only seen Miranda land flush about 3 times,the rest of te fight Abraham was pretty good on the defence making Miranda miss,everytime he clipped Miranda he hurt him,Miranda wud run back and bend over the ropes,i had Abraham winning 115-109,im glad Miranda lost anyway,hes a dirty fighter,dat headbutt was hard

[Mech.]

"Miranda was deducted two points in the 5th round for an intentional headbutt and two points in the 7th, one point in the 11th for low blows."

5 points deducted. thats not close. it doesnt matter how close the fight was, miranda fought like golota in the golota/bowe 2 fight, but probly with a lot less skill than golota.

having said that, why are you still defending him?

Because taken 2 points away for shots on the belt line in the same round,is bull****.

The headbutt: Abraham held miranda,miranda tried to pull away and side swiped Abraham with his head near the ear/back of the head.Miranda should have been penalized and then you move the **** on,not give the other fighter(Abraham) what seemed like 5 minutes to clean the blood out of his mouth by something that was caused by fists.

On two diffrent occasions the ref pulled Miranda off of abraham,when there was no clinch.The second time he even asks abraham if hes okay,wtf? You do that **** when theres a KD, since when does that **** fly?

Miranda should have at most lost 2 points,but so should have abraham for all the holding he was doing,he would grab the ropes behind miranda to keep him there,or get miranda in a headlock.

Ok... first off I'l like to say I think Abraham is a ****ing warrior! It is unbelivable to me that he was able to hold on and fight for almost 8 rounds with a broken jaw with nonstop bleeding from the mouth.
It is a discrace that the ref overturned the doctors decision to stop the fight and that they put Abraham through such danger. I have never seen this before, and am hopeful for Abraham's sake that this does not ruin his career.
Abraham was put in a neck brace after the fight and taken to the hospital. The fight doctor told me he was very upset and thinks his jaw was crushed badly in many areas.
Before I get into my opinion of the fight and what happened I just want to say to Abraham fans (Googler,Vanes,etc) that your man proved a lot to me by continuring to battle. It might have not been the right thing for the ref and his camp to let happen (against the doctors advice), but it showed amazing heart...

[BrooklynBomber]

This fight really showed 2 things. That Abraham got heart and skills, and that with all that power, Miranda is still an uncoordinated slugger who cant finish his opponent, even when opponents get his jaw on the other side of the head. The only skills that Miranada showed was at headbutting and lowblows.
No need to blame Germany for the result, Miranda had it, but was not smart enough to keep it.
