    Not a fight I'd want to see, I would have prefered Mundine II. This has an air of inevitability, it's a forgone conclusion Kessler dominates him

    Well - how do you see the fight?

    Miranda cold MAYBE catch Kessler with a lucky punch - but in everey department hes limited, compared to Kessler.

    Miranda WILL catch Kessler with a TIMED right hand. Unlike the Pavlik fight, Miranda will have his sick power. I dont see Kessler being able to take it. He might look good for 2-3 rounds, but he will get caught and the fight will change quickly.

    There is a chance of that. But not likely. Kessler will win easy barring a haymaker. Butt hat is what makes the fight interesting. I dont think that Kessler has fought a guy that could end the fight with one shot at any point in the fight.

    I get tired of this 'lucky punch' crap. To here them tell it, Miranda doesn't train at all. He sits at the bar between fights.

    No, he did not. He soundly lost.

    Miranda could not catch an opponent with a broken jaw - for eight rounds - he was hit back more often then not.

    He is the definition of undisciplined.

    How pathetic is that - not being able to even knock down a guy with a broken jaw?

    Miranda fights hard, and Im sure he trains hard...Truth is he just isnt that talented. He has a helluva punch, and that is and will always be his best shot at winning fights. If he cant hurt or stop Kessler I dont like his chances of winning the fight. Kessler is far more skilled and talented all round, except for power.

    Well, that IS the point. Miranda trains to throw that punch because it is his best weapon. If he lands it, then it isn't LUCK. Power sometimes requires its own style. Otherwise, may just as well go with Olympic rules and forget the term "fight" altogether.

    You don't understand the context of my post. A poster questioned who Miranda had beat at SMW to deserve a shot at the SMW title. I then reminded that poster that people were speculating that he pulled out of the Miranda fight in order to fight for a LHW title. Many Kessler backers accepted this without questioning his credentials at LHW. However, when it's suggested that Miranda may get a title shot at SMW, his credentials are immediately questioned by a Kessler backer.

    Not so outlandish, Slappy Joe easily hit him with some duds, but Miranda will bring bombs.
    Kessler has an achilles heel, that will soon be exposed.
