I hope he starts out more active. He gets very wild and leaves himself wide open for a big right hand. An early brawl favors Pantera.
If Abaham wants to win its my opinion his only chance is to do the same thing he did last time out, other wise if he trys to fight fire with fire he will get knocked out. if he fights the same way last time and avoids getting his jaw broke he might be able to steal enough rounds and win but I doubt it I think Abraham is comming here to get knocked out.
I REALLY should let this one lie, but did you see the chat thread with Kelly? It is kind of hard to say for sure, but it looks like Kelly said the only time he thought he might lose was to Miranda............ The chat was very sparse, but I took it to mean DURING a fight.......
Yep! Watch fhe madness and watch how a severely injured fighter was able able to survive 8 long rounds with a broken jaw against a so-called ko artist! Watch for yourselves who connects with the more telling punches in the later rounds of their encounter! Watch round 9 of their fight and then tell me whether Miranda would have survived a single round against Abraham if the Columbian had been the one whose jaw was broken twice and who was bleeding like a shot pig!
Arthur Abraham has arrived in the United States! Press Release: King Arthur Abraham (26-0, 21 KOs) has arrived in the United States for his non-title rematch against Edison Miranda. The IBF middleweight champ left Berlin and arrived in Miami late on Tuesday. "I am really looking forward to the rematch with Miranda," he said before his departure. "I could not show my true potential in the first fight because of the broken jaw. I will make up for that this time out. Miranda better prepares himself for a tough battle." Together with coach Ulli Wegner, King Arthur will spend the next couple of days in Fort Lauderdale. "We are going over early to adjust to the time difference and the climate," the 28-year-old added. "I will be in top shape on June 21st." Wegner has no doubts that Abraham will defeat Miranda once again. "Everything has gone well during the preparation," he said. "I expect a very interesting fight. I am very optimistic because Arthur has trained extremely well. He showed in the first fight how big his heart is and I am sure he will prove it again in America." On their flight to Miami, Wegner and Abraham were joined by Cecilia Braekhus. The First Lady, who boasts a record of seven wins in as many fights (2 KOs), will also be in action on the June 21 show in Hollywood, Florida. "I am thrilled to fight in the US," the Scandinavian beauty said.
Edison Miranda is ready to travel as well! "Edison is in the best shape he's ever been in leading up to a fight!" says super middleweight KO artist Edison Miranda's co-manager Steve Benbasat. "He's already only a few pounds away from the required weight, and he feels and looks great! We implemented a completely new nutritional program into his regimen for this fight, and it is helping in a huge way. The weight is coming off easy, and unlike in past fights, he is as healthy and strong as can be." Miranda will be traveling to Ft. Lauderdale on Tuesday with his team from Puerto Rico. "Pantera is taking this fight personal," continued Banbasat. "I truly believe there is bad blood between him and Abraham, and he is ready to prove to the world that he got robbed in Germany the first time around. You can expect an aggressive Miranda, and a knockout!"

I saw this at a sports betting site: Please tell me how Miranda is the more skilled (also better defensive) boxer considered by bett0rs?
