ABRAHAM destroys MIRANDA - Bring on Pavlik!

FINAL PREDICTION TIME!

Weigh-in is over, fight is on and they are more than ready, so let's have your final predictions! Also you can tell us whom will you support tonight!




My pick: Abraham by close UD (depends on what kind of fight the judges prefer: accuracy, effective punching or aggressiveness and activity). Also I predict that if it's going to the distance, the result will be disputed by the fans whether Abraham wins or Miranda.

But most of all, I expect a VERY DRAMATIC and very emotional fight! Abraham and Miranda are huge punchers and can take a good punch, and based on the first fight, we can expect a bloodbath!



GO KING ARTHUR!!! :deal

What a sick puncher! 2 rounds of studying Miranda, a better 3rd round and good-bye Miranda in the 4th... Hopefully Miranda is OK, it wasn't a pretty loss!



So, it wasn't Abraham on points but KO, and here are the voters who picked the right guy and the right ending (we can take Tom_Tocca out since he picked Miranda on points :tong )

ALL HAIL THE KING!

 

Yes, the 2nd KD was a result of a wide punch, but Abraham is anything but a wide puncher - in fact, he's very straight with his punches, usually pops out the jab from the great defense and it was a jab followed by a short, accurate, perfectly delivered right hook that knocked Miranda down. That punch did the all the damage and AA only had to finish the remains of Pantera after that. Abraham's defense is much better than Pavlik's (watch other fights than Miranda I-II) and he's more accurate with his shots. Abraham's problem will be the below avarage punch output in the Pavlik fight.



By the way, the 2nd KD was sick and astonishing:

HOLY SH*T, GUYS, YOU GOTTA SEE THIS ONE! :yikes :yikes :yikes

1) January, 2008: referee Telis Assimenios kneeling on his right knee, having his left hand put on his left knee and checking David Banks after Edison Miranda brutally knocked him out - at the ropes at the blue corner in the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood

2) June, 2008: the very same referee Telis Assimenios kneeling on the same right knee, having the same left hand on the same left knee and this time checking Edison Miranda after Arthur Abraham brutally knocked him out - at the ropes at the very same blue corner in the very same Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood!

What difference can 5 months make! And for the similarities, this coincidence looks scary!
