Kessler fought Joe Calzaghe in front of 50,000 people so I somehow doubt he's afraid of Miranda! Kessler is paid very well in Denmark so I seriously doubt Miranda's promoter could cough up enough money for a non-title fight.
Both Miranda and Andrade swing wide, both have good power and poor defence. The difference is that Andrade is a natural SMW with a great chin. Kessler by stoppage, that's my pick
That would suck... yes.. but remember, i had to endure Mayorga vs Vargas... that sucked :-( Miranda vs Mayorga... well i like Miranda more then i like Mayorga as weird as that is, i didnt think a fighter would come along that would fill that space... but regardless of whod i root for i really think Miranda mauls Mayorga... too big :good good question though lol
That would be the smart money. IMO, El Matador could still turn it around with one punch though, even high above his optimal weight (and we know Miranda can be hurt).
I don't think Kessler is running from Miranda. And what do you mean guys that you are glad that this fight isn't happening? Are you kidding me? BRING ON KESSLER-MIRANDA, N O W ! ! ! I'm waiting for the Team Kessler side of the story because the official statement's style (trashing Kessler all the way) is like a bad promo... Probably the offer was low or Kessler's team never had serious negotiations... But Mikkel should jump on this opportunity if the HBO is interested because it's a great fight especially with the contrast between the styles and personalities... This is a very good fight!
I would have to beleive that Miranda is a bigger guy than Andrade. I mean his last fight Pantera was in the ring at 192lbs. That is insane!
Miranda hardly swings wide... Mayorga and Andrade swing wide... miranda doesnt,in fact i RARELY see a true, wide, from the rafters wild haymaker. Most of the time the wildest he gets are overhand rights. he OFTEN throws straight right hands, short left hooks (well as short as they can be with his long arms) In fact his bread and butter is a plain ol left right, down the pipe. His footwork is better then andrades, his balance is better then andrades, his power is better then andrades, his punches ARENT wide like andrades, The punch he knocked out banks with is basically the same type of right hand he throws everytime. A straight right. Would be nothing like the andrade fight outside the outcome... and thats a kessler victory, i just think hes too fast and elusive for Miranda.
Kessler has better technique than Miranda but Miranda is more powerful. I see this going the same way as Pavlik-Miranda.
Miranda looking to duck Pascal again...:-( Im joking i know hes looking for bigger fights but damn Pascal is the only one wanting to fight him so they should do this IMO...Miranda ripped Kessler real bad tought... Kessler TKO 10 btw...
