Well done, Miranda, for stepping up against the best at 168!

Takes balls. If he does well, Miranda solidifies his place in the top 10, even if he loses by decision. There'd always be a fight against Bika - the real test.

I guess Miranda is joining the likes of Bika and Andrade, who are looking to fight the best! Good stuff! Good news for the division!

Good comeback fight for Mikkel after Calzaghe.:good

 

So did I...but didn't think it'd happen, despite Miranda pushing very strong for it. I thought Miranda was bluffing and I thought Kessler could get a better fight...Backing and pressure on Kessler from US networks made the difference.

 

Some have to fight the best when and if they can, hoping they can make it to the top by forcing it, burning the candle at both ends in the process. If they perform well enough, they gain everyone's respect even if they lose. Others, certain of their talent and potential and lucky enough, plan for the long term, take it a bit slower and when they reach the top, stay there. But if they lose, people start to answer questions...Only hindsight can tell which way proves better in the end.

 

Taylor is planning to fight Mayorga...which is a disgrace, as Mayorga is fighting two divisions up...

Winky...well...he's probably just sitting at home, looking in the mirror, asking: Who is the best boxer in the land?

 

Only a man who needs to keep himself in the eye of the storm, who lives by the sword and dies by the sword. A bit like Bika, with more power but less skill.

 

:good

 

Kessler's promoter went on Danish TV to say the fight is close to being made. We can assume it's pretty much a done deal, I think.
