I don't think Miranda ever had to drain to make 168. He was at middleweight for a long time. He has only every lost to quality fighters. Miranda is deffinatley a big risk and has been under rated. Bellew has to be at his very very best to win.
Dont Know if Hearn could deliver a title shot if he wins what Kind of reputation has Miranda got at LHW and how many eliminators has Kell Brook had with the promise of a title shot yet to convinced of Hearns ability to get title shot for his fighters
Brook has had two with Eddie and two with Wazza. People are crazy if they think Tony is ready for Cloud or any of the other proper champs. He needs to work on getting a decent ranking for the next year then go after a world champ.
If Tony wins hearn should go for a few other just below world level fighters. Tony only need 2 or 3 more fights before he gets to world level for me. He'd fill the ECHO quite easily as long as the opponent is decent.
I've got a feeling that Bellew will be cracked pretty hard in this fight and will have a horrible round at some point. People forget that he can be timed with counters..
This will be easy for Bellew, bombs away within 4 rounds. Miranda is under sized and past it. May be fun while it lasts but one sided for sure
the weigh in looked crazy! If Tony leaves his chin open and scraps then he will taste the cancas. Fight smart and just pick him apart!!
Because they made a bee line for one another and got right in each others faces Bellew was timid by his usual standards and Miranda wanted a piece of the action It was tense :good
