Edison Miranda and Arthur Abraham rematch
I just caught the replay of the first fight on Showtime. It was a war from the very beginning of the fight.
The decision was very controversial, but I still believe that after the 5 points deducted Abraham would have won the fight, but the deductions were the only reason.
I can't say that Miranda outboxed Abraham, because the sweet science had no place in the ring that night. It was a brawl, like watching a tough man competition.
Abraham showed a warrior's spirit that night fighting with a broken jaw, that put him in obvious pain. Everytime the corner took his mouth piece out he cried out in pain.
Abraham's corner should have stopped the fight. The referee Randy Newman should have stopped the fight. The doctors should have stopped the fight.
Abraham was the man that no one had concern for his safety that fight.
Even though Abraham had a broken jaw, which he took several shots on after the incident. Miranda still could not put him on the canvass.
They traded huge shots back and forth. Miranda definitely came out the better of the two during the exchanges, but several close rounds, the point deductions, and the fact that they were fighting in Germany, had Abraham coming out on top.
I am looking forward to seeing another war like this tomorrow night. Miranda is in peak physical form, and he is ready to hurt Abraham again.
I don't know if Miranda will be mentally ready to fight a man that had a broken jaw, that he still could not put down. Miranda is a knockout puncher, and it has to do something to him mentally to not be able to knock out a man he hurt so badly.
Miranda has since suffered a TKO loss to Kelly Pavlik which may have also had a toll on his confidence. Abraham has still yet to lose a match, and I think they both come in with a lot to prove.
They are not fighting in Germany this time so if the fight goes the same way, minus the fouls, Miranda will definitely take this fight.
I hope that this fight is somewhat reminiscent of last fight, with both fighters coming to fight.
