Press quotes:

ARTHUR ABRAHAM

“It is an advantage for me that I already know Miranda. I know how I will fight against him and that is why I know how to prepare. It gives me even more security.

“The fight weight is definitely good for me. I feel even stronger. Making weight can be a real torture but I do not have to do it this time.

“I know that I have to be more active from the first bell on. It is also important to stay concentrated. Miranda is a guy who makes you pay for mistakes. But I will not give him a chance to do so. I will win.

“In the first meeting the broken jaw kept me from showing my true potential. I will make up for that on June 21.”

EDISON MIRANDA

“Abraham is making the biggest mistake of his life. The last time, I broke his jaw when I was weak and struggling to make 160 pounds. At super middleweight I'm so strong it's scary. I'd be surprised if he makes it five rounds.

“The last fight was the worst night of my career because I had the title stolen from me. Now we're on a level playing field and the only thing determining the outcome of this fight will be my fists. And I will get my redemption on Saturday.

“He's a good fighter and I respect him as a fighter. But I will not hesitate to destroy him when we're in the ring. This is a man's business and I don't know if he belongs here anymore.

“Abraham made me wait almost two years for my rematch and on Saturday I will make him pay for every minute I waited.

“I've had my best camp ever. I'm on weight and I'm just climbing the walls waiting for the first bell to ring. After I send Arthur Abraham back home I want to settle another score with Kelly Pavlik. Joe Calzaghe won't fight him, but I will, and it won't be the same story the second time around.”

MIRANDA 165
ABRAHAM 166 (originally 166.5, slightly over after 45 mins but made it after removing the trunks)

Gotta go with Arthur Abraham , Miranda sure has punchers chance with his huge power but Arthur is by far smarter fighter and if Pantera couldn't put him away when Arthur had a broken jaw in their first fight today he will have to knock his eye out to stop him .

Looking for the best price at the moment .
