Let's talk Miranda vs Abraham

go2guy · Aug 20, 2006

I think this bout is not going the full 12 for several reasons:

1. Miranda is fighting in Germany and knows it's hard as hell to get a decision.

2. He already has made his intentions clear in interviews that he plans on knocking out Abraham. Will he be reckless in his attempt and get caught himself?

3. Both these guys can crack especially Miranda.

I'm waiting to see what options 5 Dimes put up so instead of playing the under 11.5, which I think is a good bet BTW, I can play Miranda to win inside the distance for a decent amount and Abraham to win inside the distance and/or by decision for a much smaller amount instead. If the inside the distance odds are not to my liking, I might just take Miranda to win straight up. I think he stands a good chance to pull off the "upset" if he can score a couple of knockdown in the fight.

Where can I watch this fight??? It's on Das Ertre in Germany from what it says at 5 dimes.

Very intriguing fight...try this website...StreamTVnow

I have a pending wager on Abraham -250 but I'll probably hedge with Miranda inside distance or the Under hoping to hit both.

I played Abraham a while back b/c I was extremely impressed with his performance against Kingsly Ikeke. And I watched Miranda get seriously hurt by Eastman twice in the 6th round. With this fight being in Germany I can't see Miranda winning a decision here. And since Abraham hits much harder than Eastman, I can't see Miranda going 12 rounds here. Those are the reasons I played Abraham early.

However

I didn't see the fight but I read that Abraham was also hurt by Eastman, who doesn't hit near as hard as Miranda. And I expect Miranda to be extremely aggressive here. So theres always a chance he catches Abraham and goes for the kill.

Both guys have been hurt by a lessor puncher in Eastman...and...both guys have more power and are much faster than Eastman. So the Under 11.5 at -140 looks very solid

Still thinking on this one

I know I'm going to pass on this fight. Too much uncertainty for me and not any value offered at this point in time.

I've requested this fight get streamed, but it's just me and one other guy who have. BL, if you use streamtvnow, sign up on the request thread. It's hit the second page already.

This fight has been postponed, Abraham claims to be sick

Voice...if the fight is rescheduled for September as planned, we'll need to use StreamTVnow or a similar website to watch the fight.

I was wondering why Pinny pulled it.

According to sources, Abraham has a terrible flu and was in no shape to fight. Entire card was cancelled.
