Showtime will show Miranda vs Abraham I

[Pantera2000]

Great news for the American public!
I hear Showtime will be showing the original fight with English commentary. This will be the first tme (other than the youtube crap) this side of the world gets to see this 'historic' battle. I do not have the dates of this replay, but I will post them here when I find out.

[Executioner]

good to know.

for some reason, i have a hard time enjoying a fight when i don't know what the fuck they're saying :yep

[KayEpps]

OK - that sounds like a plan. Me and a homie of mines were talking about this yesterday and I was telling him what I know about the fight - from reading about it - but I've never really seen the actually fight. I'll be on the look out for this.

Hmm--rewatch Pantera break a mans jaw but still lose the fight because he cant close it out? Would looove to see it again.:hi:

Being from Ohio you have obviously never seen a good quality version. Watch it on HD Showtime and maybe you will see why Miranda couldnt stop him.

HD is going to show me something different?

No doubt. youtube quality is horrible to watch this fight. I have watched both (HD verison and youtube) and you miss alot of what happens on youtube. Wait and see...

[marauder1999]

Just going to show me in clearer fashion how a man with a broken jaw still wins a fight and how the other fighter couldnt beat a man with a broken jaw. Clearer of course.

[Serenata]

In HD you see Mirandas face after the fight knowing that he lost. His whining started much later. :)

But no dought it was a controversial match. Bad judging, many illigal blows, tons of blood...

[Thread Stealer]

That's great, now I wish I hadn't spent that money awhile ago ordering this fight from an internet seller. :?

[Serenata]

Just seen the final of the fight. There is nothing of an upset in Mirandas face, he even holds Abrahams arm high...

...but I must admit that Abraham IS running away in the last rounds. :D

[41fever]

good, hopefully we see the real whole fight and how crooked the ref was. It wasn't a classy professional fight...AA recieved toooo much time to recover for bogus reasons. If he wouldn't of gotten all that kitty home town love he would of gotten KTFO

Didn't they allow the doctor to work on Abraham's mouth in the middle of the round? Shades of Gatti-Hutchinson.

Newman was too harsh on the low blows also. Most of them were borderline.

[Lampley]

Granted, I've seen only the Youtube version, but I thought it should have been a TKO victory for Miranda.

Should be a great rematch.

[Pimp C]

Good I've never seen this fight.

Miranda was asked about this and he said he held his hand high to respect the fellow fighter for being a warrior and finishing the fight with such a brutal injury. It was not Abraham doings what happened with Neuman's horrible decisions and actions. He just did what he was told to do, make it to the end and he was guarenteed a win (as said by Wegner towards the late middle rounds.)

good now everyone can see all the bullshit that took place.

[Brooklyn Boxer]

When is it going to be on Showtime? What time is it going to be on?

Sweet! I can't wait for this fight! Both of em!

He had respect to the fellow fighter? :rofl

The fellow fighter he made the slit throat gesture?
The fellow fighter he want´s to funt and slaugther like a pig?

Sounds not that realistic..... :bart

You dont watch much boxing do you?
All boxers show 'love' to each other after the fight and have respect.

Look how Tyson treated Lewis before and after. How about Mayorga and Oscar? Cmon man, the hate disappears quick after a hard fought war. The bottom line is they are professional athletes and know how hard each other work to get to this level. Sometimes the hate is just for buildup, sometimes it is real. But at the end of the day, boxers hold a high regard of respect to their fellow competitors.

[Hermit]

HD is going to show me something different?

Check for a PM I just sent.

[King Dan]

Miranda should have been awarded a TKO victory when Randy Neuman took him over to the doctor and the doc said to stop the fight because of the brokern jaw.

End of story.

[boxingwizard]

I've never seen it either, It should give me clues to how the rematch will go.

Not uncommon for guys that have faught each other to pay respects after the fight is over. Happens all the time in all sorts of venues. Both things you mention are pre fight hype.

everyone who thought abraham won please read this at least 4 times.

[ChrisPontius]

Regardless of whether or not it should've been stopped after the broken jaw, it wasn't. Do you hear anyone saying Ali should've been stopped against Norton the first time after he broke his jaw?

That said, Abraham did get a lot of time to recover although that jaw obviously didn't heal in the minute's break. Miranda failed to impress in the later rounds and lost most of the early ones, plus the low blow point deductions = a loss.

Good thing the fight wasn't stopped then, huh? :good

I'm highly anticpated for this fight.. Perhaps even more than the Cotto/Margo fight.. I have HBO, but not Showtime, but I'm just gonna' order it for the night..

[Sandmanl337]

Err.. Was thinking of the second upcoming fight at first.. Still might just order SHO to see it again..

[pipe wrenched]

Thanks Pantera!! Will watch for you to post the date, if I can't find it on my guide. Look forward to seeing this on the TV, with English to boot.

[PolishPummler]

When is this re-air going to happen?

All boxers show respect to each other after the fight? I don´t think so. Miranda behaved like an a**hole before the fight in germany and a few days after. Besides that one moment directly after the fight were he knew he lost the match...

Pantera2000, I apriciate you for being a fan or maybe even a Miranda staff member and provide us with interesting information but I don´t think youre realistic concerning that point wich is ok for me because I also am a fan, just for the "other side".

The first fight was a close one and perhaps Miranda wasn´t meant to win the fight that time. Both fighters made big mistakes in that fight (for example Abraham by opening his mouth wile recieving a punch = cracked head and Miranda for desperate seeking a ko even by headbutting and doing low blows.) The judges and the referee clearly weren´t capable of doing there jobs that time. We can argue both ways but 100% no one is right.

I hope the second fight will settle things one and for all.


...and may the better fighter win regardless who this might be....

This is really good news. I haven't even seen the fight yet, but I will definitely be tuning in if Showtime airs the fight.

Not "all", but it is very common for fighters to show good sportsmanship after all the trash talk and mind ames before the fight.

My point is... If Mike Tyson can bite off Lewis' ear and threaten to eat his children and still show respect and love after the fight, then I think Edison Miranda might have had it in him to do the same by raising Abraham's hand. :good

Well he bit Lewis's leg, but yeah, they showed good sportsmanship after the fight.

Funny how Holyfield forgives Tyson for biting his ear, but still dislikes Lewis for "assassinating his character" when he commented on Holyfield being a hypocrite.

I wonder if Holyfield is really just more mad at Lewis for beating him in the ring.

Leg, ear, Holyfield, Lewis... Tyson did so much crazy shit you can lose track! :D
