Miranda Wants Froch vs. Taylor Winner – News
March 21st, 2009
By Chris Williams: If I were Jermain Taylor or Carl Froch right now, I’d be plenty worried about what lies ahead of me, because Colombian knockout artist Edison Miranda (32-3, 28 KOs) has made it known that he wants to fight the winner of those two fighters. Miranda looked outstanding last night in stopping Ugandan Joey Vegas (11-5-1, 4 KOs) in the 5th round at the in Bethnal Green, London, England.
Taylor (28-2-1, 17 KOs) will be making his 2nd fight as a super middleweight when he challenges Froch for his WBC title on April 15th at the Foxwoods Resort Casino, in Mashantucket, Connecticut. At one time not too long ago, Taylor was considered to be the best fighter in the middleweight division. However, two losses to Kelly Pavlik changed all that, sending Taylor fleeing from the middleweight division to the super middleweights, where he could make the weight class much easier without having to starve himself down.
Froch (24-0, 19 KOs) has faced mostly limited competition in England. However, he fought quite well in his last fight, beating Canadian Jean Pascal by a 12-round decision in December. Froch showed that he could take a lot of punishment and keep coming forward. Eventually, he wore Pascal out and was able to win many of the later rounds of the fight to get the decision victory. Froch has only rarely fought out of the safe confines of England, and it’s a mystery how he’ll perform when he’s not in front of his loud home audience to give him support.
Miranda looked very dangerous last night, beating Vegas with ease and showing the British public what a world class power puncher can do. The audience seemed to adopt Miranda immediately, cheering him loudly for every huge shot he landed and turning their back on Vegas, who has fought his entire five year career in the UK.

Edision Miranda need to fight Jean Pascal in a elimator bout and Librabo Andrade is in the mixs to.
This guy has been knocked by both kelly pavlik and aurther abraham at middleweight.
so why would carl froch be one bit worried?
Miranda wouldnt be able to stop froch, even so i think Froch has the ability to outbox a lot of big hitters, look at the pascal fight, the first 7 rounds went either way only because froch was desperate to impress but rounds 8,9 and 10 his jab outboxed pascal, leaving him tired and blowing for the final two, the point im making is if froch had boxed more from the start he could have wore him right down and he can do the same to Miranda
Ur a fool your article here proves you no nothing. He looked unstoppable against someone with a very low KO %. Im pretty sure froch has the same if not more power than abraham and pavlik and they have both knocked out miranda. As well as the fact that carl froch has an iron chin. Stop posting your hate articles it makes you look like a whining 12 year old.
Of course he looked unstoppable against Joey Vegas, the guy has lost a third of his fights, only has a 20% KO ratio and was completely out of his depth! I dont think these two need to worry especially Froch as when Miranda faces big punchers (Abrahams, Pavlic) he is usually the one who ends up knocked out despite his own power. He’s just fallen a bit short against the bigger names so far.
I dont think Froch or Taylor need to worry about Miranda. Miranda was talking about a fight with Taylor before his knockout loss to Kelly Pavlik!
