Miranda Promises Chilemba
"Long Flight Back to Africa"
"Everyone has a game plan until they get hit," laughs
hard-hitting light heavyweight contender Edison "Pantera"
Miranda.
Miranda (35-6, 30 KOs) is responding to pre-fight interviews
with South Africa's WBC #6, WBA #13, and WBO #14-rated Isaac
"Golden Boy" Chilemba, whom he will face in the 10-round
light heavyweight main event of this Friday's (February 3)
ESPN Friday Night Fights broadcast from the Dallas Events
Center at the Texas Station Gambling Hall & Hotel in Las
Vegas.
"It's one thing to study video, but then that leather hits
your face and your plan goes out the window and survival
mode kicks in. Before you know it, you get hit again and
you're lying on the canvas. What happened to your game
plan?"
Presented by Warriors Boxing and Sampson Boxing, "Superbrawls"
will also feature a fantastic eight-round co-main event
between 21-year-old lightweight Hylon Williams Jr. (15-0, 3
KOs) and 25-year-old Cuban power-punching sensation Rances
"Kid Blast" Barthelemy (14-0, 11 KOs), plus fast-rising
heavyweight sensation Magomed Abdusalamov (12-0, 12 KOs) of
Moscow, Russia, taking on Cuba's Pedro Rodriguez (8-0, 6
KOs).

available at Ticketmaster, any Texas Station rewards center

Miranda, who is coming off an impressive KO of world-rated
Kariz Kariuki in Atlantic City last December says Friday
will be a matter of bad timing for Chilemba.
"I have been with my trainer Noni 'Chico' Carbajal for two
years and he is a great trainer. I have never been so
dedicated and hungry as I am now. We had the perfect
training camp and I am ready to make an example of Isaac
Chilemba. If he could feel what I am feeling, he would run
away like (original opponent Yordanis) Despaigne did.
Everyone thinks they have me figured out before they fight
me, but Isaac, I promise you are going to have a long flight
back to Africa. You said you were not going to leave the
fight in the judges' hands - you won't have to since the
fight will be in my hands. You are facing me at the wrong
time in my career. I have knocked out so many of my
opponents. When I walk into that ring Friday night, I have
every intention of adding you to the list."
