On Saturday, Andre "SOG" Ward fights Edison "Pantera" Miranda on a special edition of ShoBox "The Next Generation". Ward is the betting favorite and has been picked virtually every media person. Below is my prediction that will appear on SecondsOut.com later today:
I'm going with Edisona "Pantera" Miranda in an upset. Andre Ward has fought absolutely no one of note since turning pro and winning the gold medal at the 2004 Olympic Games. Ward is an athletically gifted fighter, but I feel that too many people are just writing Miranda off. Miranda is a free-swinging brawler, who if he connects, will knock Ward out. Ward is going to look to establish his jab and box Miranda from the outside, but Miranda will press all-night. Miranda has lost three times, twice to No. 1 middleweight Arthur Abraham and once to current middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik. And many thought Miranda won the first Abraham fight. Ward seems to be just another overhyped Olympian and I'm going with Miranda to expose him in front of his hometown fans. Miranda KO Late Rounds

I tell you, Ward is one of my favorite fighters but Pantera is a beast. Still, Ward throws straighter punches. I'll take Ward by decision.
