Miranda Blasts Abraham Yet Again!

Edison Pantera Miranda has not had much to say about his former opponent Arthur Abraham in a long time. But in a recent interview he blasted him for not being a true champ. "Ever since I busted your jaw, you have fought nobody. But here you are bragging to the media about what solid opponents you’ve faced. Who are these guys? It is a joke that you never step it up like a true champion and fight a strong opponent..”

Mitchell & Wisherspoon Victorious in Sewell!

By: Jeff Miller, Ringside

Professional boxing hit the Commerce Bank Art Center in Sewell, NJ last night as Big Box Promotions along with Fighting City Productions put together a five bout card.

The main event was altered a little bit as Derek Ennis was sidelined due to a weight issue. So it was Philadelphia’s Eric “Murder” Mitchell, 21 – 4 (10 KOs), who took the fight with 24 hours notice, mixing it up with Edwin Vazquez, 22- 12 (8 KOs) in a 10 round Jr. Middleweight War. The early rounds were pretty even with Mitchell trying to establish his jab. Vazquez was trying to punish Mitchell downstairs, before getting a point deducted for low blows in round three. As the fight wound down, there was plenty of back and forth action with Mitchell’s hard counter right hands being the difference in the end. Official scores were 95 – 94 x 2, and 97 – 92 all in favor of Mitchell.
