TEAM
MIRANDA SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT!
HOLLYWOOD, FL, September 22 – As Edison Miranda prepares for tomorrows
IBF Middleweight World Title fight against Arthur Abraham he finds
himself in a defensive stance to erroneous comments that he has been
late to yesterdays press conference and today’s weigh-in.
In fact, he was 20 minutes early to the press conference and 30 minutes
early for today’s weigh-in. In particular, it is the events surrounding
the weigh-in that has disturbed Seminole Warriors Boxing and Team
Pantera the most, to this point.
This afternoon, Miranda weighed in at 159-1/4 lbs. on a so-called
calibrated scale, provided by Sauerland, just prior to making his way to
the Official Weigh-In at the Mercure Hotel located in Wetzlar.
When Team Pantera arrived at the weigh-in (30 minutes prior the
scheduled 4 o’clock) they inquired as to where the official scale was
located and were advised that it was in the Champions room. “He wanted
to weigh himself in private.” Although this is extremely unusual Team
Pantera trusted that the scale would not be tampered with. Much to
their dismay, upon the scales arrival Miranda stepped up and weighed in
at 160-1/4 lbs.
“I am extremely surprised and disappointed at the inaccurate reporting
of the events from the Champions camp,” says Leon Margules, Executive
Director of Seminole Warriors Boxing. “This fight and these fighters
deserve better than that.”
Miranda returned back at the scale within 20 minutes to weigh in at a
chiseled 159.8 lbs. |
