Miranda has proven to be a worthy contender only losing to top fighters such as Arthur Abraham(twice), Kelly Pavlik and Andre Ward. Thats 3 champions he has lost too. He also is the only man to defeat current Super Six competitor Allan Green. This will also be a real test for Lucian Bute, this is the first time he'll step into the ring with a puncher like Miranda. If Bute puts on a boxing clinic and avoids Miranda's power he will come out victorious. I see Bute winning this bout by decision. I think that this should be an excellent title fight come Saturday.

]]> Comment on CFL Reviewing Bruce's Touchdown Celebration by ehalvorsen1 http://canadian-sportsfans.com/2009/07/02/cfl-reviewing-bruces-touchdown-celebration/comment-page-1/#comment-9 ehalvorsen1 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:54:32 +0000 http://canadian-sportsfans.com/?p=46#comment-9 The fact this made ESPN tells you how big a deal it is, and it's funny how it takes a gaffe like this to get the CFL some press outside of Canada. One reason why I prefer the CFL over the NFL is they are much more lenient about celebrations, and the players can actually go out and have fun, but this celebration was a bit over the top. At least when you watch the Blue Bombers or Stampeders you know you're gonna get an entertaining TD celebration, and I am sure everyone watching gets a laugh from it. But this was downright insulting to many people, and in all honesty, I expect no less than insulting from Arland Bruce. I still remember in Winnipeg when he got jumped outside a downtown bar by a bunch of guys he was talking smack to inside, trying to be the cool guy, pro football player. That is just the kind of person he is, very self-centred, and seems to like to be a magnet for controversy. Kudos to the CFL for taking a stand on this one, and showing the players there is a line that shouldn't be crossed, because I don't want to see one guy ruin it for the rest of the league, and then we're looking at rules like the NFL has, and the game loses a lot of it's fun factor for the players and fans.

I don't think anyone has ever mailed in a contract year like Kovalev did, and he still gets 4.5M? That money could definitely been better spent elsewhere.

Dustin Penner is way overpaid, and is just gonna eat up cap space. I see the Gomez trade as a move by the Rangers to acquire some young guys to trade and clear cap space to make this deal. They really want Heatley, and Sather is good at getting what he wants. I can see Heatley in New York as early as today.

He was outworked last season by Fred Reid, and obviously didn't have a great future here. I am sure he'll land with another team looking for a RB. But in hindsight, the Smith for Roberts deal has turned out to be one where both teams were losers, and it's a shame, both Smith and Roberts were great backs, but neither made the adjustment to a new team.

The East is a bit more up in the air, but Calgary seems like the team to beat out West.
