Miranda: "Taylor's a Terrible Fighter"
Collapse

Miranda had a hard time landing on an injured AA who wasn't even throwing... what do you think Taylor will do to him? Taylor would demolish Miranda.. and this is coming from a guy who doesn't even like Taylor and thinks he is 0-2-1 in his 3 major fights (obviously excluding Ouma).

I think it's obvious to everyone that Taylor really, really needs to work on poloshing his skills. He needs to work on his defense, and he also needs to work on his jab, he's not setting up his power shots with the jab and that's why he couldn't knock Ouma out. Ouma could see most of his big hooks coming and easily block them.
He did have success with the uppercut and the straight though, but he didn't work the jab in there enough, and that's how you keep a guy pressing you off and in punching range. A good stiff jab.
Taylor biggest flaw is he's not using that great jab he use to have, the so called great trainer Manny Steward took away his jab for some reason, Steward rather have Taylor clinching then use that great jab he use to have.
Taylor defense can also improve but his defense is not as bad as people make it out to be.
Even with these flaws I see Taylor winning against Miranda easily.

Right now, I think Miranda-Taylor is a pick'em fight. Both are fighters that need some polish, but Miranda's power may be something Taylor is not ready for. I would love to see it rather than Taylor-Mora...
I somewhat agree. Taylor IMO cannot change his style. He will forever look raw , green and often wild. He will win big fights though, we just have to realize that his ability and style will not change...not even with supertrainer Manny Steward. He is willing , strong and has decent power.
