Hard fight to call, Wheres the idk option.

The old Andrade definitely loses a decision against Miranda but the new Andrade looks quite impressive to me atleast.

I don't know, because Miranda hits like a heavyweight... but Pavlik took his shots clean, and I'd say Andrades got a better chin than Pavlik, so I don't know.

I think if the Andrade that fought Stieglitz showed up, against the Miranda that fought Abraham showed up, we'd have ourself a ****ING war.

I don't know who I'd pick, I think Andrade by UD or SD.

Andrade.... after Miranda finds out he cant hurt him he'll get bewildred or tired.

I could see it going pretty much the same way Pantera's fight with Pavlik went. Andrade would weather the early storm and keep coming as we all expect him to. He would eventually wear Pantera down and stop him late. But I think Andrade is gonna be fighting for the IBF title first, unless you mean after that fight, which should be late summer.

Unless Miranda stops Andrade early, I think Andrade would stop Miranda late or take a decision.

I think Miranda is all power, take it away he will be hard pressed to win fights against tough guys like Andrade.

tbh this is a new wieght for miranda that he feels very comfitable at plus he has more power then ever because he hasnt got to drain himself at this wieght.
But if miranda hasnt improved his boxing skills then i dont see him winning easy but i know mirandas power will bother this guy.
The only reason it didnt bother pavlik was due to miranda being drained and lack of technique i swear miranda would punch like a ***in truck if he jus improved on his boxing skills and techique and i hope he does because it would be a waste of power.
I just hope miranda doesnt start blowing up because he looked a lil to heavy against banks but if he does baloon on fight night wil he tire? who knows.
War! miranda !

I'm shocked at how many people have Librado winning this. My take on this fight, if it happened, is pretty simple:

Andrade looks like a beast not because of his speed, or power- or even general boxing ability- it's because he can take a punch. Now Miranda is rough, and sometimes looks sluggish/slow- but when Andrade has already shown such a poor defense against limited opposition; Miranda is a top 10 player, guys. He has the power. If you put him in there with someone who can't hurt him- and I don't think Andrade can- and allow him to hit you all night...he's going to knock you out sooner or later. Librado's defense is not up to par...sooner or later he's going to sleep. I know Kessler hits hard- but I believe that with sheer power alone Miranda is a beast- and Andrade was dropped by Mack...he is human, gentlemen. Miranda by KO.

Andradde is too easy to hit, He has an IRON chin but edison mirandas power will be way too much, No man on the planet can eat his shots, i mean miranda can be beaten, but not against a guy like katsidis lol, He hits TOO HARD
