Librado Andrade vs. Edison Miranda

[ИATAS]

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.

I approve this message.

This would be awesome, but I think Miranda lands somthin heavy eventually. Andrade would put up an amazing fight though.

This fight might happen because now that Kessler backed out of the fight with Miranda theirs talks about a Bute vs Miranda fight with the Winner fighting the #1 contender Andrade.

i was thinking the same thing actually when andrade fought miranda and was actually gonna make a thread about it, but i forgot.. i think if miranda can hurt him he wins.. andrade got hit a good bit, and i don't know if he can stand up to miranda's punches, i got pantera

[Cutthroat]

I got Miranda by late KO or TKO, Andrade can take a punch but he hasn't fought a guy with monster power like Edison Miranda. I think a couple of right hands will do the job.

this would be an awesome fight. I dont see anything that could prevent this from happening at the end of this year. Who do you got and why?

ive been thinking of this fight ever since Miranda moved up, great fight I think Miranda might have the power to stop Andrade and Andrade unfortunately only knows how to come forward in one direction. I got Miranda by tko

[MANGLER]

Call it a toss-up. I don't see Miranda winning a decision even though I think either guy could accumulate damage to get the knockout. If I had to pick I'd say Andrade. He can throw a lot of punches without tiring and I don't think Pantera could match his stamina.

andrade is easy to hit but he always comes forward and miranda cant fight going back,andrade's chin is good enough to with stand a couple shots to keep miranda going back

Andrade is far from Kelly Pavlik especially in the boxing abilities column Pavliks fights against Taylor should have displayed that fact. Andrade wont be able to use the stiff jab that Pavlik was able to keep Miranda at bay and Miranda's stamina I think wont be an issue at 168.

[The Hammer]

Something Andrade has in common with Pavlik is that he won't be intimidated by Miranda. He knows his chin will hold up well enough, and he will get to Miranda with an accumulation of hard punches.

Andrade would win by KO or TKO in the 8th to 10th round.
