Bute doesn't have the best defense and Miranda has monster power

I think Bute has a pretty good defense, he's quite slick, his movement is good and it's mainly the Andrade fight that makes people think that he's not that hard to hit. Andrade was willing to take two in order to land one, but the majority of boxers don't fight that way.
Miranda is a gatekeeper who hasn't had a good win for several years.
I would be very surprised if EM was able to win this. He hits hard, but Bute has enough power to get him out of there, and Bute is going to be the one landing most of the punches IMO.
I expect Bute to box conservatively for the first few rounds. Miranda will realise that he's being outboxed and become more aggressive, at which point Bute will start to sit down on his punches and knock him out.Comment

I lost ZERO money on Miranda. I can be smug about it because I said from day one he wasn't all that... let's face it, if the (sixth?) round against Howard Eastman had lasted thirty seconds longer Howard would have KO'd him and we would never be talking about him.
I was once called a "bias Euro" for suggesting the Abrahammer would beat him in a rematch (because if Miranda couldn't KO an Abrahammer with his jaw hanging off and could get rocked by him, then what would happen when he fought a fit one?)
It made me laugh, because I'm not Armenian.Comment

and the new IBF supermiddleweight champoin of the world is : EDISON PANTERA MIRANDA.
Im rootin for the heavyhanded puncher. Librado showed how it could work and Miranda will finish it.Comment

The Miranda that fought Ward has a 15%-25% chance as you guys said, if that. I hoping Goossen has been able to tweak him and we see a some what redefined Miranda.
If he comes out like the Abraham I Miranda with new tools, I give him closer to a 50% chance. Bute is a great fighter and it will be a tough win. But if the changes are made and Miranda is of the old, then I think he will be able to connect and hurt Bute. It will all come down to how Bute reacts.Comment

Bute has faced big punchers in Bika & Berrio and come through without any problems. I don't think his defense is as leaky as you claim either.
I bet this fight will be a mismatch with Bute stopping him by the mid-rounds. I can't see Miranda being able to effectively pressure Bute.
