    Tony Bellew just too big, too strong

    i do not see Miranda going past 3 rounds.

    am I being disrespectful or underestimating Miranda?

    No, you're spot on. I am amazed at people saying this is "winnable" as if it is a tall order. Bellew will batter him. Bellew is 4" taller, has a better reach, is arguably a cruiserweight draining himself to be at LH and is also the better technical boxer.

    He will totally disrupt Miranda's straight forward, plodding attacks with the jab and find it very very easy to land the right hand. Miranda cannot take those shots and stay up. Is there an element of danger? Sure, Miranda can punch, but he wont be swarming all over Bellew, crowding him and making it hard to avoid a wild brawl and he will be so open to the right hand that it will end within a few rounds.

    Mirandas seen better days but his power is ever dangerous. Bellew is on another level technically. It all comes down to his mindset, employing the right strategy and keeping a tight defence. If he does that he can outbox him or put Miranda away inside 6 or 7.

    Intriguing fight. Miranda should prove a stern test for Bellew. Miranda packs power so Bellew will have to fight methodically.

    Bellew by decision.

    haha it is funny seeing some of your posts. Bellew will KO Miranda within 2-4 rounds? Are you kidding me? Miranda will weigh as much if not more than Bellew in the ring. The height difference means nothing.

    This will come down to how good Bellew really is. If he is truely a top 10 LHW than he may beat Miranda on points, especially in his backyard. Bellew's chin WILL be tested during this fight. I can promise you that.

    If this was the younger fresher Miranda then yes this fight would be an exciting prospect. Right now though it is very good match making my Hearn. Miranda has always been exciting but crude in coming forward so Bellew's fight against McIntosh will also serve as a good tune-up
