Come on guys, Miranda looked washed up in his last fight. Ward's handlers were looking for Pantera for some time now as they feel Andre has the style to make Miranda look like a fool, and the timing of the fight is perfect. Miranda is nowhere near to his form pre-Abraham. With that said, Miranda has some skills and boxing abilities, and if he puts his conditioning and game together as a top 168-er should, he can give Team Ward unexpected troubles. And you know what? I'll probably support Miranda, I always liked the guy's fights.
I really don't know Ward at all. I just hope Pantera has been working on his D. P2K says he is staying in the gym between bouts now so hopefully he will be peak physically.
