Edison Miranda Vs vs Leobardo Andrade @168

Librado Andrade

 

Same formula as the Pavlik fight. Andrade, who has the proven better chin, keeps Miranda on the back foot and unable to generate power. He beats him down to a stoppage win.

 

Leobardo

 

Miranda TKO

 

Miranda.

What seems to go unnoticed is how well Miranda handled Abraham's power. I think his being knocked out by Pavlik is a testament to how hard Pavlik hits, rather than Miranda being vunerable in any way.

Andrade's lack of defense will cost him against Miranda. Miranda does have firepower in that right hand and he will likely land it at will here. This is not a comparison the likes of Cintron-Margarito because Miranda is tough as nails, unlike Cintron. But like Cintron he lacks some inside game. Besides that I don't think Andrade is as good as Margarito, comparatively.

 

This is like asking which will win, the unstoppable force or the immovable object?

 

Still, I think Librado edges this one.

 

Abraham doesn't have Leabardo's workrate/stamina, constant aggressiveness, or large size. There is almost no way Miranda could win this.

 

Yusuf Mack floored Andrade so he is not invincible.

 

This fight could go either way but since Andrade likes absorb punches and Miranda is a huge puncher, I take Miranda.

 

That's meaningless. He took an insane amount of punishment from Kessler for 12 tounds and didn't even get slightly hurt in the process at any point. The guy clearly has an iron chin and amazing will, one early knockdown in an opening round while he was still warming up doesn't matter.

 

Yea but when Pavlik gets dropped by the middleweight champ, it's a huge deal.

 

:rofl

Maybe because Pavlik was seriously hurt and almost stopped by average punching Taylor and knocked down before that fight multiple times? Maybe because Pavlik never got punished by a guy like Kessler for 12 rounds without getting affected?

Pavlik wouldn't be able to handle 6 rounds of that type of punishment, let alone 12.
