Easy. Taylor has holes. Miranda has HOLES. Miranda is almost on par with Mayorga in the amateurish department. It's his power that has people talking, not his defense, coordination, balance, etc. You negate his power, what else does he have?

Taylor has power, but he also has some mobility and a ton of heart. If it weren't for his heart Hopkins may have KO'd him. What happens if Hopkins gets Miranda in that kind of danger?
