Well he gets off his best jabs when his left is carried low or across his body, and he fought to soutpaws with their hand up which makes that punch almost impossible to land. However Miranda has a poor defense, worse footwork, and is slow so JT will find him really easily.
Good points...but Taylor has shown to be very VERY hittable when put in with someone that he can't imtimidate & get the "bigger guy" point out there front & center.
I'd pick Miranda to stop him or batter him senseless.
Miranda is limited...but he's not completely void of talent.
Honestly...I wouldn't mind seeing Miranda as the New Middy Champ of the World & that's saying something because I really didn't like Miranda & I used to be really big up on Taylor. Taylor just hasn't done nearly enough nor has he been convincing since his showings against Wright & Hopkins...all of which weren't convincing worth a fwock.
Taylor would have to fight smart & I mean all 12 rounds to handle Miranda...again...convincingly.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
