Miranda seems so tough to me, that I really doubt he's damaged goods. He seems more the type that would be eager to get back in and prove a point.

Still, I would say Ward has a decent chance, it's just risky. Nothing risked nothing gained, but in this game, maybe more than any other, it's important to manage the risks intelligently.
Yeah Miranda seems a very durable, mentally resilient guy. I doubt he's damaged goods; he did take a bad beating from Pav, but I saw no quit in him, frustration maybe, but no quit for sure. This isn't the time to get in with Miranda. I'm very excited to see "Pantera" back in action!!
