I'm a fan of both fighters, but I really seriously doubt that Kessler is scared of Miranda. Kessler would out-box Pantera all day long, quite possibly stopping him IMO. Kessler would allow Miranda to come forward and bomb him with counters all night long, I don't even think it would be competitive, but maybe I'm over-rating Kessler.
I'd much rather see Miranda take on Taylor, who I think he has a better chance of beating.
