I agree with everything except Miranda being better than Andrade. He well may be, but I wouldn't say it's a definite, they have entirely different strengths. Andrade is tough as nails and imo actually has an underrated defence(since most people consider it non existant) in that he rolls with punches pretty well and always has something coming back even if he gets hit flush. I still really have no idea how Miranda will hold up against the better SMW's, the only guy he's fought who would be as strong(although stronger) than Andrade was Pavlik, who whipped his ass. I think people exagerate how close that fight was, or how well Miranda did.. He was basically rendered useless by being forced backwards, only able to connect with arm punches that didn't carry close to his signature snap. I really won't be sure how this fight, or many others would go for Miranda until I see some evidence that he is going to be able to mount some effective offence while being forced backwards. I think there are several guys at 168 strong enough to push him back, Andrade being one of them.
