Richie Miranda

Leans toward Sousa on a real power-difference mechanism, but repeatedly hedges (says he could be wrong, won't lay money on a favorite) and concedes Miranda may be doing more for most of the fight.

A fighter who does many things at a solid level: he can box out of either lead, keeps a steady rhythm of offense coming out, and is comfortable trading rather than purely defending. His real strength is a technical, high-floor grappling game: a good takedown arsenal (built more on technique/chaining than pure athleticism), strong scrambles, active offense from his back, and a varied choke arsenal. Cardio is not expected to be an issue across three rounds despite a recent history of five-round title fights.
