Agree with every word, solid insight. Prob won't touch this either at the current price, but I gotta go with jim here and my reasoning is the same as what you've wrote above.
I especially like how you mentioned his underrated striking. I remember people saying that about prince o persia and how he would beat jim striking and I highly disagreed. He gets more technical with each outing and I don't think he receives enough credit to that development. His grappling when in top control is also underrated and like you said very aggressive on the ground. Melvin is in trouble if he gets under jim... and I won't be the least bit surprised if the durable j. miller hangs on the feet, perhaps even inching out a UD win with a stand up battle that mixes in a few takedowns and/or scrambles. I give a power, size and small athletic advantage to guillard, that's about it. I think miller is near even on the feet and much better in a clinch or on the ground. I also think jim is much tougher and has a better chin. Its close and therefore I prob won't touch it at these odds, but my pick on paper is Mr. J Miller.
And indeed, tibau won that fight (as did heathen stephens - melvin should have two more UD losses on his record imo...)
