Eh Mira + Elfman reminds me of Olivier Mira + Alex Louis Armstrong :D.

Olivier was/has been/idk considered the better fighter, but it's mostly due to her agility and swordmanship. However, when fighting Sloth, in the end, Alex endured his attacks better than her, because of muscle mass/strength (and then there's his alchemy but Sloth regenerated anyways; you get my point), and also defended her from fatal blows. So I kinda see it the same way here, just another case where muscle mass defeated an enemy better than battle skills.
