User blog comment:Yuri Rozu/Laxus Dreyar vs Mirajane Strauss/@comment-24102956-20160120103337

That is the worst match-up ever.... Mira has been lagging behind the rest of the S-Class Mages (Laxus, Erza and Gildarts) as a barmaid for quite a long while since Lissanna's "death" so she was a little rusty when using Satan Soul once more thanks to Freed indirectly causing her to regain her will to use her Magic again.

Mira was only able to beat him because of her drive to not let another of her siblings die again and yet she couldn't beat Azuma because of Lisanna taken hostage. As Carrot says, Laxus can almost solo anything and wins since he's unarguably the strongest Mage of the guild aside from Gildarts. He's a heavy fighter and a tanker too.
