@Anon, so because you are a Laxus fan boy this is a stupid match? By everything shown in the manga, these two opponents would be fairly equal in overall combat power. Yes, Gildarts vs Minerva would be a horrible matchup because Gildarts is clearly stronger. However, Minerva vs Midnight would be equally horrible as Minerva is far stronger than Midnight. Just because you think the match is one sided does not mean it is. If people can look at the match and some say one side will win, and others say the other will win, then its a good matchup. Again, you are just a Laxus fanboy so we could pit Laxus up against anyoen really and you would say it was a one sided match and that Laxus would win. Also, its brains over BRAWN. Not brawls, as in brains over muscle. So just to reiterate, this is a perfectly fine matchup but just because you dream of Laxus at night, does not mean its not.
