Joshua a -600 favorite, meaning you’d have to bet $600 on a Joshua victory to win $100.

    I think its justified, and I wouldnt bet on Miller if it was 20 to 1.

    I was really hoping though, that Millers apparent hype with the fans and the way Ive seen people talking about him, was going to make the odds a bit closer than that.

    Wow! Povetkin is far better than Miller, would Miller be the bookies favourite v Pov then?

    I would guess Joshua's stock has fallen.

    Povetkin actually did quite well against him after all. Or Povetkin exposed some flaws at least.

    Probably add it on to an accumulator with Crawford, Canelo and Spence.

    Yeah that fight surprised a few people, Povetkin had more success than expected and so it's not a surprise that the odds for this fight are a bit closer.

    In the history of boxing, slow-footed pressure fighters with poor defense and average punching power do not do too well against punchers.

    Even though the odds aren't ideal, I would pound -600 ML on Joshua.

    I can see 1/7 with some unreliable UK books, generally 1/8 - 1/6 I think is very good as I can’t see miller winning any which way.

    But atleast Douglas has a pop behind those punches and was taller and weighs more than Tyson who didn't train at all to prepare for Douglas. The only thing Jarrell Miller has over Joshua is he weighs alot more than Joshua. <<<<Any thing else? I guess he throws more punches than Joshua. <<<Besides those 2? Miller doesn't have a pop behind those punches and he's shorter. This is an easy bet for Joshua to win. I expect a mid or late stoppage.

    Bro Miller even though is a volume puncher but he doesn't have the same pop as whyte and wlad does. The best Miller can do is lean on Joshua with his 300 pounds body backing Joshua up by throwing many punches. <<<The question is will Joshua be bother by Miller punches? I doubt it. This should be easy work for Joshua. I bet my money fury hits harder than Miller.

    I think the odds are decent, so no value in any bet.

    If Miller is still there by mid rounds he becomes an evens wager in my view, reason being he is going to get to Joshua at some point and either floor him or have him robot dancing

    I agree wit what you`re saying up to a certain point other get to him, he`s a wear you down sort of fighter and AJ has bad stamina but Miller doesn`t have the power of Povetkin, Whyte or Wklad, he`ss not going to hurt AJ or make his legs go funny, not with one shot, AJ is far more powerful than Miller.
