    Genuinely can't understand why they'd make this his homecoming fight

    Pulev clearly not up for travelling to defend that belt I'd guess

    He ain't daft, he knows in England he'd be doomed

    I genuinely think miller wins this, wardley is massively overrated and now yeah miller is fat but he’s fought at a way higher level and wardley is extremely hittable and can’t fight on the back foot.

    Pretty much how I see it, happy to be proven wrong though.

    I know voted Wardley TKO, but that is based on Miller getting worse since we last saw him. In theory Miller should win this, he has fought more proven competition at a higher level. But Wardley could easily land something.

    Spot on analysis.

    As for the fight, think Miller might be a banana peel for Wardley.

    Dubois whacked on Miller forever and Miller ate those punches, being fat as you noted, probably helped. Wardly also gets hit and isn't known for his defensive prowess.

    Not a bad fight. Shame it's taken so long for Wardley to get a fight organised and it's against a multiple drug cheat. But it's a step up and should be a good scrap. I think Wardley edges it.

    A good durable opponent for Wardley to test himself against. I think he comes through this with another knock out win.

    Miller isn’t active enough offensively and Wardley has the power to put him on the back foot.

    when he was roided up he used to throw and land a **** load, but even in the Ruiz fight he threw and landed more punches than wardley did in first Clarke fight. So some food for thought there my friend.

    The problem here is were rating Miller on his last performance against an inactive as eff Ruiz who smashed his hand to bits before the halfway mark. I said a few years ago, keep an eye on Wardley as he's a natural fighter and they are rare, especially at HW as that style of fighting is very risky but, Miller is even more hittable than Wardley and Wardley only needs the slightest whiff of an opening for him to plant his feet and swing for the fences.

    I'm going for Wardkey mid-late stoppage, although if Miller comes in shape, could see the opposite result in an absolute barn stormer!

    I know Wardley is pretty unproven but I think he is an unbelievable puncher and is super tough. He is technically pretty basic but he just hits that hard. Basically all his wins have been KO's and I just look at the damage caused on Clarke's face from Wardley's punch and in the first fight Clarke was absolutely battered he pretty much collapsed at the end of the fight and was terrified of Wardley's power the whole time as soon as he got hit.

    Miller is tough - but I think he stylistically will be a bit of a punching bag for Wardley as Miller has no defence and plods forward and he will take too much punishment as a result. If Miller can take Wardley's shots early then he could suffocate Wardley in the long-run with his pressure and swarming.

    I just think Wardley's power will make the difference here. Wardley 5/6th round TKO.

    A 30 pounds slimmer Miller dominated Fat Andy and got a draw in his backyard, which tells you all you need to know about who really won that. Had he not shown up at 333 against Dubois, and gassed badly in the last 4 rounds, he'd have probably stopped Daniel. If Big Baby shows up to this fight at 300 or below, Wardley is ****ed.

    For a guy that just rolled out of bed one day around 20 years old and decided "i wanna be a boxer", wardley has done really well for himself , Miller will be an interesting challenge
