    Worst matchup for Gassiev - Miller is about 100 pounds heavier and will wear him down by leaning on him. And while Gassiev has at least a punchers' chance against nearly everybody else, Miller has a chin.

    Good fight. Will be interesting to see Gassiev on the back foot as the counter puncher.

    Lot of people picking Miller. To each their own, but I think this is going to be a classic case of a puncher annihilating a pressure fighter. Great for Miller that he is bigger--that big, soft belly is going to be a hell of a target for the best hook to the body in the division.

    Let's just make sure the drug testing is on point.

    This, and even a fat, old Miller still has a gas tank big enough to disrupt Gassiev“s game. Gassiev does not do well against volume.

    However, Gassiev is really good at throwing compact shots, especially on the inside. Every time Miller disengages, he will have to be on defense, because otherwise Gassiev will catch him clean.

    This will be a really good test to see just where exactly does Gassiev stand in the division. He has spoken recently about going for undisputed, thus he would have to beat Miller with ease.

    It's not the worst matchup for Gassiev: Miller is very hittable and doesn't carry much stopping power. If Gassiev's power is as good as advertised, Miller could get KO'd. Outside of Dubois, Gassiev should be the most dangerous puncher Miller has faced, and Miller is 38 now not 35. If it's in Russia then that further benefits Gassiev.
