Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Jarrell Arlington Miller

That's why fighting on a DAZN card in NYC where Hearn has more experience and presumably sway is preferable to the path Fury had to take.

 

Joshua may not be the most technical heavy weight out there but he hits hard. Miller is stationary and easy to hit. This will be an easy Joshua KO

 

I like this heavyweight match-up.

People underestimate Miller. He's not the fastest or most technically skilled, but he's VERY strong and durable. Although I consider Joshua the favourite to win, an upset is a real possibility. Miller may be able to take Joshua's best punches, and gradually break him down and eventually stop him.

 

As soon as those scorecards from the Staples centre were revealed that $50m stopped being a stick to beat AJ with and looked like a straight fee for Joshua's belts. At which point turning it down looks less like cowardice and more like common sense.

 

AJ comes with more pulling power than Fury, not to mention AJ is supposed to KO Wilder according to most his fans in which case the scorecards won’t come into play.

 

Luis Ortiz wouldve retired Miller. Finished what CroCop started. Aj is just trying to **** the fans off at this point.

 

AJ. Only question is whether it will be via pts or (T)KO.

The only way I can see Miller posing any sort of threat is if he can shove AJ around due to his ~70 lb weight advantage.

Which makes me wonder if AJ will keep his distance and go for pts victory like he did against Parker.

I can see Miller getting (T)KOd though. I kind of doubt Miller could get knocked out cold -- he looks durable. But if he simply gets knocked down a few times, he probably literally won't be able to get up.

Also, I see some people deriding AJ&Hearn for potentially choosing Miller next. I think it's a perfectly good fight considering Wilder and Fury are tied up and Ortiz recently lost. I'd personally prefer to see AJ fight Pulev or Ortiz though.

 

Indeed, or Wilder for that matter. Hence he doesn't have to risk his titles getting the Adalaide Byrd treatment.

 

Miller is a bit too crude to beat AJ but he is pretty strong physically, he can probably last entire 12 rounds.

AJ is also more risk aware now.

AJ on points.

 

After being booed after the Whyte fight this matchup with Miller is gonna leave a lasting bad taste in the the mouth of british fans. Having to pay PPV to watch an outmatched Miller early Sunday morning nah not happening, not even for Joshua. In america you guys have DAZN but in the UK, Joshua against anyone is PPV unfortunately.

 

Precisely if Wilder loses on the card in the uk then that’s part of the game when you travel.

 

Joshua bounces punches off a game Miller who will have his moments - I have no doubt.

AJ UD.

 

Miller gets distracted by a crowd member's overpriced Wembley hot dog and Joshua catches him in the third round, later claiming he would have won if his appetite was satiated

 

KO win for AJ. It's easy to relentlessly take punishment and come forward when you're fighting guys like Adamek. That tactic isn't going to work with Joshua. Miller is far too stationary, slow and predictable. Easy nights work for AJ.

 

Finkel and co have shown they can load the deck in Deontay's favour. They tried a number of dirty tricks against Fury and then screwed him on the cards. Plenty of other fights have been well behind on the judges scorecards but nobody else's before getting KO'd.

Who is going to try and load the cards for Miller? Who is he promoted by? No-one and Hearn are the answers you're looking for. The only chance Miller has got is by being the best man on the night. Wilder has more than that.
