Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua vs. Jarrell Arlington Miller

I'm 100 percent certain that Miller will be a much harder test for Joshua than Wilder.

300 pounds with a great workrate against a guy with accumulative power and a suspect gastank...

 

If it happens I expect it to look like the breazeale fight.

Miller soaks up a lot of punishment, but the gulf in boxing ability is evident and he is eventually stopped on accumulation after being down a couple of times.

Miller vs Breazeale would be a WAR.

 

For what it’s worth, I used to rate Miller higher than most people did, until that display against Wach. Wach is a good win IMO, but that arm punching that Miller was doing against an injured Wach was atrocious. Made me realise that he wasn’t gonna cut it at the top level. The fact that he could essentially tee off on Wach at Will, but was just landing pitty pat arm punches was pretty shocking I thought.

 

Wach seems to make every fight he's in terrible. Having said that there were too many arm punches in Miller's fight with Duhaupas also, it's certainly a valid criticism.

 

This would be a better point if the Takam stoppage didn't happen how it did, the ref in the Parker fight didn't exist and if AJ wasn't somehow cruising on points against Povetkin according to the judges.

 

He ought to stop Miller really. I think Miller would probably make it entertaining whilst it lasts though. He does work the body very well but it's a big leap in class from what he's been fighting

 

Should ne tough, action packed fight, before AJ wears Miller off and KOs him. Round 10 stoppage for AJ!

 

Cro cop boxed Miller up
Let that sink in

 

Miller is tailor made for Joshua.

 

Great point. If judges can find 5 rounds for Wilder Vs Fury that's more corrupt than any British judge

 

Miller is a phyiscally strong, durable and high pressure fighter but he is tailor made perfect opponent for AJ to look impressive onhis American debut. Slow puncher, slow footed, easy to hit with no head movement. I can't see Miller going 12 rounds with AJ.

 

It can only go one way. Miller's technique is worse than even Conor McGregor's and he's such an easy target to hit. I've never seen someone as sloppy as him on the pads. Yes okay, padwork can be deceiving but when it's as awful as that it shows Miller can only go so far. Miller doesn't have devastating power and relies on lucky shots and cherrypicked opponents to look barely average. Similar to Wilder's record, but without any height, reach, power or speed to go with it.

Can he put Joshua down? Not in a million years. So in that case, how on earth does he win? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Miller has no method of winning. He is outdone in every single aspect. AJ will decimate Miller in a one-sided beating.

 

Reaching a bit here,
Takam had been down twice, was cut over both eyes, lost every round, hadn’t landed a meaningful punch in the fight and was taking more shots to the head while not firing back. I can’t see any reason to criticise the referee for stopping the fight, quite frankly Takams corner should have done it before then.

The referee in the Parker fight was horrible for everyone, spectators, promoter and both boxers but when Joshua & Parker we’re allowed to fight on the inside Joshua was clearly getting the better of it. To suggest that the ref was in favour of Joshua is blinkered agenda driven tosh!

As for Povetkin, Joshua was up by 2 rounds after the 6 they had completed, that’s hardly cooking the cards and dismissive of Povetkin early work. Certainly a million miles from any accusations of favouritism, that is if you’ve actually watched and scored the fight with an open mind.

Even in the vivid imaginings of a Wilder fanboy none of these Joshua fights can be put in the same category as the cheating during the Ortiz fight or the daylight robbery that Fury was the victim of.

AJ by stoppage..

Millers style or coming forward at all costs won't work too well and most likely he will end up taking a combo and rolling around on the canvas. I don't think Miller has tasted real power before so it will be interesting seeing how he adjusts.

I don't think any chin can take a full AJ barrage tbh..
