I seen a bodybuilder get thrown off the weights machine just like that by a power lifter. I think Joshua's in serious trouble if he stands there and trades with this gluttonous brute. Please don't lose those shiny belts before Deontay gets to you Anthony. I really wanna see the devastating bronze bomber stagger you across the ring like Clubber did to Balboa in Rocky 3. lol.
I like Miller but think of it like this. Would Wlad in his prime bully and batter Miller? Stopping him late or winning a wide decision? The answer is probably yes. So why couldn't Joshua, a guy who is flirting with being on that level and who has probably learnt a lot since the Wlad, and Povetkin fights, do the same? Don't get me wrong; I think it will be an interesting contest if Miller can cover up well and pressure AJ - maybe even some nail biting moments for Josh. But I just don't see a guy, even a tank like Miller, an above average pressure fighter, being able to simply 'pressure' Joshua relentlessly for multiple rounds without taking significant damage. Remember, Povetkin wasn't fazed by too many guys in his career but was obliterated by AJ when the shot finally landed. There is some serious power and a modicum of skills to execute and effectuate said serious power shots coming from the body builder. AJ TKO 9 is my prediction. The right crosses and left uppercuts will eventually take their toll despite the 'pressure'. Cheers
Haven't settled on it yet, your scenario is possible, although if Miller can tighten his defense and he can, and survive past the first 4 or 5 rounds, AJ's in trouble.
As I've stated previously, I think Joshua will win a decision and maybe a controversial one. These US debuts never quite go to plan. Remember Ricky Hatton/Luis Collazo? Baby Miller is a huge man with a massive head and I just can't see him going down easily. Has he ever been down, never mind stopped in his kickboxing or boxing career? I just think he will be very difficult to look good against. He would be more suited for someone like Fury. Styles make fights and I just don't see this as a good style matchup for Joshua.
If Joshua gasses like he did vs Wlad he will be KO'd as he was barely standing up on his own in that fight. Interesting fight!
On his US debut, AJ will be looking to impress big time. I can see him hunting Miller from the very first bell and taking him out inside 4-5 rds.
Miller was KOed by Wilder in sparring and Fury claims he dropped him 7 times. Looks like AJ should beat him.
AJ KO 4 and I'm being generous . I like Miller he has good punch output for his size and a big heart . He hooks very well with both hands and has a so-so engine on him (yet to be tested in truth) . His problems are the following: Poor ring movement and ring knowledge , he cannot cut boxers off . Single paced , slow yet effective but has never pushed any gears , I think he is a single geared boxer . His dimensions of boxing leave a lot to be desired , I never seen him reach in and dig something up in a fight . His attitude to boxing , I know a lot of it is simply trash talking but seriously if he thinks he can breeze through this he is gonna be devastated. Honestly I like the fight , Miller will have a lot to prove and he does earn a shot , he has argued a screamed for this fight so now it's time for him to prove himself . AJ cannot underestimate an opponent and make the same mistake Wilder does . Composure will be the key to the fight but in reality I think AJ brings to much speed and power in too much variety and to this is his chance to show the colonies and the number 2 and 3 (Wilder , Fury) why he is better than them both and why he is and remains the unified champion .
I'm no Joshua fan boy by any stretch of the imagination but I cant see fatty bum bum bothering him at all.
How is miller gonna trouble AJ? Why? Because he beat up Washington? The difference between Washington and AJ is like 1 and 0 in binary.
