    I'd enjoy seeing Ortiz-Miller. It's a fairly competitive matchup, if Ortiz hasn't faded even more than he was in the Wilder fight. Miller is easier to hit than Wilder, and Ortiz probably still has decent power, it's often the last thing a boxer loses as he ages. Neither has good stamina, although Miller's stamina is obviously better than the old man's.

    Kownacki vs. Joshua is an ugly mismatch. Whyte-Pulev is a good, competitive matchup.

    Miller needs work on defense. He also needs to lose about 30 pounds. His arms are rather short for a man 6'4" tall. He's not going to out jab or out slug the best in the division.

    Having said that I'd give him a shot vs Wilder. He has fast hands, can work the body well, and uppercut on the inside. Solid power, nothing serious, likely his biggest drawback as that could erase problems on defense.

    Joshua needs to stop ducking Povetkin. If Wilder is not next, he should fight his mandatory for 2 organizations...

    "I do not think this [Wilder-Joshua fight] is necessary," Jennings said in an interview with boxingtalk.com. - If this happens, they will probably return to the original pattern of organizing the fighting. The only thing that's bad is that they will choose their rivals. How did Klitschko do it. They hold on to their belts and fight with those they want. They miss mandatory defense, then when they are supposedly ready for mandatory defense, the mandatory challenger has already appointed a fight, so they choose another opponent. "

    "It should be that boxers who are in the position of the challenger, got a fight for the title for three months - continued Jennings. - And no postponement of mandatory defenses, when the boxer is already in the first place, he should not be obliged to fight with five other opponents to get a fight for the title. I'll even step aside for Dillian White. He defeated Lucas Browne, and this was to make him a mandatory challenger, but now he needs to meet with Ortiz. In my opinion, this does not make sense, and this is wrong. "

    In the summer, Adam Kownacki (17-0, 14 KO) is on the top of the world rankings of heavy weight in the summer. The exact plans of the Pole are not yet known, but "Baby Face" does not exclude even that he will soon fight for the world championship.

    Do you already know your next plans?
    Adam Kowacki: You never know in this business, but I hope that I will fight in the summer. Next week I am pushing up the pace and going into harder preparations.

    Fight comparable sports to meet with Kiladze or jump up level yet?
    Certainly heavier, because I think I will get someone from the top ten. I want to be a world champion and I strive for that. To be the best you have to overcome the best.

    Did you hear what Wilder was talking about?
    As you can see, it is not I who exchanges these boxers and say with words that I want to fight with them here and now. If the world champion Deontay Wilder says that in substitution for another world champion he wants to see Adam Kownacki in the lines, it means that I am in the narrow forefront of heavyweight. Anyway, I think that I am the best heavyweight boxer, but not everyone knows it yet ...

    Strong words. So I understand that you are ready to fight these two "best"?
    If I pick up a phone with a good offer to fight Wilder or Joshua, I will accept it. It is known that I would prefer to meet them for two or three fights, because I need some more experience, but if such an offer comes I will accept it and show that I am better.

    For now, however, the plans are definitely a bit different and somebody else is trying to fight on holidays?
    Arreola has long been spoken of. I would like to face him because he is a recognizable name in the States and a very good boxer. It would be a good fight for both fans and myself. A good foundation for the start with the best ones. I do not want to announce anything, because boxing is one big business and really does not really depend on boxers.

    Thoughts about Tomasz Adamek from his trainer Gus Curren and KO victim Joey Abell:

    Curren: "I do not throw words into the wind. I have no doubt that Tomasz has a chance to become a world champion. I said this after our first preparatory period, when he learned a lot and did the things I asked for. The fight against Haumono was great, with Kassi he presented great rounds, and the opponent was very difficult. However, knocking out Joey Abell, who has brought down many rivals to the boards, is a sign that Tomasz can become a heavyweight champion. I have no doubt."

    Abell: "He's still great at what he does. I have never fought anyone with such skills in my life and I've fought some of the best in the world. Adamek was also one of the best in the world, today is not far from that time. 41 years, what does it matter? I wonder what the future will be like for him."

    I thought there is a good chance of this happening.

    Kabayel should win this. He is very young, has a lot of room to improve imo.

    Dimitrenko should retire if he looses this one. Or maybe is he wins it, he's old enough and not dangerous enough for Wilder or Joshua, and they will fight him.

    Bakhodir Jalolov will give his pro debut on Saturday against Jonathan Rice. Not exactly a tomato can of a first opponent, knocked out Mario Heredia twice and only lost via decision vs. Con Sheehan, Stephan Shaw and Tony Yoka.

    Jalolov could be a potential player in the HW division. Tall, rangy, in superb shape, southpaw, good amateur pedigree. A lot to like.
