    I highly doubt Miller gets up and lands that hook Ruiz did. It's more likely he gets absolutely battered and stopped.

    Miller was in AJ's head before the fight, AJ looked like a fish out of water and was nervous in his U.S. debut. Sparring with *Dawejko* hadn't been going well and Miller was coming to win (walk AJ down relentlessly and stop him). AJ had never really been backed up or muscled around at that point and his weight was too high to move or have a gas tank at any kind of pace, while Miller had the PED-enhanced engine to consistently impose 315+ lbs on AJ and throw a record number of punches over 12 rounds. AJ would have looked ok for a few rounds but before long he would have been blowing out of his a*se, overwhelmed by the pressure and drowned in the late rounds.

    I'm happy things worked out the way they did though.

    He was knocked out in the build up to the Klitschko fight too by Dubois.

    I wasn't aware of that happening at that time
    I seem to recall hearing that Price knocked him down in sparing, but not sure if that was when in training for a specific fight or not

    Price knocked him out when he was ABA champion before the Olympics both have confirmed this. Dubois knocked him out before the Klitschko fight Dubois confirmed this in boxing news and I have heard from people that know a few of the GB lads that they witnessed it. The rumour was AJ was KO'd before the Ruiz fight by that Daweko but I'd say that's unconfirmed.

    I was told he had been KOd before the Ruiz bout and was still suffering effects
    I wasn't told that it was Daweko though

    Always wondered this.

    I don’t think Miller could do what Ruiz did but probably would have made it a decent fight.

    He trained for Big Baby and probably thought he would get rid of Ruiz quick and easy. Add to that it was his first fight in the USA.

    No wonder he is not the same fighter anymore

    Miller had completely raided the pharnacy Evan Fields style. He might actually have beaten that version of Joshua, who clearly underperformed that night.

    Lucky for everyone that actually loves boxing, we didn't have to live trough that farce.
