Miller is back to being the #1 WBA contender after Itauma's loss!

Jarrell Miller becomes the #1 WBA contender after Itauma's loss, and he is hungry, pun intended, for Murat Gassiev.

I know people will be screaming, "We don't want this fight, we want unifications!" And don't get me wrong, I want unifications too, but I also want to see good and fun fights.

I think the majority of people agree that Gassiev is the weakest champion of the four. Even if you're a Gassiev fan, hopefully we can agree that he doesn't have a win that really holds much weight in the current heavyweight division. So I think the Miller fight could actually help the championship picture. It gives Gassiev a chance to get a statement win and prove to the doubters that he can handle a challenging matchup. Or we get a better champion in Miller, who is a 300-pound man throwing 1,000 punches in a fight.

Now, don't get me wrong: win or lose, either man would probably still be rated as the weakest champion. But if we get this title fight first, we'll understand the stakes a lot better when a unification eventually happens. The boxing audience could say, "Oh, that's the guy who knocked out Miller," or, "That's the guy who became the #1 WBC contender and beat Gassiev."

What would a Gassiev win do for any of the other champions? They get another belt, sure, but there's not much context behind the win. That's why I actually want to see this fight happen. Just my two cents on the fight and why I want to see it.

I also want to share funny Instagram posts from Miller before I end my post:

Good way of summarizing my post. This is a fight I want to see happen; a Russia vs USA grudge match.
