Miller opened as a 6/1 underdog but now he's 21/10, so there's a huge discrepancy in how the experts see the fight and how the public see the fight. Dubois should be much faster at 94 lbs lighter, he's got a huge advantage in one punch power and he's slightly taller. I wouldn't be shocked to see him quit again though.

Parker hasn't stopped any of his 11 best opponents (including Cojanu, Fa and cruiser Massey), he lost a UD to Whyte and got A-side decisions over Ruiz and Chisora 1. I think he's being a bit underrated (I've got a 25/1 punt on Parker 1-6) but Wilder has proven to be a much better fighter and I strongly favour him to win by KO.

It's hard for Joshua to lose here given that boxer Wallin's not stopped anyone of note and Joshua's a good enough pointfighter to keep it close enough to get an A-side decision if need be.

Of the others on the card, I like Kabayel for the 8/1 upset. Makhmudov looked terrible against 2022 Takam and Kabayel schooled Chisora back in 2017, who of course went on to bomb a 2018 Takam out.

I see many upsets happening today.

Jarrell Miller is 330 lbs tank, who has very good skills and is durable. The guy had over 50+ kickboxing fights and 20+ pro boxing fights. It will be very hard for Dubois to keep Miller off who is coming forward. I don't think Dubois has the footwork to run 10 rounds, he is not Ali. My prediction is that Miller breaks Dubois down and wins by TKO in round 6.

Joseph Parker vs Deontay Wilder is interesting. If Wilder doesn't KO Parker in the first 3 rounds, then the match will favor Parker who is better skilled. Parker could go to the Wilders body and the boomsquad would be exhausted in the midrounds. Wilder is 38 so its questionable if he can go full pace at this stage. Parker is only 31 so he should be in his prime now and he had good training camp with Andy Lee. I'm taking Parker by KO in round 8.

Anthony Joshua has shown to lost his killer instinct. He avoids trading shots and wants to be on the backfoot. I'm expecting Wallin to outbox Anthony Joshua. Wallin just came from good win over Gassiev, so his confidence is on the roof. I'm expecting Wallin to move well and land so many jabs that he should win on paper if it goes to scorecards. I'm taking Wallin by UD, but robbery can happen too because Joshua is the cashcow.

AJ is going to knock Wallin out and when he does I don’t want to hear any crap about how gun-shy AJ is. Can Miller withstand Dubois power? We shall see about Wilder and Parker.

Makhmudov also took some damage from the ghost of Wach.

I saw Kabayel beat Chisora years ago but didn't know anything else about him. Makhmodev was unknow so I didn't have prediction for this. Good fight though. Kabayel could cause Joshua problems.

First fight wrong. I didn't think Dubois has the legs to move like that. He looked gassed in 4th round but somehow managed to get his stamina up.

Dubois just blasted Miller. That's 2 for the night.
