Washington will tire first, if it comes to that. Miller is going to lean on him. Lean on him or on the ropes, but Washington won't be able to back him up. Washington wasn't doing all that good vs Wilder, Wilder was waiting to catch him with his hands down. Miller will go right at him, smother him in the clinches, make the ref carry some too. I've seen Miller, and he's agile for such a big guy, Washington might not be able to carry him all night.Comment

I was thinking the same thing. Washington won't be pushing him around so he will have to box & do what you said. He needs to build a lead & hope Miller gasses out. Miller is a volume puncher early but will he maintain that against a guy like Washington? 298 is pretty big even for Miller. Miller does throw to the body & likes to lean on his opponent on the inside so we will see if Washington can keep him from smothering him on the inside. This fight favours Washington the longer it goes but we really don't know if Miller can carry that weight for 10 rounds or not. This is a good fight & we will see if Miller is as good as he thinks he is. I'm sure everyone would have liked to see him come in a little lighter. I was hoping in the 270s somewhere at the most. He is a really wide man so 260-270 would indicate he trained hard. Going into this fight it is hard to take him seriously when he shows up at 298 for the biggest fight of his career. He was impressive vs Kassi but Washington is a step up to the next level. I wish they would show the full fight. I'd rather watch this then the Charlo fight.Jarrell might fuck this up if he doesn't start fast enough. Washington could box his ears off, get an early points lead, and then Jarrell will gas out late.
He can't let that happen. He needs to close the distance from the opening bell and hurt Washington to the body to take the wind out of him. Damage him early and go for the knockout in rounds 4 - 6.Comment

I do agree with you that he is agile for such a big man but 298 is a little heavy in my opinion. He is a volume puncher early but against weaker guys I have seen him slow down by the 3rd round when he was in the 280s. He overwhelms guys with his size but can he keep it up if Washington is able to hold him off with a jab & takes him past 5 rounds? Miller can walk through punches but nobody on his resume had the power to keep him off. Washington does have some pop & a long reach so tonight is either Miller's coming out party or the night he gets exposed for cutting corners in his training.Washington will tire first, if it comes to that.
