    I dont want to say i'm overly impressed but I do like the amount of leverage he gets on his body shots.

    pretty slow as he comes in but he gets there--partly because he can walk forward and switch his feet and still get torque no matter which position they are in. He isn't always in front of the opponent to land those shots which I like. Think the footwork thing is something he brings from his kickboxing background, and it helps him get the leverage I mentioned. And it offers a of timing an opponent has to watch out for with that kind of small maneuver

    not trying to overstate but at the same time the standard at HW is lower...so he might get further that youd think with just that. anyway just my quick assessment of what I think his best attribute is.

        Been telling people for a minute. Miller is the real deal. He is big, but he doesnt waste movement. Watch his footwork. Watch his punching. He stays fresh (at least for a big man) because he's extremely economical with the way he applies his pressure. He's going to be a handful for anyone. Wilder won't be able to keep him off, I would take him to beat Wilder at this point, full stop.

          He's a 300-lb big man who knows how to throw combinations and body shots.

          That's a good addition to the heavyweight scene. He's flawed but so what? Joseph Parker is too and he's one of the top fighters in the division.

            I agree that he is still a work in progress. He can definitely use some more experience and seasoning. Also, a new trainer won't hurt either. He needs to learn the proper technique of turning his punches over with power. He has the tendency of pushing his punches a bit too much.

              Wilder KO's him. Styles make fights. He's all wrong for a fighter like Wilder, not in a beneficial way.

                Very bold prediction. I really don't see it happening.

                I thought Washington stunned Miller several times tonight... And as I figured before the fight, wouldn't really have the power to put a dent.

                Wilder on the other hand, would put his lights out if Miller stands in front of him waiting for him to throw with his hands up

                    He needs to lose at least 30 pounds. He can move decently but imagine him at a lower weight.
