Comments Thread For: Photos: Jarrell Miller, Duhaupas - Heavyweight Brawl Set To Go

[joe strong]

Miller carries 304lbs pretty good if you ask me. Duhaupas looks so small at 6'5 244 compared to big baby. I don't care what anyone says about big baby, he doesn't look like some fat tub of goo like some suggest. He is a mountain of a man. I like both these guys & I hope for a good fight.

Yessuh, yessir!! great synopsis!

he definitely can't afford to eat them shots like he was against Wach - of course he was purposely getting in reckless exchanges with Wach, even goading him on at times - to destroy him psychologically (Wach is decently heavy-handed himself, doe) - when he fights Wilder, Joshua, or Povetkin.

I think the kickboxing is somewhat of a pro, and a con; it definitely seems to help him have a greater understanding of food positioning, and mastering of distance, but it also seems to inhibit him from sliding, and moving quicker, as he's used to plodding more to keep that front leg in position to check/counter/kick, which is obviously completely moot in boxing, but it's gotta be a hard habit to break. And like you said - of course the excess weight he's carrying. I was looking at his past weigh-ins on boxrec, and it appears he's fought as low as 242! Although that was over half-a-decade ago.. Here he was at 275 back in January of 2016; note he's got the very beginning of visible abs!! hahah. Based on this picture, I think his best weight is probably around 258-265ish. But I think he can still be very effective as high as 285, which is what he was around vs Wach. And we'll see how effective he is at 300..





So assuming he gets by Duhaupas, which is definitely no gimme fight, who would you like to see him fight next?


I see you mentioned Parker - I honestly don't like that stylistic matchup for him right now.. Heh, ironically, when I was searching for earlier weigh-in pictures, his manager mentioned Joseph Parker as a target.. But I think Parker might be too sleek for him, as Parker has an incredible gas tank, and chin as well, which would negate Miller's usual advantages he always has.. Plus I doubt Parker's team would want this high-risk/low-reward fight just coming back after that close points loss to Joshua.

But he's gonna have to either sink or swim eventually...

Also - just wanna give ya a huge thanks for shooting ideas back and forth with me too, mate. Lol I know this is a long post, but I just type so fast and can get carried away....

Yea definitely can take a way pros and cons from his kickboxing experience, he needs to learn to use his feet and head better. I think he might have felt confident wach couldn't hurt him so he was willing to get hit if it meant he could get off a combination. Never really know.

I think outside joshua, wilder, and povetkin Parker might be the most tricky. He can move get off shots fast and seems to have a good chin. It doesn't really make sense for either guy but I think it would be a good test. Miller and whyt e would be fun to watch too, the build up would be great..

No problem, always like to talk to people who don't just **** on fighters
