Comments Thread For: Jarrell Miller Dominates Johann Duhaupas For Decision Win

[Redgloveman]

Bro, you might be right. My concern is not Parker's boxing skills but his power and stamina. On the latter, he seems to take time off around the middle rounds (e.g. against Takam, Ruiz, etc). I just feel Miller in his face may give him problems although Parker has more power and does not mind throwing down. Would be a lovely fight to see.

True, I was very impressed with Miller's punch output across the fight against Duhaupas. Duhaupas didn't seem to have any strategy apart from hoping Miller would run out of gas, but he never did.

Would Miller be able to march forward so relentlessly against Parker who hits hard and often? You're right, it would be a great matchup.

I'm actually interested in HW boxing again. There are lots of good fights emerging. Good times.

You are correct. Punch output for a 300lb + guy was really nice. Duhaupas is a punching bag with not enough power too. He has the better chin than Miller but not enough power to keep him honest.

Would love to see Parker-Miller, or Miller-Whyte. Both guys talk enough trash to make the pre-fight interesting. It will help sort the shaft from the wheat.

Miller v Whyte would be great. They strike as very similar fighters. Miller has slightly better handspeed and I'd say Whyte seems to have slightly more power (certainly if the Browne KO is anything to go by). Both have a similar style which involves walking their opponents down without showing much nuance or appreciation of distance.

Miller uses good head-movement to slip inside and land his own shots (in the style of Joe Frazier) whereas Whyte relies more on his under-rated counterpunching. His catch-and-shoot is as good as anyone in the division but he can be a bit of a one trick pony and run out of ideas.

You're right, both in the sense that it would be a good fight to watch (the build-up along would be hilarious) and that it would tell us a lot about the division. I think one of the two of them can probably at least mix it with the best - without ever being likely to beat a Wilder or Joshua. The one who loses will probably never make it at the top.

Hard to say who wins without seeing them fight

One other thing I'd say we learned from the fight is that Povetkin can seriously crack. Duhaupas showed that he's easy to outbox but seriously hard to put down and Povetkin absolutely iced him in 6, wobbling him a few times on the way. His power must be up there with Wilder, AJ and Ortiz.

You have to fight the best to get their belts, that's what AJ has done successfully.
The other has been proven scared to unify since becoming champ.
It's no hidden info, everybody knows that.

This is why the alphabet organizations are so wrong for boxing
Laliga actually believes the crap they feed and then determinates (although in his own little way of thinking and bias ) who the best are
Let me ask you : if AJ had the green belt would that organization now be ok in your books ?
Your statement is very contradicting , so was Corrie Sanders , Charles Martin just to mention a few , the best cause they owned a piece of trinket ?
Sorry brother but you are one baffled sucker

You are the one confusing yourself. Whoever has the belt is best at that moment and if the belts are more than two, whoever has more belts is the best. It's a simple analogy.
Just like in football, whoever wins the World Cup is the best at that moment.
The period Martin's held the belt, he was the HW best for ABC group.
Simple.

Well said. Let's see what Whyte does next, i.e., Pulev or Ortiz.

Won't read too much into that. Povetkin was juiced up. Further, Duhaupas took the fight on less than 2 days notice - out of shape, no game plan, effectively a paid punching bag. He just stood there. Not saying Povetkin cannot crack but I think if I'd rate those who can crack, I believe Wilder is tier above all of them, then comes AJ and Ortiz in the next tier, then the rest.

You’ve been brainwashed by the Sulaiman ‘ s and Mendoza ‘ s of this world
So where would you class Fury , he was the man who beat the lineal champ
Right now doesn’t have a belt but still beat the man to be the man
Whatever you won’t get it anyways
You just seem not capable of taking that extra step to comprehend that those belts don’t mean chit

[Buckfever]

I kind of like him and I wonder what he looks like 40lbs lighter. Not sure that will be enough improvement to take him to the next level. He definitely needs more than what he has now.
