I got Dinu. I've watched all his old fights and believe he has the skills and the stamina to defeat Miller, but I'll go through my reasoning for picking against the -1007 favorite Miller is.
First of all, Miller has been negative with his promoter, Salita. He has even brought up in a camera interview how Salita took a dive vs Khan. So, in light of this, I'm expecting 'promoter retaliation' which would mean a firmer, larger ring. Possibly not though, as during glove selection, Miller chose white. White canvas and white gloves on a guy known for his power uppercut is not good for Dinu, but I don't think he'll stick around long enough to get cheesed by Miller's grab-uppercut technique.
Dinu has lateral movement, quality, lateral movement. He can jab, his timing is good. He doubles up the left hook fast, like he's been boxing for years. He counters better than Miller and I've even seen Dinu throw some feints. His physical condition is the best I've seen him in, and he's quite confident "I deal with people like Miller every day" is what he said. Dinu is the equivalent of a SWAT team leader in his country, and I just think he's seen more horror in his life than Miller. Plain and simple.
Miller comes forward, doesn't box and he gets very aggressive and irritated when you feed him the jab. When Wach started outboxing him, he resorted to a brilliant looping long-range quadricep punch to slow him down, if that lands against Dinu, Dinu's finished. He is good at slowing down boxers who frustrate him. I'm trying to figure out how to put a small amount of btc on dinu. lol, I feel like he's gonna pull the upset!
Another thing, Hearns recruited Miller basically to have a punching bag status HW under his control to feed AJ, should Fury beat Wilder. That way, AJ won't look like he's blatantly ducking Fury after he waxes Wilder.
