Comments Thread For: Hearn Concerned: Joshua Taking Risk With Miller in His Backyard

[EnglishOxide]

The lack of respect Joshua fans have for Miller is amusing.
The only prediction I will make is that a lot of them are going
to be surprised and probably even disappointed afterwards.

I've got a feeling it's the Fury/Wilder/anti-Hearn brigade who are running Miller down and trying to discredit him.

This will be a very tough fight for AJ. Miller can roll with punches, apply pressure and test AJs stamina. There's no evidence that he won't be able to take AJs power so I don't see why everyone expects him to get splattered.

There is no risk. Even DAZN referees have been stopping fights too early. AJ just needs to hurt Miller and land a few more punches and the ref will step in and stop the fight like they have with him before. I'm sure they will allow him to call his own time outs as well.

Will they also have a doctor at ringside, ready to jump up and call a break to give AJ time to recover if he gets rocked by Miller?

The lack of repect that Wilder fans have for Miller, now that he's signed to fight AJ, is also very amusing.

And very predictable too.

Nobody even mentioned Wilder.

If Big Baby can take AJ's power (which I think he might) this could be a dangerous fight, especially if it gets past 6

its a good fight,
even if Miller has arguably not really earned it.

By looking at them, you would think Miller would tire
faster than Joshua, but it may be the opposite, and it
will depend on who can impose their will on the other.
Joshua does not want to be going backwards all night
if he cannot stop Miller from applying methodical pressure.
Miller can be hit, but he has not shown any trouble taking
decent punches from his so-far average opponents.
What if Joshua cant get his respect early...

Joshua is chiseled, dangerous, and has been impressive at
times, but I think his fans are probably overestimating him.
This is an interesting fight.

Whether Miller will be able to take AJ's punches and keep coming will probably decide the outcome of the fight. Those no hard evidence either way, which makes it an intriguing match.

That doesn't invalidate what I said.

Backyard advantages don't exist in NY for NY or USA fighters in general. There will be more Joshua supporters there than people to support big baby. Ask Zab Judah about the support he received in msg vs cotto. Or ask holyfield about his support at msg vs Lennox Lewis.

"He is going into Miller's backyard. Miller is from Brooklyn. He is going to have big support, and he has a big mouth! They already have some history." -Eddie Hearn

As I recall the Jacobs vs. Arias card, with Miller on the undercard, did not do to well! Little less than 7K in attendance! Brooklyn, y'all need to do better! Let's Go!
