Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller- Peaking before our eyes!

[ykdadamaja]

Well, he had a good win over Gerald Washington. He didn't go crazy, he just worked his guy down to a crawl until he could not continue anymore.

I think Miller has something in him. Showed a fairly decent chin, albeit Washington's power is not that good. I think Miller would do well with going up against Dominic Brazeale or one of the Eastern European plods like Wach, Pulev or someone of that nature.

What do you think?

Jarrrell is a plodder and takes too many punches to get to the highest level. I was not impressed at all.

Jarrrell is a plodder and takes too many punches to get to the highest level. I was not impressed at all.

But he can take a lot of the punches, and due to his size compared to others, he has to take a lot of punches. He has a reach of 191 cm for a guy 6 feet 4. Trevor Bryan is the same height but with a reach of 201 cm. Gerald Washington was 2 and a half feet taller than Miller, with a reach of 208 cm.

Jarrell Miller's only chance is to get in and get in a lot... Make no mistake about it, he is not a Mike Tyson in terms of Tyson's quick lateral movement, waste movement, bobbing, weaving and hand speed... But when he does plow in he keeps his hands up and tanks through it like a soldier and he is ACCURATE on the inside and shakes people up into moving their guard when he lands heavy shots.

He is going to have a very short career, and it is why he needs to get a title fight before the middle of next year if not sooner. Guys like him, while good and can fight, cannot fight over the long term due to factors raised.

JMO....

You asked the question , so I'll give an honest answer. I watched some of the fight last night against Washington, and I'd heard about this guy being seen as a US HW with a lot of potential.
I honestly thought he was awful. I'm not gonna say he's "shit or crap" because that's disrespectful. I'm not even gonna say he's not World class, because with the current lack of quality in the HW's , it might turn out that he is World Class!
But he was slow, didn't throw any punches with conviction or bad intentions, he didn't throw enough, his movement is never gonna be great at his size, he's cumbersome and had no real desire IMO.
he's like a bigger, poor man's version of Dillian Whyte . And people on here know what I think of Dillian Whyte!!

His sheer size, strength, and determination to press forward will take him far in the division. Looks in shape despite weighing so much.

[Dark Lord Al]

big galoot with strength but is going nowhere , Washington couldn't break an egg and he rocked him.

[Alpha]

He needs to get his weight down for a start. His chin is still a question mark. For a guy that size his power is nothing to rave about. He will struggle against better opposition.

[Fenster]

His weight is a joke. He will create a human sink hole if ever facing fast explosive whackers like Wilder or AJ - TimmmBerrrrrrrrrr!!! Call the construction company, we need a forklift.

He's a good badass character/talker though.

The pre-fight between him and Whyte/Chisora would be mental. No way it doesn't kick off

[ykdadamaja]

But Andy Ruiz is no better....

[Beanz]

Peaking? What was he like on the way up and what will he like like on the way down? To be fair his chin seems solid so he will give other heavies rounds. The Whyte fight would be fun but I can't see him troubling anyone with or approaching a belt.

[Spicoli]

His legs make David Tuas look like Wilders. Its weird, the weight is nuts but looks largely concentrated in his base. Up top he's just fookin thick. He has the gift for gab down and knows how to make time on the mic. For a 'have a look' fight the Washington match was good chance and ties him into Wilder a bit, who he's been barking for over some months. To compare two fatties he has nothing on Andy Ruiz as far as boxing skill.

So is a straight up duck not to travel for Pulev fight or just a slackers route to the wba trinket? Not a fan of Miller talking it all up and then backing away.

I'll go with the latter. But its probably a little bit of both. Millers #3 across the board for Joshua in terms of mandatory. He probably figures its more trouble than its worth when he can just wait and hope someone puts mileage on AJ. Miller seems like a decent dude out of the ring but its probably the same motivation as most of the fighters today. He wants money and doesn't want someone like Pulev drawing back the curtain on his deficiencies(not that theyre already quite apparent). He'd rather get paid big to lose than take a chance and get paid smaller to win, secure his position for the winner of Wilder/ Joshua which will probably be the second fight at Wembly.

Miller likes to hang straight back and try to counter aggressors at theyre leaning into his counters. Not a very god style match up for Pulev that likes to throw punches in bunches and a straight line approach. Miller could wind up on his back a few times from some off balance flashies.
