J Parker vs J Miller - WBO Title

Discuss this fight.

It appears as though Miller maybe the next cab off the rank in the WBO rankings now that Hughie Fury seems more interested in a WBC bout with Wilder.

Good fight.. Parker wants to fight on a AJ card so a voluntary defence vs Whyte on the AJ Wlad card would be great business for everyone.

Miller is a big powerful guy, but he's fairly slow. I think Parker could beat him to the punch in exchanges, but he's gonna want to be in and out in the early rounds to try to keep out of range of the big man. I think if Parker takes Miller into the 2nd half of the fight he'd have a major advantage with stamina, but his chin could be put to the test early.

Outside of NZ I'd give Miller at least a 40% chance. He seems to have a great chin based on the kickboxing footage and he puts together some decent combinations at times.

Parker is seriously compromised by his footwork .. Flat footed is not the half of it. Anyone who can move will give him nightmares imo

Surely the WBC won’t allow Deontay to engage in yet another voluntary defence of his title, which means that the Wilder-Fury bout should be considered highly-unlikely?

It’ll be an absolute disgrace if the WBC approved Deontay Wilder’s request to face Hughie Fury in March, because it means that it is likely that he would go on to hold the WBC championship for more than 2½ years without having ever faced a mandatory challenger.
