Hearn planning DAZN show on Jan.18 with Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller headlining

[Ruthless-RKO]

I like that Miller is active.

[joshj909]

He does look insistent to go down the WBA Regular route to get a shot at AJ but it looks as if Charr v Oquendo will be back on at some point so possibly Trevor Bryan for the Interim WBA Regular belt? however, Bryan did turn down the fight that Dinu took but it was on fairly short notice.

If not him then maybe someone who is lower in the WBA rankings like Carman. Also, Joyce is ranked 9th and that would be a very good scrap to watch but i think Miller would be reluctant to take it. But the most likely of the ranked WBA guys that ticks all the boxes for Miller.... Gullermo Jones, ranked 14th

could see it being zhang zhilei, the guy who was supposed to fight ustinov on the dazn monaco card for some wba trinket but couldnt get his visa on time

This looks plausible. Similar to Dinu in that he had a good amateur career, has done nothing since and has aged a bit.

Hunter would be a good fight but i think he's too much of a threat for Miller to accept it. I also think Hearn has his own plans for him.

My outside bet, Marco Huck.

I think it's time for MIller to step up already. He talks pretty good. Need some feasible measurement of where he's at.

Yeah, like Wilder was, with his first 34 fights
There is active, and there is standing at a taxi rank smacking the turbins off the drivers waiting in line.

[candyslim]

Well, whoever Miller fights, let's prepare for disappointment
Just one guy in the top #15 would let us know how good he actually is...

But he's already working his way through the top ten and beating them all one by one.

And when he's finished with Poland he'll fight his way through another country's top ten

Poland? What about Adam Kownacki? He ain't even plumbed the depths of Poland's HW's, they just dragged some old bloke out of the care home for a beat down without his meds

[candyslim]

He wouldn't take on Kownacki, Kownacki can fight ... er, I mean Kownacki is a pal

Seriously, I like Miller but I wish he were a little more ambitious. If he shared my belief in him, he would be taking on the toughest guys around instead of ancient cruiserweights and former fringe-contenders

if he wants to fight a Polish fighter once again then i would like to see Miller vs Ugonoh

unfortunately it's impossible now as Ugonoh is scheduled to fight Demirezen in march

[dagilechia]

i guess that Miller will face one of those fighters:

Robert Helenius
Otto Wallin
Dillon Carman
Alexander Dimitrenko
David Allen
Andrey Fedosov
Adrian Granat

[oogiebe]

Miller needs to step up and face a top HW. At the very least top 15. Better a top 5-10. Pulev is my choice for next fight.

No way is Pulev risking his IBF mandatory and an AJ payday for Miller. Miller missed that opportunity when he refused to fight Pulev.

It's too bad, but Pulev is still my choice. AJ v. Pulev is a snorer.

Ugonoh seems to be lacking in stamina. I don't see Ugonoh v Miller as a great deal more competitive than Adamek v Miller and probably no more so than Wach v Miller.

Exactly. Miller should have taken the Pulev fight. It would have meant travelling to Sofia, and the payday wasn't going to be spectacular, but I think after eating a load of jabs he'd have overwhelmed Pulev and put a target-lock on Joshua.

I sometimes suspect he's more interested in fighting Charr than Joshua.

yes you are probably right but at least Ugonoh would probably land some big punches in the early rounds and would test Miller's chin. but who knows, maybe this time Ugonoh would have different smarter plan and will try to use his superior reach.

i guess that Miller will face one of those fighters:

Robert Helenius
Otto Wallin
Dillon Carman
Alexander Dimitrenko
David Allen
Andrey Fedosov
Adrian Granat

Would not be happy with any of them because we know he beats them all.

i wouldn't be happy as well but that's what we will most likely get.

On second thought, Wallin would be acceptable because he’s got a win against Granat and is still unbeaten.

yes he's probably the best choice out of that list but seems he's not a big puncher and except of Granat he has faced only bums. he's maybe not much better than Bogdan Dinu.

Less than 6 weeks away. No way is it anyone of credibility. I seriously doubt any of the names mentioned will be his opponent

Pulev will be fighting decent opposition for his next fight according to Arum.. so he will be risking it.

[Nondescript]

I'm sure it will be a card full of riveting 50-50 style matchups.

[Ilya Muromets]

DAZN better start putting some good fights on or I'm going to cancel my subscription with them.

[joshj909]

Pulev will be fighting decent opposition for his next fight according to Arum.. so he will be risking it.

Albeit not his fault lately due to nobody wanting to fight him this year, Pulev has not fought many risky opponents, especially not for a while. And the AJ fight makes him a hell of a lot of money that he won't be able to work his way back up tonif he loses. I'm not convinced.

Arum said he wanted Pulev to have a tough fight in In Spring. He said what’s the point in going into the AJ fight and getting annihilated.. which is true. He needs a true test and needs to know he’s at the top of his game before going into the AJ fight..

This is all just words right now though. He might fight a name that might not be able to cause him problems. Gotta be better than Samuel Peter and ‘safety pin’ Johnson.

Credit to one of the posters for that nickname.

My guess is something like Joey Dawejko, Fedosov or a rematch with Dimitrenko. I hope i'm proven wrong.
