Anthony Joshua vs. Jarrell Miller - 1 June 2019

[mfc_se15]

Quite interesting logged in here after reading the tweets and responses and it getting slaughtered and was curious to the reaction it would get here. Think my views are much more in line with those so far expressed here.

Is the anger on Twitter because it's ppv at silly o'clock? I get the annoyance but we all know every Joshua fight will be ppv regardless of where. Or is it because it's abroad And people won't be able to see it live who would ordinarily have gone Cardiff or Wembley? Would it have got panned as much if it was Miller at Wembley? A lot would have but I don't think it would have been as bad.

Really curious with ticket sales they seem high to me. If it still sells really well Hearn and Joshua really have made a statement

[ElJefe]

Wilder and Fury likely to rematch.

I'm not 100% sure they will rematch.
I read the WBC have ordered the winner of Wilder Fury is to face the winner of Brazeale Whyte next.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I would have thought Wilders team would have seen in a rematch clause after Fury beats him again?

With Joshua out of the picture I don't see any other options for those 2. Surely it's got to happen? I think the interim belt is designed to delay the mandatory. Gives Wilder and Fury enough time to sort everything out and gives Breazeale and Whyte something more meaningful (in their eyes, at least) than a #1 spot.

Joshua splatters him easy

[KiwiRider]

I see the fight going like this;
Joshua finds a home for his hard jab early, Miller's lack of head movement means he will eat those jabs either flush when he goes to throw, as a counter punch, or on his gloves still hard enough to deter a counter offence.
I can see Miller pressing the action, coming forward and trying to get in range with quick combinations. Though I can't see this having much success if Joshua keeps the distance with his better footwork and jab at range. If Miller is still in there after 5-6 rounds, he may have his best success if Joshua gets a little gassed and takes a round or two off. I also can't see Miller getting the KO unless it's from a flush combination of punches, as I don't think he has the one punch power of Wlad who is the only one to drop AJ hard thus far.
Miller I believe, has the best engine, and is well capable of throwing the most punches per round for the most rounds. In saying that, I don't think he can actually land very many against a guy with height, reach, footwork, and power advantages.
Miller also hasn't been chin checked like Joshua has. He might not even survive the first two rounds.

Reckon it will be straightforward enough to get tickets for this one? Been looking for an excuse to go back to NYC

[aidenp25]

Hoping tickets will be easy to get for this & not all get sold to Stubhub

[dr_devious]

On Talksport they Eddie was talking about having a mega undercard of 9 or 10 British and Irish fighters all fighting US or international opposition

[hitman_hatton1]

Is the anger on Twitter because it's ppv at silly o'clock? I get the annoyance but we all know every Joshua fight will be ppv regardless of where. Or is it because it's abroad And people won't be able to see it live who would ordinarily have gone Cardiff or Wembley? Would it have got panned as much if it was Miller at Wembley? A lot would have but I don't think it would have been as bad.

Really curious with ticket sales they seem high to me. If it still sells really well Hearn and Joshua really have made a statement

It depends on how many come across the pond here. Neither is known though a heavyweight title fight in ny will always draw interest.

I think it will do well, IF they promote it right. It's not a 90k seat stadium. I think MSG for fights is more like 21k, if that much. If we see ESPN cover the upcoming fight debate and storylines, it'll do fine.

ESPN is all about the UFC. They'll obviously cover it, but not nearly as much as Crawford/Khan.

If the promoters do the right marketing, it's imperative for them to pay whatever ESPN wants for pre-fight coverage. IMHO, with AJ "coming to America" (LOL!), it's a great opportunity for boxing to gain some interest. Just how I see it. Will it happen? I certainly hope so.

[Jon Saxon]

Miller stops an exausted Joshua in 9

[kevo]

Don’t mind this fight at all. Build up should be fairly interesting, and it should make for and entertaining scrap (Miller chugging forward, throwing plenty, but also eating plenty of big shots).

People on here really need to lighten up, worse than the ‘casuals’ at times.

[danconnollyeire]

Good fight.

Given the casuals are up in arms about this being a mismatch i had hoped the opening odds would be a bit longer (4/1 Miller win).

I'll be having a punt on Miller to stop this great british fraud job.

It doesn't matter how good the odds are, Miller is slower than Butterbean and about as mobile as a truck. AJ batters him, Wilder would blow him out, Fury would win every single round. Miller's showed nothing

It's because they spent all that time negotiating and talking about this n that opponent, had Wembley booked for months, gave it all that "we don't need the US. We're taking over Wembley twice, AJ is a star, 80k people blah" then went for Miller abroad. Miller's beaten no one.

It's telling in the AJ announcement video on Youtube they've disabled likes/dislikes lol. They knew the backlash

[TopGun]

So Wembley in April is cancelled?

If nothing else, it’ll be interesting to see how the PPV sells (if we ever get to find out). Joshua is madly popular with the casuals, but lots of them won’t want to pay and stay up until 4am waiting to see him.

Matchroom probably have to pay Wembley some compensation.

Be interested to know how much Hearn will lose on cancelling Wembley?

[Coco]

If Wembley has any sense they won't be punitive, they have had some good nights with Hearn and will do again.

[Oiky]

Fight leaves me cold.....Miller looks every bit the formidable fighting man, On Paper....that's what will sell to those who don't know better,I appreciate Tyson & wilder are having dealings with one another again, but those with sense have also got to appreciate this fight is f**king sh*t

we can all state with confidence how it's going to go & I can never call fights like that out an out fights/boxing matches,

[ILikeBeer]

Wasn't this announced ages ago?

[SteveO]

Wasn't this announced ages ago?

No, it was officially announced yesterday.

AJ should dress as prince akim from the film for the press conferences.

You're a massive AJ fan boy. I've got that by now. It's hardly like the big bodybuilder is particularly fleet of foot is it? If Miller can absorb his shots to close the distance then AJ will be where he never wants to be.
