He packs so much extra lbs . If you look at Anthony Joshua who probably works much harder ... But still AJ came with 250 lbs and gassed out badly in 5th round.

Now imagine Miller with his 270 lbs.


I think those odds are pretty good on Gerald Washington for someone who is betting on boxing.


I am not sure who will win , but let's be honest. Washington trained with Wladimir KlITSCHKO and faced better opposition overall. He could manage win on points.

I do not say that Miller will lose ... But odds are much more worth on Washington.

Probably not. I know Washington can't.

I expect Miller to win, and I think the odds are fair, it's certainly not a done deal yet.

Miller can fight for over 5 rounds and there are many kickboxers who are 270 ish pounds.

Take a look at Rico Verhoeven for example.

He already fought more than 5 rounds. Did not gassed out so drasticaly like Joshua for example.

Or Price against Hammer

I think this could happen to Miller with those extra lbs

He survived more than 5 rounds, but when he fought Amir Mansour he lost the last 5 rounds. He doesn't have good stamina. Too bulky.

Miller's probably too overweight and out of shape himself to take advantage, but stamina isn't a strong point in either of these guys' game I don't figure. I know for a fact it's not for Washington because I've already seen his stamina fail him in a tough fight. Looking at Miller and all the blubber he carries around, I highly doubt he'd have good stamina either.

He looked pretty fit in the lead up photos.
But so did Washington.
I can see a bloke that size having trouble maintain a work rate through more than 8 rounds.. Probably try for an early KO. If he gets Washington out of there in under 5 rounds it doesn't say a lot for Wilder.

Miller looks to be in better shape from the photos at the press conference. But let's see what he is at the weigh in first.

Wait wait. For example Stiverne knocked out Aerola and Wilder did not.

It does not mean anything.


Or Povetkin finished Rahman sooner than Klitschko.

And we saw that boy being knocked down with a jab and losing every single round

Fury never looked in great shape but always did 12 rounds comfortably. Miller might be the same. He's probably also more of a natural fighter than Washington, coming from a kickboxing background opposed to Washington's football background. Still, 270lbs+ is A LOT of weight for anyone to be carrying around for 30 minutes.

Arreola was stopped by Wilder. Quit on his stool because a KO was inevitable.

True but his weight has gone up. Last fight he was nearly 300ibs

Maybe he'll lose it again if he thinks a fighter is more of a threat.

298,75 appearantly he doesn't see this fight as a dangerous one.

I'd say he's just so undisciplined he'll never come in optimal shape no matter who he's matched against. He'll lose fights he could've won because of that, possibly this one.
