    Tough fight to start at heavyweight that IMO.

    He’d be better off acclimatising against someone a bit smaller.

    Some punch I like Bellew though.

    I actually went for stoppage in rnd 8 to Usyk, wish I had cash on it, doh.

    Tbh I had it even but Usyk was starting to control it.

    More I see images like this I cannot see how Wilder takes Fury out. Even if he manages to wobble him with a haymaker it’ll take a nuclear bomb to take Fury out after all he’s been through to get back to this point.

    Mikey Garcia is either brave as * or stupid. The size difference is crazy, Spence is already big for the weight.

    Can’t possibly see how Mikey can win that, madness imo

    Mental size difference..

    Win/win for Garcia though. Moving up weights against the a guy already too big for his own weight and the heaviest handed in it by far. Shows bottle and when he loses it'll be expected..

    For Spence it's a bit mad. Mikey Garcia is class but much smaller. How much credit will Spence get? No a lot for me..

    Must just show that no one at welterweight wants anything to do with him. Danny Garcia/Thurman/Porter etc all don't want any of him clearly..

    Would much rather Spence moved up and Mikey Garcia went for Crawford or Lomachemko..

    Watched that fat *, Miller’s fight there. He’s having a laugh if he thinks he’s due a fight with or even able to trouble the likes of Whyte, AJ, Wilder or Fury.
    I’d back Hughie and Parker to school the big grotesque, roided out slob. He’s so basic it’s embarassing, as soon as he steps up he’s getting schooled.

    He's going to be fighting for the belt against AJ next year yet he's fought aged past it boxers or no ones. Eddie feeding him easy fights and then he will pass him off as this monster to UK casual boxing fans in Britain and they will lap it up like they always do and buy the ppv's. Miller needs to fighting someone like Parker or Joyce someone that can test him.

    I haven't watched a full fight of that Miller fella, but the snippets I've seen he looks like a big fat pile of *. So slow it's unbelievable, no movement and no stamina.

    Aye he's a very big lad but I don't see him doing anything at all with the guys in the top 10-15.

    Would like to be proven wrong though, who knows.

    There are a lot of mediocre heavyweights but I would have him lower than the top 3 (AJ,Wilder, Fury) and lower than the likes of Parker, Povetkin, Whyte, Ortiz, Pulev and maybe even Chisora and Hughie Fury. but it's hard to tell until he fights someone that not past it. He called out Whyte when he knew Whyte was already fighting someone he keeps calling out past it heavyweights like Molina, he's just fighting bums until Eddie allows him a cash out against AJ.

    AJ brutally destroys him within 6. He’s nowhere good enough, he’d get annihilated off any of the top 5-10 guys.
    Hearn must know himself even he can’t sell this * as a PPV
