Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2018-04-28, some good exchanges between Jarrell Miller and Johann Duhaupas but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.The undefeated Jarrell Miller entered this fight with a record of 20-0-1 (18 KOs=90%) and he is ranked as the No.7 heavyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Anthony Joshua). The only man who stopped him in a draw was Joey Dawejko in 2013, since then ‘Big Baby’ Miller has collected 16 consecutive victories beating Fred Kassi (Miller vs Kassi), Gerald Washington (Miller vs Washington) and Mariusz Wach in his last three (Jarrell Miller vs Mariusz Wach).
His opponent, Johann Duhaupas, has an official boxing record of 37-4-0 (24 knockouts) and he entered as the No.13 in the same weight class. He lost to Alexander Povetkin in 2016 (Alexander Povetkin vs Johann Duhaupas) but then he has beat Davit Gogishvili, Evgeny Orlov and Newfel Ouatah. Miller vs Duhaupas is on the undercard of Daniel Jacobs vs Maciej Sulecki. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Miller reminds me of Buster Douglas. I highly doubt he will cause the upset against Joshua though!
I like miller good boxing skills and cardio even with 300lbs!!!! If he loses 20-30 lbs he will be faster and more powerful! Yes thats right!! Speed impacts power too! I loved this performance and i think he has good power, he just needs to sit down on shots sometimes. He might not beat aj or wilder but he will give them a hell of a fight and its 50/50 with him against ortiz, whyte and parker imo!!!! Watch his sparring with a prime wlad he got skills too, not just mindlessly come forward and throw. In the pocket he uses feints, jabs, catch and shoot counters, lots of variety to both body and head and also sets up traps and shots well and uses veteran moves like pressing against a guys side or chest or holding the head slightly etc. He has quite good head movement / upper body movement / footwork / high or cross guard when needed too. Very nice skills and moves for a 300lb heavyweight and beautiful variety and combinations. Almost the total package bar a little more needed speed and power, which he can get with losing some weight and sitting down on shots better. Underrated jab too. He can punch too! He has a high ko ratio …. even wilder didnt ko stiverne in their first fight and nearly went the distance with johann, scoring a tko where johann was still standing and conscious, his team and the ref just saw it as a pointless one sided beating, kinda like here. Aj went the distance with parker and had trouble with takam, not all top heavyweights are capable of a blowout under 4 rounds in every fight!!
Miller is fun in and out of the ring and very underrated. ‘Fans’ just hate on him but he is exciting.
If this is all Miller has he is going to be in trouble with Joshua since his rival in this fight was just a mediocre boxer but with a good jab.
