The hard-hitting Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller looked to be back in the spotlight on Saturday when he took on fellow heavyweight Daniel Dubois in a scheduled ten-round heavyweight bout. Dubois, 19-2, tried to move, avoiding his opponent in the first. The 26-0-1 Miller, who looked absolutely huge, was clearly looking to impose himself by being immovable. In the second, Miller continued to stalk his man while waiting for his chance to land big. That being said, Dubois was able to hit a nice shot during the latter part of the round. However, Dubois could not make anything clear. However, he was able to get open for Miller early in the third. In fact, the Englishman was able to land well. Still, Miller pressed on.
Things had fallen into a pattern in the room. Miller chased, Dubois occasionally got a good shot. However, in the second part of the chapter, Miller increased the pressure, allowing himself to hit and land. However, the fight became quite slow in the fifth. In the sixth, Dubois destroyed Miller. What’s more, Miller looked exhausted on his stool after he finished the round. In fact, Miller looked low on energy in the eighth. In fact, Dubois started punching Miller during the round.
Dubois shook Miller hard in the top of the ninth. At that point Miller was simply being beaten. And yet Miller kept going. In the tenth and final round, Miller continued to advance. However, he simply couldn’t stop hitting. Dubois even spent one-on-one time with Miller. And, the biggest surprise of all, Dubois stopped Miller with just seconds left in the fight.
Dubois clearly remains a live contender in the heavyweight division.
