RESULTS: Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller stops Bogdan Dinu
Jeff Sorby -
Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (23-0-1, 20 KOs) used his 315 lb size to wear down and stop Bogdan Dinu (18-1, 14 KOs) in the 4th round on DAZN on Saturday night in a Matchroom Boxing USA card at the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.
The fight was interesting for exactly two rounds before Miller stepped on the canvas and punished the 6’5″ Dinu with body and head shot.
Miller dropped Dinu twice in the 4th round. The fight was stopped after the second knockdown of the round. Although Dinu looked to be the better conditioned of the two fighters in terms of his physique, it was Miller who had the better stamina of the two. Dinu weighed in at 237 lbs last Friday for the weigh-in, but he was gassed out after just two rounds on Saturday night. The fight was stopped at 2:45 of round 4. Dinu’s fatigue wasn’t the reason he was knocked out.
Dinu was stopped because he was getting hit with huge shots from Miller. Those punches would have knocked out a lot of fighters in the heavyweight division. If Dinu had more pop on his own shots, he could possibly changed the outcome of the fight. Miller was there to be hit the entire, even though he was trying hard to make Dinu miss by using head movement. Miller was too slow with his head and upper body movement to get out of the way of Dinu’s shots. Had this been a bigger puncher like Deontay Wilder, Luis Ortiz or Alexander Povetkin, Miller would have had problems.
The next step for Miller could be either a fight for the vacant World Boxing Association heavyweight title or a match against IBF, WBA and WBO champion Anthony Joshua. If you ask Miller which of those he’d rather have, he’d probably tell you that he wants the Joshua fight on April 13 at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn hasn’t ruled out yet a chance of Miller being the one that he picks for the fight.
