MILLER MAKES MESS OF PERO: 'BIG BABY' BACK WITH A BANG, BUT IS HE CLEAN?

Jarrell 'Big Baby' Miller, the controversial American heavyweight, rolled back the years – or perhaps just the pounds – with a dominant performance against Cuban Lenier Pero. This wasn't a classic, mind, but Miller showed glimpses of the old swagger that once put him in line for a shot at AJ. Pero, a decent southpaw with an Olympic pedigree, found himself outmuscled and outworked by the sheer bulk and relentless pressure of Miller. It was a proper slugfest at times, not for the faint-hearted, with Miller landing some heavy leather and constantly walking Pero down. The Cuban had his moments, catching Miller with sharp jabs and left hooks, but he couldn't keep the 'Big Baby' off him. Miller's engine, often questioned given his… shall we say, 'robust' physique, held up surprisingly well. He kept pushing, kept grinding, and ultimately, the judges saw it his way, handing him a unanimous decision. It’s a win that puts Miller back in the mix, albeit a long way from the top table. The question, as always with Miller, isn't just about his boxing ability, but whether he can stay on the straight and narrow. The heavyweight division is crying out for characters, and Miller certainly is one. But after his past indiscretions, he's got a long road to earn back the trust of the boxing faithful. A win is a win, though, and he got the job done against a tough opponent. Let's see if he can keep this momentum going, and more importantly, keep it clean.
