Big Baby destroys Dinu, Shields dominates
By Bill Green at ringside
In a clash of unbeaten heavyweight contenders, 315lb Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller (23-0-1, 20 KOs) walked through Bogdan Dinu (18-1, 14 KOs) on Saturday night at the Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas. Miller, with a 78lb advantage, stalked Dinu and finally dropped him in round four. Dinu beat the count, only to have Big Baby put him on the canvas for the count. Time was 2:45.
WBA/IBF female middleweight champion Claressa “T-Rex” Shields (7-0, 2 KOs) defended her titles and added the vacant WBC belt to her collection with a one-sided ten round unanimous decision over Hannah Rankin (5-3, 1 KO). Shields was in command all the way. Scores were 100-90 across the board.

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.

Miller-Dinu post-fight quotes
By Bill Green
Jarell Miller: “Dillon Whyte calls himself ‘the body snatcher,’ but c’mon now. We both know he don’t throw body shots like me. Guys like Joyce that I keep hearing makes no sense. He needs to earn his stripes and get in line. I want the big names. I paid my dues.”
Greg Cohen: “Look for Jarell to turn around and fight right away in January. He’s not one of these guys that only wants to fight once a year.”
Claressa Shields: “She was tough, she was good, but guess what? I was better. I will say it again, I’m the best female fighter in the world. Not sure if that Hammer fight ever happens so I’m going to just keep knocking the door down and beating everyone in my path.”
Regarding the Class of 2016 US Olympic Team.
“This Team is making big noise. Niko undefeated, packing the house, Shakur closing in on a title, I mean everyone remains undefeated on the team. Conwell, Balderas, Mayer, Vargas and Russell – we killing it. After this is all done, you are going to rank this team as one of the best…just watch.”
Luis Arias: “I felt like the fight was close. I’m not mad. I can see a draw but no he didn’t beat me. He’s smart, crafty and closes the rounds strong. I was off for a year and felt some rust. I’m making the move to 154.”
Gabriel Rosado: “I don’t know what I need to do, they say I get hit too much, so I boxed his ears off. They say I always get cut, he’s the one all marked up. I mean everyone on Twitter and social media knows what happened. What can I say there are politics in boxing. The kid doesn’t even want a rematch and we all know why. Bring that fight to Philly or even NY, run it back. This one stings out of all my close fights because I’m fresh and have no wear or tear. If he doesn’t want it than give me another one of Eddies’s guys.”
Niko Hernandez: “I give myself a C+. I’m my worst critic. I felt like I could have started faster. But I got the victory and I’m ready for bigger things. Eight rounds was a breeze, I’m ready for ten rounders for sure.”
Brandon Rios: “He was as tough as expected but I’m relentless. His style suited me well. I love banging in there and this fight helped me get to the spot I want to be in. DAZN will keep me active, there’s some good fights on the table and we will set down as a team, make them happen. I told everyone that I’m not done and I have plenty left.”

British heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte backs Joseph Parker to bounce back
MARC HINTON
New Zealand heavyweight boxer Joseph Parker is getting through plenty of skills and drills at his Las Vegas training camp.
Joseph Parker's world heavyweight boxing legitimacy has received a ringing endorsement from the man who sent him tumbling down the rankings earlier this year.
Top British contender Dillian Whyte, who scored a controversial points victory over Parker in London in July to catapult himself into the world title conversation, is adamant Parker remains a hot prospect in the top echelon of the heavyweight ranks.
And, really, Whyte is as equipped as anyone to assess the chances of the New Zealander working his way back into the pointy end of the heavyweight business. He benefited immensely from a headbutt being ruled a knockdown early in their fight and then had to withstand being put on the canvas in the 12th round as Parker fought a valiant rearguard at the O2 Arena.
Whyte – dubbed 'The Undertaker' – has a December 22 matchup against fellow Brit Dereck Chisora that he hopes will be a stepping stone to a crack at Anthony Joshua's world titles in April next year, while Parker starts his campaign to regain the ground he lost with a second straight defeat when he takes on American-Mexican Alexander Flores in Christchurch on December 15.
"It was a hard performance, it was a gruelling performance," Whyte told podcast Boxing Social when looking back at the Parker fight in an interview from Manchester after Oleksandr Usyk's knockout of Tony Bellew.
"But when you're fighting guys like that you have to take them down, man, you have to trap them and beat them up, and take them away from their strength.
"In that fight I had a broken hand and a broken rib and a chest infection, but I'm not one for making excuses. I could have pulled out of the fight and let everyone down. But I didn't."
Then Whyte went in to bat big time for the 26-year-old Aucklander who is adamant he can make another surge in the heavyweight jostle at the top of his sport.
"Parker was good," Whyte told Boxing Social during a long interview. "People are writing Parker off but that's a big mistake. This guy he's fighting (Flores), an undefeated guy (he has lost once) ... he's going to get knocked out.
Dillian Whyte says he has plenty of respect for Kiwi heavyweight Joseph Parker after their July fight.
"Parker is a good fighter. He's not a chump, trust me. And he's tough, because [after] the punches I put him down with, he got up and shook them off like they was nothing and I'm very heavy-handed."
Whyte admitted that it was probably only experience that got him out of a jam in the final round of their July slugfest after Parker put him down for only the second time in his career. He took the standing eight count and managed to survive to the bell to secure a unanimous decision.
"The first time (he was knocked down, by Joshua) I tried to brawl up when I was hurt. This time my smarts kicked in. 'Don't do it, my friend, take the knee, get the count, recover your bearings, get back up and fight on'. And that's what I did.
"Life is all about progression and I'm progressing. If I keep making the same mistake over and over again, what's the point? Mistakes are all right, as long as you learn from them."
Since that contentious O2 battle the two fighters have headed in different directions. Whyte is being lined up for a lucrative shot at Joshua, probably in April, providing he gets past the veteran Chisora, while Parker has been left scrambling to find opponents to enable him to rebuild his reputation.
"Right now the only thing on my radar is December 22 (against Chisora back at the O2 ," he told Boxing Social. "After that we'll see. Joshua is a fight I definitely want. I'm improving, I'm climbing still, and I don't care. If the deal is not right, the terms are not right and the fight is not right, we won't have it. If everything is good and we're ready, then we'll have it."
Whyte also weighed in on Tyson Fury's much anticipated clash against American WBC champ Deontay Wilder on December 1 in Los Angeles.
"You have to give Tyson Fury credit. Unlike Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury is not a coward. He's been out three years, has come back and fought two pumpkins and has stepped up and is fighting supposedly pound for pound the No 1 heavyweight in the wold ... that's what Wilder calls himself anyway.
"Wilder is a coward, he don't want to fight no one. All credit to Fury. I hope he beats Wilder, then he'll come to England for big fights. I'm one of those big fights."
Whyte admitted the "smart money" was on Wilder but said Fury could not be discounted. "He's a bit of a weirdo, he can show up on the night and be terrible, or show up on the night and be good. I don't think even he knows what he's going to do."
