Michael WoodsJarrell Miller gave himself an F grade for his outing against Mariusz Wach, but wasn’t too down in the dumps. An iffy win is better than any loss, he noted at the Nassau Coliseum after his stoppage victory over the tall Pole Saturday night, and on HBO.
Miller took questions gamely from the media after the scrap and amongst the queries was this: who wins a fight between Anthony Joshua, the Brit champ, and the Alabama Slamma, Deontay Wilder.
Wilder, he said, because “AJ doesn’t really move” and those crazy windmill blows could work well against “a small bodybuilder.” Muscles “don’t help your chin,” the Brooklyn-bred cheeseburger lover said.

Editor/publisher Michael Woods got addicted to boxing in 1990, when Buster Douglas shocked the world with his demolition of the thought to be impregnable Mike Tyson. The Brooklyn-based journalist Woods has covered the sport since then, for ESPN The Magazine, ESPN.com, ESPN New York, RING, and he was editor of TheSweetScience.com from 2007-2015. Woods is also an accomplished blow by blow and color man, having done work for Top Rank, DiBella Entertainment, EPIX, and for Facebook Fightnight Live since 2017. He now does work for PROBOX TV, the first truly global boxing network.
