It was ludicrous, almost comical, if the stakes were no multi-million dollar high and if we didn't know that you don't play boxing, and gaining an illegal edge could prove deadly.
Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller took to social media, and on Friday night, posted a video which made clear that he wasn't blaming tainted supplements, or a dodgy coach…No, Miller looked at the camera and said he screwed up, and that he's humbled, and he wants to make it up to all the people he's let down.
“This is your boy “Big Baby” Miller here,” said a somber Miller. “A lot can be said right now. I'ma get straight to the point, I messed up. I messed up, I made a bad call. A lot of ways to handle a situation, I handled it wrongly. And I'm paying the price for it. Missed out on is a big opportunity, and I'm hurtin' on the inside. My heart is bleeding right now. I hurt my family, my friends, my team, my supporters. But I'm gonna own up to it. I'm gonna deal with it, I'ma correct it, and I'm gonna come back better. I'm humbled by the experience, I understand how to handle certain things. I'm gonna leave it at that. I love you guys and I appreciate you guys out there, and as fighters we go through a lot, I don't wanna make it a bad name for ourselves. It's time to do right, and get right. So I thank you guys.”
Your thoughts, friends? Can Miller come back? We assume he will get a lengthy suspension, being that he got flagged in 2014. What is the proper penalty? Talk to me!
