Heavyweight Jarrell Miller (28-1-2, 22 KOs) and Lenier Pero (13-1, 8 KOs) put on an entertaining 12-round fight at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, NV, on DAZN, but in the end, Miller was just too much and scored a unanimous decision.

The judges saw this one 117-111 x 2 and 115-113 for Miller. After the fight, Miller called out everyone, but one name kept coming up: Deontay Wilder. That’s a big fight if they can make it next.

In the opening round, Miller was throwing his left jab while staying in position. Pero threw his right jab and also stayed in position until he began moving with his right jab around the ring. Pero landed a big left hook that made Miller tumble a bit, which was the biggest punch of the round.

Pero picked things up in the second round with left and right hooks that connected on Miller’s head. He appeared more comfortable throwing his offense as Miller was not moving his head and was taking the shots cleanly. Miller landed some big right hands too, but Pero’s aggressiveness dictated the pace of the round.
