I still wanna see him come over to the UK, the expriance & exposure would be great for him!

OK, I was expecting a "step-up" fight, but at least Jared is staying busy!

Pay me, keep me busy fight; these h_es on me though! I like this kid but I can see him losing determination if not challenged he need a real dam fight with one of them Euopean faded bums that will make him dig deep, he won't develop from all these unchallenging American cash grabbers. Fact!

Very good fight there needs to be more of these U.S match ups ,both are capable of doing a lot . Obviously Anderson is the favorite but if Arias surrounded himself with much better advisers he’d be much better . He’s fights two guys in the ring his opponent and himself, never seen a guy compact like that waste so much energy doing so much uneccessary movements .

He will get a nice highlight reel KO against an "undefeated" opponent on a national stage. He may have to earn it against a slightly more respectable fighter than his last few bouts without there really being any danger to him. It is a good career move. At his young age, I think it is fine. But he will need to step up to a "B" level HW at some point soon.

Jerry Forrest was B level (he had just had a draw with Zhilel Zhang). On Anderson's part, he is still young and kinda brash. His youth could get him in trouble more-so than any lack of skills. He needs more fights to "mature" and develop the confidence that he can take guys out without getting into wild slugfests (which at HW are dangerous for everyone, him included).
