I like King CM. He is making a good show of himself being a valuable gatekeeper. There will always be a need for his services.

The thing I like about Jared is that he appears to be hungry and a gym rat and that's what it takes to be great! I will be ringside like I was when MIke took my team mate Jeff Thompson off his feet in the PAL Nationals in Niagra Falls, NY in 84.

Don't know much about the original opponent but Martin coming in has me a little more excited for the matchup.
Part of me always roots for Martin, guess he's a sentimental favorite of mine. He's a big, powerful southpaw. He's several small moments away from having a much different career. He narrowly lost to Kownacki in a fight where he was coming on at the end and the Pole looked to be on last legs. He was doing very well against Ortiz until he got tired and complacent.
Anderson should win this one but he can't take Martin lightly. Provided Jared wins, it will be a very nice name on his resume.

Originally posted by MastaBlasta View PostThis will be a real test for Anderson, who needs a few "name" fights at this point. That said, it is a dangerous fight. Martin was cruising to a win vs Luis Ortiz when Ortiz's skills and experience showed ... Martin was a little careless and he paid. Ortiz and Martin are battle-tested experienced pros at this point. Anyone fighting either of those guys is gonna have to bring it. I think this will be an important first BIG step for Jared. If Martin comes in with the resolve he has mentioned and sharply trained, this will be a real test for Jared Anderson. I believe Jared is up to the challenge (Kossobutskiy was a dangerous fight also).
This may end up being one of the best HW fights this year.
Martin has long since stepped it up after the Joshua embarrassment, where he wasn't trained and in proper shape .... nor properly prepared. That was a rush to the big bucks, and it cost him a lot. Since then he has gradually become a very solid HW contender. Ortiz derailed his momentum (I thought he won the Kownacki fight over the second half).
It's a great and dangerous step-up for Anderson. We'll begin to learn if Anderson can repeat his performances from the amateurs against top 15 competition. Pulling for the class of the Glass City (but I like who Martin has become too). Expecting a great show .... I'll be there.MastaBlasta likes this.
