Comments Thread For: Photos: Jared Anderson, Charles Martin - Face To Face at Final Presser

[Slowhand]

Anderson is super talented, but he takes silly risks and makes mistakes he canīt afford when he steps up. Even Martin might be a banana skin if Anderson fights over confident (I still predict a flashy KO win for the kid tho).

Martin has improved from his days walking the earth like a god. But now he's 37 and stamina + punch resistance would be an issue. It is a good step up for Jared and I hope he starts taking some challenging fights afterward. Otherwise, the HW scene doesn't look good. For HW boxing to grow, we need good upcoming boxers who would step up and create a buzz. The US desperately needs a name or two in the HW division.

The outgoing generation is deteriorating and not fighting each other and the upcoming generation doesn't have many names to look forward to. Some of the "promising" stars are turning out to be mediocre with good potential but multiple weaknesses.

Martin will worry Anderson early in the first three rounds. He may drop Anderson but l expect to recover and win inside 8 rounds. This is a litmus test for Anderson's chin
