Comments Thread For: Jared Anderson Tested, Overcomes Scare, Goes Distance To Decision Charles Martin

Looks like he has trouble with bigger guys with longer reach , Fury and Wilder should be avoided for now, but I think he is competitive with the rest.

Lol Wilder isn't a bigger guy. He is a taller guy. Wilder is a natural 210-215 guy. Anderson is a natural 230-240 pound guy. Anderson is more bulky, Wilder is taller. Also Fury is also a natural 240 pound guy who comes in the ring out of shape and just so you will know Tyson Fury isn't 6'9 and he is more like 6'7.

Yes, 37 year old fighter with 2 KO defeats on his record is obviously going to be better than when he was undefeated and in his prime.

You do realize boxers can get better skilled wise right? The athleticism will fade but your skill level, maturity level, ect can get better. When Martin fought Joshua he just got hit and went down. He was clearly fearful of Joshua or maybe even fearful of being on the big stage. That being said Martin wasn't that good in his prime. But if you want to bash Anderson for his performance against Martin then bash Tyson Fury for his performance against Otto Wallin. Hell you should also bash Tyson Fury for being dropped and out boxed by the 180 pound light punching cruiser weight Steve Cunnigham.

anderson vs martin was nothing more than a undercard fight. This should not have been a main event by any means.

Ohio came out in droves last night man. Big Baby sells tickets he's defo a main event fighter.

A lot of guys got hit by Joshua and went down. But that can't be because Joshua hits hard. No, no, that's impossible, there must be some other explanation ...

Big Baby gets his easily. Martin should have kept his foot on the gas and finished him. The win leaves more questions than answers. I can imagine Wilders right hand landing on BB and putting him to sleep.

I wasn't bashing Anderson, btw.

I was just laughing at the cognitive dissonance some guys experience when a boxing match doesn't go the way they expected it to.

Good test for Anderson but now I’m not sure he beats someone like Wilder or Ruiz.

Not yet, no.

If you want to use your backward logic then Corrie Sander hits way harder than Anthony Joshua. Sanders destroyed a prime 27 year old Wlad while Joshua took 11 rounds to knock out a faded Wlad while being knocked down himself. What is your excuse for that? Clearly Martin just went down because he was afraid of Joshua.

Great story. Then you realize Wilder was knocked down by the 17-20 Harold Sconier. So based of your logic if Sconier could knock down Wilder then imagine what Anderson could do. Also Wilder was hurt badly by Eric Molina as well and stopped twice by Tyson Fury a guy who isn't a big puncher by heavyweight standards.
