Comments Thread For: Jared Anderson Beats Down, Stops Andriy Rudenko in Fifth Round

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

Something about the past year has got me wondering how much time boxing left as a serious sport. Bad refs, bad decisions, bad matchups. The biggest fights of the year featured youtube fighters.

The up and coming prospects all look overrated. The talent level in general is falling. In past decades there were enough good fighters in the sport to make it interesting. Apart from Crawford and Inoue, it is just kind of meh.

Tonight was a good representation of where the sport is heading. Boring, mismatches, announcers desperately trying to make it all seem exciting.

The last year has just left me with no desire to even bother with it anymore.

Look at the league minimum salary for NFL and then look at how few boxers make even that much. So much of the talent is going to other sports and I imagine many of these kids are seeing that even if they devote their lives to boxing, promoters don't care enough to get them good fights.

What can you say , Big Baby got hit often and hard but still got the knockout
His opponent didn’t seem to wanna be there at all
Not sure if it’s Anderson’s power or not but he looked like a defeated fighter after the first few blows
Anderson needs to tighten that défense , can’t see him going to far without it

So is Adjagba next for Big Baby?

Right. Like feather chin Dubois wasn’t an overmatched opponent. Usyk folded in half from the Dubois body shot. Imagine what a real puncher could do to Usyk.

The low blow fest was the fight before Anderson's in the same card. You must be confusing something.

The Heavyweights are ALIVE!

Big Baby actually looked pretty good in this bout. Much better from when he faced St. Martin. We'll see what happens next.
