Martin Bakole is big but slow as hell! Jared just need to fight with his hands up and learn to catch shots and counter opposed to slipping and falling back and he'll win easy!

Anderson's reluctance to be hit combined with Bakole's punching power makes this Bakole vs Yoka II.

I'll bet $500 US DOLLARS on the UK African Bakole By KO

Neither has much of a record, but I'd pick Anderson for his slick boxing skills.

I've tried to warm up to Anderson, but at the end of the day, he just seems like alot more like the great hype than the great hope. In his one "baby step up" fight he looked bad....Charles Martin was never that good and he is old, and he almost stopped Anderson, a few more seconds and that is a very different outcome.

Throw in the "I don't really care about titles, I'm here to make money" attitude, the apparent lack of respect for other's lives behind the wheel, and a certain unearned arrogance....

Yeah. I am fine if Bakole knocks him cold. If Anderson does win I see him running and a boring points win and crappy fight, he won't want to get caught.

I don't think I've seen Bakole fight before; a lot of people are saying good things so it's got me pretty hyped for this one too. I'm just going to leave some mystery for myself and wait to see Bakole on fight night.


I can only speak on Anderson - he had some shaky moments in the last year or so, but I liked that they kept matching him up with southpaws, which have shown to be difficult for him. He was talking big back at the time too, it was like matchmakers were like "slow down kid, you aint that good yet." They matched him up against styles they thought would be tricky for him. Anderson got touched in each one of those fights: that Tennis player, Jerry Forrest, and Martin. He had shaky moments and he had to stick with it.

This is not to make a style comparison between Bakole or any of those guys, it's simply to say hat Jared was matched in fights that were progressively tougher for him. They happened in quick succession; he came through but not without learning that maybe he isn't all that yet and needs to improve. Can't lie it hasn't looked the best, but I'm putting stock in those previous fights and that he should make a leap in this fight

Anderson keeps himself pretty active which is nice. Also, If he's just fighting for money, well.... money is a hell of a motivator.

I'm feeling a lot more confident of a Jared Anderson win, with Sugar Hill in the camp. We should see a more defensively sound Anderson, and one more focused on an early night
