Yeah i think Anderson will be too relentless for Muttley, depends whether Muttley can punch with enough authority to keep the Scot at bay for long enough. Anderson seems like the type of character that can go all night so i think his workrate will overwhelm Muttley.
No way Muttley will stop Anderson inside a round. He has a fair punch but Anderson has a better percentage K.O than Muttley. I think Anderson will be too quick, strong and smart for him. Anderson by K.O.

Dont let KO %'s midlead you: many of Muttley's early fights were 6/4 round run outs where he didn't always look for the KO or apply himself with great endeavour.
With the title on the line I fancy him to stop Anderson, who's attacks can be somewhat predictable. Muttley is at his best when counter punching an advancing foe - Anderson style should suit the Champ perfectly.
I totally disagree that Anderson is predicable, if he was Joshua Okine would have sussed him out cause Okine is a good tactition, it didn't exactly take him long to suss out David Barnes style. Anderson can box just as well going forward or back. In regards to Muttley not stopping guys cause he wasn't pressing himself, if he was that heavy handed he would stop them anyway. Anderson by K.O, too fast, too furious, too hungry for Muttley to handle.

Barnes was playing with Okine and beating him easily untill he got caught.
Chaddo. I agree Barnes was cruising it against Okine for a few rounds, but once Okine sussed him out he gave him a slapping. Well mate, who would be your preferance for Ali to fight?
Tough one to call, this. Just side with Anderson at the moment, I reckon he might be that bit busier. But, as others have said, that could play right into Muttley's hands.
Anyone planning on going to this? I might make the trek up myself, Brum isn't that far away.

Mutley looked bigger than Jennings!
Jennings is taller and was a pound heavier for their fight .
I didn't see all of that fight and can't remember that much of it , maybe Jennings was crounching .

How many Muttley fights you seen mate?
Not many would be my guess. I have followed him most of his career so trust me when I say his KO % doesn't reflect the power he carries. Jacko is an experienced pro and he is telling you the same...
I like Anderson and he really proved his mettle against Okine (a fight I well expected him to lose) but still I reckon the Midlander will do him in this one.
