American HW Prospect Jared Anderson

[oogiebe]

Tonight on the Stevenson/Gonzalez undercard, American amateur standout HW Jared Anderson makes his professional debut. Anderson won the 2018 Elite National Championships and is a good looking prospect. He has decent size at 6'4" and 233 LBS, and moves really well around the ring with good foot and head movement. . Very fluid, with a quick stiff jab and overhand right. At only 20 years old, it's good to see a young HW with great potential as Anderson.

Thanks. The kid's been boxing since he was 8 years old. He'll turn 20 soon, so really he's only 19. the USA hasn't had a true young HW with good amateur pedigree in forever.

Why not stay in the amateurs and try for the Olympics next year?

I'll ask him next time I see him.

Thanks for the heads-up, Oog!!

Nice to see a young American HW with solid amateur credentials joining the paid ranks!! Like you said, Jared is only 19 so he has lots of room to develop his skills.

Always a pleasure BC!

This dude is for real!!! Great debut! What a freakin' jab!

[margaret thatcher]

Looked okay on the heavy bag there. Hard to really tell much at all so early, most 'prospects' breeze through their first fights

If he was a brit, you'd be pissing your pants!

[margaret thatcher]

Not at all. And if you find earlier posts of mind on a guy like DDD you'd see I'm critical. Not sure why you think I'm some Brit hugger.

Relaxed as can be homeslice

Good. You had me worried there.

Lets see him against solid journeymen so he gets some rounds.

He looks solid thou for 54 secs. 6 rounder would do him good in the long run.

Nice debut Oog...thanks for the video!! The talent pool of young US heavyweight prospects is very shallow. I think Jared has a lot more promise than 7-0 Roney Hines. The scrub Infante in the video above that Jared just stopped in a minute lasted 4 rounds when he lost a 4-round UD to Hines in May of this year.

His handlers can move Anderson at a steady rate but there is really no hurry since he is not even 20 yet!! As a Top Rank prospect I'm sure Arum will be getting him some good TV exposure.

[margaret thatcher]

Don't tell oog that, he's hot for some hines too

Fu.king left jab ! Amazing !
I hope he will do better than Seth Mitchel (known as a great American HW prospects, at least in the my part of the world).

Hines is limited. Jared's been boxing for 12 years and it shows.

Anderson was on Team USA at 201lbs, not Super Heavy. He dominated Heavy & would’ve easily won the Olympic Trials but him turning pro, at 19 & 233lbs, clearly tells me he couldn’t make the weight at all anymore. The representative at Super Heavy, Richard Torrez, beat Anderson 5-0 at the National Golden Gloves in 2017, I’d imagine Torrez would’ve had the edge again, however, Anderson made a great decision to turn pro IMO, he’s a legit prospect.

Hines may simply just have some work to do. Winning the National Golden Gloves in 2018 was a major accomplishment, however, that was what broke his name out, then he immediately turned professional.. Anderson has sustained fighting at a high level for a long while.

Good point. Hines jumped to the pros right after his first major amateur achievement. With more time as an accomplished amateur Anderson has a more solid foundation than Hines to bring to the paid ranks,

What??? He was only 18-4 as an amateur. That's the equivalent to nothing. There is not much time to learn in the pros, and he has hardly learned much in those few contests. He most certainly will finish as a flop. I'll give him this: he has a fresh chin for which the pros can bang on. Good luck, he's going to need plenty of it.

Those amateur records on BoxRec are very incomplete most of the time. A guy like Beterbiev had like 200 am fights but it lists him as 22-4 for example.

We'll have to see more of this guy. I don't really see how people could tell from that 1 minute that he must be some awesome prospect, though he does have good amateur accomplishments. The guy that beat him 5-0, Torrez, was that amateur KTFO by Jalolov that got the WBC all huffy

Boxrec only noted some of the major National & International competitions from the last 5-6 years or so, that’s a mere fraction of his overall experience, Boxrec only has 10 of my 60, 70 plus amateur fights on my profile
