American HW Prospect Jared Anderson

[jamesmcdonnell]

Beautiful jab, fights with a low guard, a little bit square on for my liking, but that jab alone is going to win him many fights, don't see too many fighters utilize the jab like that any more, that was more a straight left than a flicking jab, a lot of power in the shot. Looks to have decent hand speed too, nice work downstairs.

Need to see him in a bit more of a test.

[cultus]

I like the body shot in the end. Looks to have good movement. Good luck!

[oogiebe]

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.

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.

Oops. Someone has their facts screwed up. (again).

Lol, just a 'bit' more of a test? The guy was a total heavybag, typcial pro debut trash can. A reflex bag would've given JA more issues.

Yeah, I was being understated. It's what all the cool kids are doing these days. Get with the program.

[margaret thatcher]

How do we rate his skirt?

He did look good. His technique is what I'd expect from a well seasoned am. That jab is exceptional. Hope he's really active so a step up could happen within several months, although anyone is pretty much a step up from the guy he whacked.

Boxrec statistics. "Oops" is something the rainbow boys say and write (again).

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

Oh well. When I quote boxrec records I don't search their veracity.

Can we tell just by watching a guy on the bag in the gym if he's got a beautiful jab

We get it. You're not impressed. Don't follow the guy. Why must you go on and on when other posters are sharing their opinions. Geez, sometimes you are like an annoying grade school lass.

Honest question. You yourself posted recently about other fighter that you can only tell so much when the opposition is a certain level.

[sturm vogel]

How does any boxer, who has accomplished nothing as an amateur, be regarded as anything after one (1) professional fight?

By the way, a prospect is something within one eye's view, and, in that sight, we may express that nearly all, if not all, posters here cannot see this Jared Anderson .

Fair enough question. Going by what he did in his 1:04 of his first pro fight, I like what I saw. Never said he's gonna be great, but he is the best young American HW in years (including his amateur career which I have seen over the last several years as I follow USA boxing and am a member). It's obvious he is a pretty polished fighter and has potential. His jab looked great. I also stated that I hope he fights often so he can step up soon and that anyone was pretty much a step up. We've all seen young fighters in debuts. They win because they are supposed to. But many of them if not most don't show that kind of jab and movement regardless of the opponent. He is already way more fluid than many of the young prospects. The rest of his game will be deterimined over time. Right now, we are discussing what we saw in his debut.

Go look beyond BoxRec and see what the kid's done in the last 4/5 years.

In the amateurs only International accomplishments are worthy of much praise. Jared's international accomplishment: 2015 Junior World Championships - 5th.

I have watched some videos of him. If he truly has been boxing since he was 8, he has learned to be flat footed and square up to his opponents. Great apprenticeship. Most certainly will not be a heavyweight sensation. Mark that!

Sturm, it seems like searching for veracity is not one of your strong points. It's easy to bash a young prospect like Anderson & I respect/admire Oogie for coming up with threads about prospects like him. Naysayers/skeptics like you can pontificate all day about how Anderson will be a bust and make no impact in the pro ranks but the fact is that only time & experience will tell how his career will play out. He's got promise & several other commenters have already given him some credit.

You would be better served to find some HW prospects of similar experience level & tell us how you think they compare to Jared Anderson. I already did something like that by pointing out that the same scrub that Anderson demolished in 54 seconds lasted 4 rounds in losing a decision to 7-0 Roney Hines. By comparison, Jared's demolition doesnt look too bad/

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.

As for Stevekrazy, what he says is definitely true about BoxRec's incomplete database of amateur fights. The folks there have done a good job of adding amateur records to the mix, but there are still lots of fights missing so far.

You're bring obtuse. It's obvious that technically he has an excellent jab.

I know not "seems". But, wondering in amazement over a 1-0 pro is premature. With few exceptions, let them fight a year or two or three before evaluating. The few exceptions are the type with vast and decorated amateur achievements as their starting abilities are already proven.

[Paci]

Well, we see who is right in about 4 or 5 years.

[ewenhay]

He's got a good jab. Probably why he uses it almost exclusively. Potential danger to rely on that too much and not develop some other skills though. Still young though with loads of time to develop.

If he develops his other punches and his footwork in the same way as he has done with his jab he might have a chance.

Hopefully they keep him busy

[jewboypgh]

hard to tell. that kid he fought was garbage. i mean really bad
