better from arias, no where near winning the round, but at least mixing in some heat. those leaping lefthooks are what he needs, but i think gotta mix odd one low. and follow up with a right sometimes. might be beyond him thought.

jah simply does things that very few other hws these days too

-body punches
-switches stances
-good reflexes
-totally at ease in the ring
-can punch and has some hand speed, sharp and busy jab

he's one of the most 'natural' looking hws in a while, in terms of being at home in the ring. only slight criticism ......... the d can get a bit lazy at times

Anderson needs to step up and fight a threat. Someone who will make him stop moving straight back. That's his achilles heel. He does everything else so well.

well, arias dominated and fornicating stupid when hurt.... Last punch was after the bell.... but not by much, still, if i had a fighter i would train them to hardly throw after the clapper unless they absolutly must cause you dont wanna gamble the DQ..

Toprank comentary didnt help anderson hype out, shitalking his opponent rather than pretending arius is a killer (like other networks would have).

Anderson into my top 15 now. mmainly on eyetest, but also on resume compared to how weak some have been recently.

Don't see why not. Love this kid, but really need to see him challenged in there.

DDD WBA reg belt is what i wanna see....

Top rank need to make some sneaky moves to make that fight. Let joyce fight Usyk and mabey promise DDD a fight vs Fury if he beats Anderson (thats the only way to get him to ditch the Usyk fight i can see)...

Jared Anderson. I’m on board. Obviously, his opponent tonight is no world beater, but Anderson looked good.

4 months between fights looks good on him. July/August I’d like to see him in there with someone who’d make for a good challenge.

I have shak as favourite vs every 135 and 140 fighter in the world…. Not some massive favourite, but there is no one I would back over him.

Side note… I think I now have boots favourite over every 147…

He should call out the winner of Haney vs Loma, lol. Loma could win, not a lock.

Haney will move up, win or lose I think. You're never 100% cutting that much weight. Rehydration helps of course, but it'll backfire if he keeps doing it.
