If Anderson is struggling to make Welterweight and he has to move up then I strongly fancy him against both Pryce and Moore. I have had to look at both guys closely over the years for obvious reasons you might easily guess and certain things are clear that they can both be knocked out and Anderson has been in with better fighters than both of these guys. Yes he lost to Ali Nuumbembee and now McIntyre but he has also been in with the gifted Okine and he has not been stopped. Furthermore Ando has gotten up of the canvas and won which shows he is not a front runner. Moore and Pryce are good by domestic standards but are they better than Ando I don't think so. All 3 at their best my money is on Ando. |

As for Moore, if Scott Dixon can stop him then Anderson certainly can. |

Dear Mad Jocks ,
If Kevin Anderson is to change weight then he should moved down to light welter and not up to light middleweight. To suggest he would have even a sniff of a chance against Jamie Moore is madness. What he needs to do is prepare 8 - 10 weeks for a Championship fight Regards, STEVE WOOD PS. Dunky - For the record Jamie fell over with exhaustion against Scott , it was not the punches |

"furthermore ando has gotten up off the canvas and doesnt need to be a front runner" - He got up off the canvas last week and couldnt get himself back into it, at all. Also, Jamies 3rd fight with jones is possibly one of the best comebacks in recent years. You cant discount the fact Anderson was beaten on home turf against Ali and Kevin Mcintyre (ffs) by saying "oh but he's been in with Okinke" - whos good but nowhere near great, infact whats happened to him... oh, nothing. How can a defeat at welterweight against an average domestic fighter all of a sudden make people think you can beat a top 15 world ranked light middleweight? This thread is crazy.

Duran beat him up simply because he is a better fighter. It amazes how some of you get carried away with domestic fighters who are popular like Moore whereas even his victories over Macklin and Facey indicate severe technical limitations which get exposed in higher class. I have been watching Anderson closely and I see something there certainly at domestic and international level. Also Anderson has guts. A lesser fighter would have quit against McIntyre he did not, he got up of the floor against Muttley and stayed the course with Okine and Nuumbembee. He is not a protected fighter and has something about him. |

This is not about Ajose we are talking about Ando and I know a good fighter when I see one. Ajose being able to beat Ando is not disrespectful to Ando because he would have the guts to get in there unlike other fighters I can mention. One thing is clear they bring them up the right way in Scotland that is for sure. |

His victory over Macklin has been covered by Terry, so no need to go there. If you watch how many shots got through - not many really. He "old manned" macklin big time. Facey. Are you talking about the first fight? What were the limitations 3 years ago? The second fight? How hard is it to motivate yourself to fight a domestic fighter you've beaten 3 years ago, add the fact you've been told you've got a euro title shot 6 weeks after and your minds-a-wonderin. Moore had a serious hip injury against Duran, who I believe he would beat hands down if he was fit. You say exposed at international class? He beat Jones twice, and was way ahead when DQ'd the 2nd time, yet Jones went close with Picirrillo whos fighting for the WBC title, or eliminator no? So your logic doesnt work. As for Ajose Ando / Moore. I actualy like Ajose, although I sometimes dont want to as Im sure you're fairly close to him in some way and I find your dismissive attitude towards other fighters such as Hatton and Jamie etc... really quite arrogant. To say Ajose would beat Jamie and Ricky with ease is laughable, especially when he couldnt put Gary Reid away(although I gave him benefit of the doubt over the new weight in that one). Also, your main point for Ando are "Isee something there, and he has guts" - errrrr.... |

Olu- poor form.... No way would Ajose beat Moore. Ajose is good- I give him his dues and props to you for coming on here promoting your fighter but you underrate Moore massively.

I am not anti-English at all. Though I have noted that some English fighters do get heavily protected. I give Moore credit for his victory over Macklin who in my opinion fought a technically poor fight. Moore would always lose to Duran who is a better fighter. As for Ajose I don't really want to discuss him and Moore because Frank would not allow it because all of us on the inside know exactly what would happen. The real irony is that some of you don't really know just how good Ajose is and will be shocked when he gets in there with a genuine beast and see what he does to such a fighter. |

I dont look too deeply into losses, defeats happen. Its a tough tough sport. But for people who do look too deeply into defeats? As I say, then you got to adapt to the argument & bring up the L's like they do. & wether guys like Steve Wood admit it or not, Scott Dixon stopped Jamie Moore inside the distance,, & Ando on his day is a much better all round fighter than Dixon. & thats not taking away from Dixon, cos he was a good fighter who sadly was too vulnerable to body shots to progress to european & world level in the sport. The boy had bags of talent though. As Jamie Moore found out |

When you look at it that way, its a no-brainer that Olusegun would clean up domestically between jnr welter & light middle. All the wailing & gnashing of teeth going on is because some of the posters are biased towards their own favourite english fighters. & before anyone calls me biased toward the scottish fighters, I have just admitted that I dont see any scottish fighter beating Olusegun now, & thats from a guy who used to argue that they could. & when a biased git like me admits a scottish fighter wont beat Olusegun, you should take that as an early warning of whats to come if any of the english lads dare step in with Ajose Olusegun in the near future. |
