Poll - Martin Bakole V Jared Anderson - who wins?

Bakole knocks him out.

Bakole is an underrated fighter, he'd bash someone like Parker up imo.

 

Bakole can break him down and stop him. Anderson is the goods but no matter how tough and game you are which I'm sure he is these big dudes will still break you.

24 years old. Still a lot to learn. Still mature size to be added. Needs to keep learning and shouldn't be going near these big men

 

Anderson knocks him down at some point, Bakole has proven himself to be tough but still overrated, Anderson is somehow better and in better physical shape...

 

Anderson might have a better chance than Bakole, because Bakole is kind of a mess, but Anderson was talking about his impending retirement at 27 before he ever fought anyone.

He kind of reminds me of Raul Marquez. When Oscar and Marquez both turned pro after the 1992 Olympics, Oscar got a $1 million signing bonus. And Marquez made the off-hand comment that if he got $1 million like Oscar did, he'd break his hand so he didn't have to fight anymore.

And red flags went up all over the place, as in this guy maybe doesn't have the heart for this.

Granted, Marquez ended up having a good career and picked up a vacant belt once (which Anderson might do). But people backed way off from Marquez after that.

Anderson seems like a guy who enjoys the attention of being a pro athlete, but he's already looking for the next thing (maybe broadcasting, like Marquez).

The guys who are already looking to get out of boxing before they even fight someone or win anything don't tend to win much.

 

Bakole puts Anderson on back foot and keeps him there and pummels him into submission.

 

Y'all use words you shouldn't. He would've lost if he got "exposed". He won...........clearly. Anthony Joshua got exposed by Fat Andy. Anderson didn't get exposed, he had a hard won fight.

Original question:
I think at this point Bakole beats Anderson. I don't think Anderson is developing properly.

 

Andy Ruiz is a top boxer, a dangerous one with plenty of pedigree. A banana skin for any top heavyweight of the current era.

A legitimate contender compared to Charles Martin. Anyways, they fought at different stages of their careers AJ/ Ruiz and Anderson/ Martin.

Point is, on his ascension in pro boxing never was AJ troubled in such a manner that early on.

Anderson was hurt several times across
multiple rounds. He narrowly survived a KO loss, regardless of score cards. I use the word
exposed as Anderson is hyped as the new era/new gen/ next big thing. And slipped up so early on.

 

Reckon Anderson edges him to a decision but Bakole can get the stoppage especially if the fight becomes a shoot out like the Charles Martin bout which is likely.

 

The Fundraiser by stoppage.

 

Jared Anderson by UD for me

 

Joe Parker beats both at this stage.

 

No way, levels

 

Agreed, Anderson currently nowhere near that level to beat Parker, give him a good fight for sure but Anderson might find himself beaten to the punch for the first time and once he's backed up I suspect his game falls apart. Bakole would be a tougher fight style wise, force Parker onto the back foot where he's less effective but in the end I can't see Bakole doing enough to stop him or earn a decision.

 

Well said pal.
