    Stopped Rodney Hernandez in 4 last night, good scalp for his 6th fight. Hernandez is a durable journeyman who took Kownacki and Hunter the distance.

    At 20 years old Anderson has real potential, fast for a big guy with heavy hands, fluid punching and movement. Can see a super fight against Dubois happening down the line.

    I like what I see so far, fights really good as a southpaw too

    For his age, he shows a hell of a lot of talent, refinement, and potential. He does things already that guys like Wilder, Ajagba, and hell, most other heavyweights never developed. I wonder if Ajagba realizes that he was brought in to be a meal for this kid lol.

    First I've seen of Anderson. Looks decent for someone so young but I really dislike the way he brings his jab hand back to his waist or lower sometimes after throwing. You'd think a good fighter would have a field day countering that.

    Slow hand speed and bad defense like Ajagba, didn’t like how he turned around and swept his feet at Hernandez last night when he was still getting up, he’s another arrogant fighter that will get exposed eventually.

    I don't care how early it is - if he stays hungry, healthy, and driven - he will be THE superstar HW over the next decade-plus and alongside LL the 9only other modern ATG HW.

    Ya that is a little worrying to say the least but certainly correctable.

    Like when a dog takes a crap right? It really turned me off of him tbh. Fights over, you got the better of an overmatched opponent and then you do that? The lack of sportsmanship was....words fail me. I'm all for not touching gloves at the beginning of every round and all that during the fight but that was uncalled for imo.

    Yup, he's young, but after his display at the end of the fight ( see above ) he's on my ignore list.

    A heavyweight southpaw that can bang!

    I think we may have something special here. Definitely one to watch

    He looks decent, not astounding, but decent.

    Hopefully he doesn't get too big for his boots. Long way to go for now.

    Yeah when the dogs crap on soil and kick dirt to cover it. Once I saw Jared do that he showed he’s another fighter who has no respect for boxing. Then people wonder why many boxers can’t connect with the general public.

    Not necessarily the next big thing but he looks good. Needs to work on some things tho especially his defense. You can not fight like this against a guy who can actually punch and fits the size.

    That's the slight concern for me too, his defence. I think that'll improve though as he matures a bit, but I like what I see with him. I think he's a future World Champion.
