    Yes - in theory - you could train him down to that level and make some entertaining fights with Babic or (for example) Richard Torrez Jr. Scott, himself, has said he wants to get down to 230 lbs and see how he feels there.

    Obviously, the first serious boxer-puncher he comes across - regardless of how well Scott is trained in the future - would blow him to bits.

    More than likely, though, we've seen the last of him.

    Bad...enough.

    It was a good, fun entertaining brawl. Very close throughout. Scott started gassing in the round previous to the KO.

    The bridgerweight thing is like the early days of cruiserweight — nobody knows what it is, and even if you explain it’s ‘small heavyweight’ then nobody cares.

    Which means there’s no money to be made.

    Put up billboards and take out TV ads in the nearest big city to you advertising a bridgerweight boxing championship fight and charge $10 a head ringside and you’d be lucky to draw 100 patrons.

    As it stands right now...Bridgerweight isn't really a thing.

    Even the few people who know about it can't name more than 2 or 3 fighters participationg in it.

    Not sure I have a solid opinion yet.

    It's no sure thing for Jared; he's rather easy to hit and he hasn't got much handspeed that I can see.

    True. I just get the sense DD doesn't have a top level chin and Anderson can hit.

    Cruiserweight was legitimized by Holyfield. Maybe Torres could do it for Bridgerweight (not that I want to see that happen)?

    Very few cruisderweights have had Vander`s experience and guile.

    Bridgerweight will never be a thing, luckily.
    The sooner it's gone, the better.

    Here's the thing about Bridgerweight -

    Right now any credible fighrer is only going to go there if his promoter wants hin there. If a promoter is going through the bother of doing that, it's probably because the promoter actually will try to create fights for him in that division. Right now, we're seeing a few fighters going over there - on or two of whom were put there by their promoters.

    Rivas was a shorter HW who is kind of a high-risk/low-reward guy. Very dangerous puncher, not quite the size or all-around game to get to the very top.

    Balski and Babic are entertaining brawler types. Balski hit his ceiling in CW against Masternak and Babic got a scary chin check against the larger Spilmont.

    If Torrez Jr goes to Bridgerweight, it's because Arum will put him there and try to create useful fights for him there. Torrez Jr isn't ready to face guys like Balski, Babic, or Rivas yet - so he will stick around in HW for at least the early stages of his career.

    But the BW can't really grow organically in the short-term. It's going to have to more be a case of "I like fighter X and now hes a Bridger...so I guess I follow Bridger".

    I think with the hand speed he actually try’s to put to much into his punches sometimes.

    it seems to me he’s got few more wrinkles to his game though than dubios got better foot work can switch hit I’ve seen him pull off a few beautiful pull counters and he frames his punches well.

    both seem to get hit to much, question marks over Both chins, we’ve not seen Anderson in with a puncher yet.

    Anderson I think got bit more dog in him than dubios as well and seems the more natural boxer. Dubois the bigger puncher and naturally more heavy set guy though.

    Im going with Anderson at minute though but both still have a lot to prove and questions to answer.
