Anderson needs to win impressively to re-establish himself as a name to watch in the division. Winning isn't enough at this stage of his career. He should use Junior Witter as an example.
Thats a bit harsh, as Ando is always involved in exciting fights. Hes wiped out the Nuumbembe robbery by beating Magee, & if he can get past Jones, then its time Gilmour delivered a title fight, european at least. Its time for Tommy to deliver for Ando.
Yes he's always involved in exciting fights, but he needs to prove that he is well above this domestic level so he can pursue bigger fights in the future. I get the feeling that Gilmour isn't sure that Anderson ca step up to the next level so he is millking him for all he's worth. A good stoppaage win will send out a message to Gilmour that he is ready for bigger and better things. It will also be interesting to see whether Anderson can go through a fight without taking his foot off the gas.
Will be watching this fight tonight on Sky. I favour Anderson to win although Jones has won his last few fights comfortably - don't think hes ever gone 12 rounds though. As Anderson has been trained by Bob Shannon for this fight (who also trains Andy Morris) he will be hoping for a better result than last Friday.
anderson is a good solid domestic level fighter. no more and no less. he was unlucky against nuumbembe. but u could turn the tables on that and say he was a bit lucky against mutley. i still think the ref jumped it a bit on that stoppage. :roll:
Anderson's got a suspect chin. Has certain similarities to Hatton. Only similarities though are being strong, body punching and pressure but his stamina Isn't as good and his chin Is suspect.
:think Ok Max, give me your pearl of wisdom, how do you reckon Anderson has a suspect chin?? Please explain cause I would love to hear it. The guy has had about 160 fights amateur and pro and he's been on the floor once and had never been stopped, so unless you know something I dont, your obviously talking cack.
