I dont get how people are calling it a 'fight of the year' credit to jones, he took one hel of a beating, but kept coming back for more until he finally capitulated at the end. But it was a one sided mauling for the most part. Gutsy performance of the year candidate from Jones, but fight of the year??? The result was never in doubt.
Not fight of the year but still good. The result was certainly in doubt at times for me, Jones' stubborness semed to trouble Anderson. A couple of times I thought Anderson was there for the taking.
I can see where you are coming from. Ando however isnt as fragile as you think. Ando fights at such a high tempo that he has to take breathers, & when he does his opponent gets a few good shots in & everyone thinks Ando is ready to drop... & Ando always comes back & closes the show. Its what he is, an exciting & aggressive fighter who gives the fans what they want, blood & guts action from the first to the last.
Was a really exciting fight. Although Anderson dominated throughout, Jones proved to be a more than worthy opponent - he really took some punishment and showed incredible heart. Been a good week for scottish fans - two successful title defences and leading the group in the footie!
Great fight and worth staying awake for. Jones is a tough guy while Anderson is really good, lets hope he gets a rematch for his old belt.
Hi guys, Im new to the sie but know recognise some of the names from elsewhere I though it was a great wee fight but Ando made it a tougher night than it needed to be but all credit to jones who camt to fight instead of just becoming a statistic on Ando's record. One think about Kev is he's rarely in a boring fight.
decent performance for ando...i keep forgetting he's still young and improving. where next? a rematch with nuumbembe to reclaim the commonwealth?
You have Scottish bias so you opinion becomes Invalid. But Ok, he was wobbled a few times by wild straights by Jones that didn't look powerful and he was wobbled by Ali. He wasn't that hard to hit and was lucky he was stronger than Jones and that Jones wasn't a puncher. His defence will be exposed at euro If he fights Bonsu for the Euro title. His stamina might be suspect too as he had to take alot of breathers after over throwing.
How can my opinion be invalid cause I'm scottishatsch Dont be silly, that means your point of view is not worth a damn when an englishman fights? Jones was in the condition of his life in there, he would have beaten a lot of good guys in that nick. Remember Anderson isnt the finished artcle yet, he can still improve for sure, watch this space
Enjoyed your pre-fight article about Anderson on britishboxing.net. After last nights performance do you think Anderson will now go on to win the Young Boxer of the Year Award decided by the British Boxing Writers Club?
No mines worth a time because I actually have criticisms for fighters I like. Good condition yes, but he was getting a one sided battering. If Anderson's going far then he shouldn't be that easy to hit. He'll probably stay at domestic level.
