Anderson vs Jones on Friday

I just watched ten minute highlights of it. Looked like a good scrap. Jones looked real tough but Anderson was letting go with the more dynamic and effective work.

Anderson is proven domestic fighter - Commonwealth and British. He'll lose a fight every now and again. Depends who he fights at Euro but surely at some point he could take home the crown. True world class though? I don't see it.

 

I'm not comparing him to other British prospects, they are all pretty awful mate.

It not really stick as such. He just isn't that good. At the very best he could maybe get a lucky break and get the Euro-title. With fighters like Calzaghe around, what is the point -questionmark-



I told you the exact same with Barry Morrison, before he was schooled by Lynes.

I like Lynes, he cleary started working harder in the gym and bettered his abilites, unlike the rest, who are probably lazy or something.

 

hmm. I like it! A slightly darker side to you slowly surfaces in the face of friendly fire, am I finally working out the enigma that is China Hand Joe?

 

Ando has been in some cracking wars and he always gives value for money. He had a glittering ABA career too.

Fighters like Nuumbembe, Okine, Mutley, Magee are always gonna be tough fights and perhaps cause people to doubt his potential but I'd like to know of any other fighter (Hatton included) who could have taken those fights that early in their career and blew those guys away.

My only beef with Ando is sometimes the gaps between bouts is a little long but thats due to his promoter not keeping him as busy. If Warren was promoting him he'd have a 100% perfect record against a load of hand picked opponents but a majority of boxing fans would be believing the hype and calling him the next big star.

Anyone remember Hattons WBU circus when he was being regarded as a legitimate world champ? he was rarely in any fights where he had to dig deep and imo the carer Ando has had so far can only aid him in his quest for bigger things. He might not be a world beater yet but you can bet he would do better than most peeps think if he stepped up now.

I'd like to see him with a top trainer and start full time fighting rather than having to hold down a day job aswell.

ps. Dunky mate, cheers for the welcome

 

Welcome to ESB kerrminator! :hi:

Bob Shannon was widely credited as one of the reasons Anderson lost to Nuumbembe at the beginning of the year so some would say it was a shrewd move when they teamed up afterwards.

I think Shannon has done a good job of helping to resurrect Andersons career since then - the way he fought against Magee after losing the Commonwealth and this latest performace against Jones. Its early days but they seem to have developed an understanding already and he is a full time experienced trainer.

I don't know what would happen if there was a rematch with Nuumbembe for the Commonwealth Title though as Shannon wouldn't be able to train them both!

 

Yes Muttley was well beaten against Lynes, but he was totally weight drained, nothing like the fighter that was in against Anderson. Anderson would hammer Jennings I.M.O. Bring him on!

 

Awright Dunky, man, you get some real bell-ends on this site eh? Your right about Anderson not taking an easy route, he always said he wanted good fights from the start. You cant please some folk though, all I can say is watch this space!:thumbsup

 

i loved the fight.it was described as one-sided and i know what people mean but also it wasn't simply because jones just wouldn't yield and made it ultra competitive even though anderson was winning the rounds.i like anderson,love his fights how far he can go? who knows?i can see where people are coming from who say not much more than domestic level,but also i can see him as a fighter who can improve.some question his stamina yet one of the things i like about him is that he holds his form late in fights.so people having a stamina issue with him leaves me a bit baffled.i hope he goes all the way because he also seems like a nice respectful kid.

 

He's good domestic level but thats It.

Like Jeff says Jennings would outbox him.

Maybe If Mutt gets some Welter wins, he could get an Ando rematch and learn to finish Kev off this time.

The Euro champ has punching power to check Ando's suspect chin too.

 

People read too much into the Mutt fight imo. Kev was getting back into the fight and was catching up on the cards too.

Mutley was absolutely knackered by the 10th and didnt pace himself for a 12 rounder, thats probably why he looked so good early in the fight....he was using all his fuel reserves up too quickly and ultimately paid the price for it. Mut couldnt finish Ando off in their first encounter and Kev was pretty hurt so I doubt if he could do it in a rematch either. (not forgetting that a rematch would be in Kev's hometown with a better selection of officials.

Thanks for the welcome Elle

 

Suspect chin, you've been on the winegums again, havent you:dead :dead :blood

 

bring on anderson-jennings anyday.

the title would be coming back home. :yep

i've nothing against scottish fighters.

but no way is that guy anymore than a solid british champion. :roll:

 

tbf i don't think his chin is suspect.

he's gutted it out a few times when hurt.

it's not too hard to get him going though is it. :yep

 

Fine post my man, the ando haters have got selective ****in memories, thats for sure. & as for the warm welcome? nae bother as they say in bonnie Scotland Its always a pleasure to see another scotsman on ESB.

 

Glad to hear it HH1. Please do me a favour though h& PM me with a link when you have something positive to say about a scottish fighter, cos I dont want to miss it! I have been waiting so long you see
