Anderson vs Jones on Friday

I Was Talking About Kev Mcintyre's chin. It was in response to Dunky saying Thompson better not be taking him lightly.

Jees.

 

Yeah I know you were talking about Kev McIntyre, but I was talking about the other guys on here that have been slagging Anderson off about having a fragile chin:good It should be a good fight with Thompson v McIntyre, McIntyre is a good boxer but doesnt handle punches that well, if he gets caught clean he will be taken out. But he got passed Doherty last time out, so should be an even match for me.

 

I said before the fight that Anderson needed to impress and he did to some extent. His hand speed was good and he was on the brink of stopping Jones on a number of occasions. Make no bones about it Anderson was a class above Jones and looked almost bored in the closing stages of the fight.

But I must admit his defence on occasions still looked a bit leaky and Bob Shannon mentioned after the fight that he was still moving in straight lines. He cannot keep relying on his superior fitness and decent chin.

Top Dog, to answer your question about Jennings, he is fighting again next month and I believe he is anything but finished.

A fight between him and Anderson would be intriguing as your man would need to get inside and I am not sure Jennings would allow him to do this. I think it would play out a bit like the Nuumbembe fight, and it would go down to whether the judges were impressed by Ando's aggression or Jenning's skills.

 

Ando has benefited so much form the move to manchester, I believe I said he would in a thread sometime ago. As a british welter can you get better day in day out sparring than Ali & David Barnes?

Mark doesnt have bad sparring either. Day in day out he has Khan and Jamie Moore. He was also employed to spar Witter in prep for the Harris fight.

Oh, as for Mcintyre and Doc...

Doc for me has been a huge dissapointment. He was a fantastic amateur but really has flagged in the pro game. He appears quite lazy, is often injured and hasnt lived up to my expectations in the pro game. Time is running out for Tony, hopefuly the defeat to Mcintyre will give him the kick up the backside he needs.

Thompsons performance against Vuma was one fo the best Ive seen by a british prospect in a while. Vuma would have been a good test for Jamie Moore* , Mark came in at 6 days notice fighting a guy in the weight division above and gave a good account of himself. There was over a stone difference when they got into the ring.

 

:rofl

I will admit I thought you were talking about Ando! I honestly couldnt believe you saying Ando had a dodgy chin, which of course you didnt.

So apologies for that one, my bad:deal

But I enjoyed my mistake, good comedy value I say

 

When I read it back I realised I'd just put "Kev" , and it did read like i'd switched back to talking about Anderson. It'd be a bit harsh (to say the elast) to say Anderson has a suspect chin!
