Jared Anderson vs Frank Sanchez - IBF Final Eliminator

I like this as an elimination ... where at least one of these two gets eliminated , while the winner theoretically gets a second look at if they perform well.

If other fighters were taking their openings or even risking fighting each other reasonably often ... these semi-credible rankings and eliminators coming out of them would be more clear cut with active winners of solid contests making their case emphatically. There's literally years passing between many ranked HWs fighting another ranked HW. It's like anything happening is better than nothing.

Whole division is kind of a mess at the moment anyway. The winner can call out Michael Hunter for a stay busy fight that will get cancelled.

 

This is a good fight for a good Card, I won't make any more predictions and I won't write off Anderson because Sanchez isn't particularly good either.

 

I'm fully aware.

I just can't believe that Wardley and Parker both put their positions on the line for a crack at Usyk, only for Usyk to be like "nah" and not fight the winner. Honestly, a **** move by Usyk. If he fights Belly again, I'm going to be actively rooting for Belly.

 

I think this will be a cagey and boring affair between two evenly matched fighters, its certainly one I'm not excited for, nor it should be a mandatory although better fighters have strangely ducked in Itauma, Dubois and so on.

They're better than journeymen level but they're mid-strong gatekeepers at best.

Either a one round decision to other or a draw.

 

The sanctioning bodies would have no merit if they didn't enforce their rules.

 

Anderson TKO

 

Both of these guys got fraud checked, but I think Anderson could pull it off. Frank being 50 years old with bad knees might make the difference.

 

Poor eliminator

I like Anderson though his career has flamed out

I think its better for boxing that Anderson wins and I think he has more in the tank

 

Yeah both these guys are packing glass. Don't know who wins, but whoever lands a good shot first gets the W is a good bet.

One thing's virtually guaranteed is another episode of Shattered Glass!!

 

Sanchez batters him for a decision.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if Sanchez beats him. Anderson doesn’t have the heart for boxing or the ability to learn and implement new techniques and strategies. Still pulling his head back in a straight line with his arms down.

 

They're both in camp with Jake Paul. Would be weird if they're fighting next

 

He even petitioned to keep the belt too because he was going to fight the winner next and just needed a little more time lol. He went out of his way to make sure Parker v Wardley wasn't for a non interim title lol. He filed the paperwork and everything.
