Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Looks like Anderson 16-0 managed his way thru his court date and recent charges to keep the fight date v 32-2 (26) Ryad Merhy out of Belgium. Do not know much of Merhy but until last year he was competing at cruiserweight claiming a wba trinket in 2021. Should be a decent fight for Anderson.
Efe Ajagba on the rebound continues forward and should be fine facing fellow behemoth Guido Vianello. Wouldn't be shocked to see Ajagba in a much bigger mix soon. Or the commonsense build with he and Jared Anderson having an in-house Top rank match up! Then again, commonsense and boxing tend to differ :-X. Abdullah Mason vs Ronal Ron also and somewhere on the card Robson Conceicao returns after a disputed draw with 130 champ Navarette last November.

Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN

Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
One of those mutli screen nights. Neighbor has ufc 300 on the massive screen in the driveway. Neighbor to the left apparently has WW3 coverage blaring in the kitchen :p.
Feathers Jalan Walker vs Alejandro Guerrero in the 3rd now. Just in time, young undefeated Walker takes his first loss via tko! Pork Chop Guerrero gets his first win in 3 years.

Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Abdullah Mason on fire in the 1st vs Ronal Ron. Scores early knockdown off rifled left hand. Wouldn't go far if I was the ref, Ron looks pretty weary and on edge but makes the bell.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Uppercut counters from Mason. Very poised rocking back n forth setting up counters. Ron a bit more sturdy taking those.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Ron able to get in closer on Mason trying to punch with Mason in 3rd. Having fairly decent round...and gets clipped for knockdown with double left to body from Mason at 10 second mark. Makes it up.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
All out two fisted barrage from Mason early 4th on a tough Ron. Ron soaking it all up but bending at body backing and cannot get his own in. Ref sees enough and waves it off.

Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Cristian Cruz Chacon vs Ruben Villa into the 5th round for a vacant wbc feather silver belt right now. Best I can tell Chacon is nowhere in the top 15 and over a span of 29 fights has only had three scheduled 10 rounders. But hey wbc :-X.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Decent 5th for Cruz. 4-1 Villa
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Villa upped the work rate, rattles Cruz in 7th with left hook. Cruz is the type of guy that it's hard to read his feet/movement. Guy has two left feet but keeps balance. 6-1 Villa but been in and out for some.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Wait this is for a belt ??? and it's 10 rounds. Ok. Busy but pedestrian no frills type fight. 98-92 Villa. Villa I suppose marches into the number one spot?
Villa wins unanimous. Not sure what he can do with Nick Ball.

Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Robson Conceicão with the 7th round tko over Jose Guardado. Looked very sharp. Ajagba v Guido Vianello on deck.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Guido actually pressing for the right hands in 1st. Active and Ajagba thinking a bit getting clipped.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
efe looked like he was out at the bell
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Two tangling up in 2nd. Nice right by Ajagba at the minute mark and getting it going. Nice body shot by Ajagba and gets tagged bad! Ajagba reeled on ropes and drops hands. Guido gets some of that round back
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
When someone falls, safe to say it will be off a right hand :-X. No warming up in this one and two heavies letting it fly.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Honestly did not think Guido would sponge these right hands but they catch up. Ajagba a bit swollen. Better control in 3rd for Ajagba but both took turns.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Oh Ajagba left upper to Guido but Guido got away from most of it. Ajagba def the harder jab and working well late 4th. Not much offense this round Guido. Right uppercut snaps Guidos head! Best round Efe

Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
i've got efe ahead by one point after five rounds
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Ajagba in love with that inside uppercut. Starting to actually look the stronger in movement and impactive shots. Hell just froze over...Ajagba moves his head well and slips about 5 of 6 shots :-X. He'd be wise not to get froggy and cute, Guido still plugging.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Guido having some success mid and late 6th but eating the hard jab for his troubles. Much closer round small edge Ajagba.

-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Territory where you start wondering about power of Guido and/or the sturdiness of Ajagba chin. Then again, both have taken everything and many clean shots. Good round both but think Guido took 7th
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
i have efe ahead by two points after eight rounds
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Have lost count tbh but starting to wish this was 12 ;D. Slower Ajagba jab mid 8th who switched southpaw. Not sure southpaw is the brightest move for Ajagba but he's showing adjustment and gears here.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Oh nice 4,5 punch combo inside from Ajagba early 9th!
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Substance on the shots and controlling the real estate gives Ajagba 9th. I think Guido needs a ko but the man surprised me.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Tough scrap and both did themselves well. Guido 10th. Can easily see a draw but think Ajagba edged it maybe by 2. Anything WIDE is an impaired judge. Or Tim Cheat'um snuck in :-X
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
efe gets a split decision
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Scores in 96-94 Guido...96-94 Ajagba...96-94 Ajagba for the W.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Wait this dude is only 5'9 ;D
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Jared picking and stabbing 1st. Merhy just watched.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
More watching and waiting Merhy. Literally waiting. Anderson 3-0, needs to start breaking some windows by the 5th.
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
All Jared just poking and prodding over 5. Merhy is doing fook all and waiting on a bomb just to fall into his lap. Boo's a plenty from the crowd last few rounds. Entering hold the guys purse territory and surprised ref hasn't said a thing. Anything. Mills Lane style "come on now mix it up in there"
-
Re: Jared Anderson vs Ryad Merhy April 13th ESPN
Just an ugly spar here. Probably one of the biggest non efforts by an opponent in recent memory and he's getting away with it. Not throwing a damn thing.
