Dont make me laugh!! He is plain and simple a brawler with no defence, anyone with any amount of boxing skill and a boxing brain could pick him off all night.
Ok Skel I'll bite. I still think he will prove to be a world class boxer. Last night he was lucky, I had him 3 points down going into the last three rounds and to be honest had resigned myself that it was not to be. However there were positives, his chin stood up well despite the knockdown and his stamina at the finish proved he can last the pace. He's not as far down the road as I thought but with some work on his defence I still think he'll go on to bigger and better things. Remember he is only 23 so he has plenty of time to work on his flaws.

At least we know he has good stamina, a good chin, is a good finisher, will 'tough' out a result when necessary and never gives up. I can think of worse foundations for a 23 year old.
Wallace i always respect your view and opinion on boxing topics, but like i said i saw it against the baldy guy last time out, i think he will struggle with anyone who has good technical skills, someone like Micheal Jennings i feel would beat him comfortably if they boxed him, he is 23 which is very yound he is probably 3/4 years away from being anywhere near the finished article, but when he beat the scottish bloke last time and quite a few people were saying he is going to be a world star, i just couldnt see it and defintly cant see it after in my opinion he was exposed against a guy who in my opinion was just if not even more ordianory than Anderson.
Thanks Skel, cc.

My main fear with Anderson is they've moved him too fast. Last night he looked miles away from mixing it at British Title level and I fear that the opponents at this level are going to be just too good at this stage in his career. I agree completely with your assessment of Young mutley, I was never very impressed with him and thought Jennings did enough in their fight to keep the title. Jennings would beat Anderson at the moment, again I agree with you, but it depends on what Anderson has learned from last night. It could be the making of him given time.

Did you see Craig Dickson (the baldy guy) lose on the undercard last night? Kind of put Anderson's last win in perspective and probably helped to overhype Anderson.

I hope that they give him a couple of easy(ish) defences, let him get his confidence back and get used to the level and then go after Jennings possibly in about a year. I think at that stage he would be ready and then he can start looking at European titles. All this does depend on him sorting his defense out though...
