RBR Jared Anderson vs Ryan Mehry April 13th ESPN+

[brundlefly]

3-2. ajagba takes the lead. vianello looking a bit sloppy in there. a better fighter than ajagba woulda cleaned up.

 

[brundlefly]

4-2 ajagba. vianello no longer looks like a real threat. ajagba should press the action and try and force a stoppage.

 

[brundlefly]

5-2 ajagba. exhausted vianello just flailing now.

 

[Old Cat]

I’m surprised Guido is still standing

 

[brundlefly]

6-2 ajagba. vianello stared rd 8 like a lion, went out like a lamb.

 

[brundlefly]

I’m surprised Guido is still standing

I don't see ajagba sittin down on his punches.

 

[brundlefly]

vianello trying to rally, but not not effective with his punches.

 

[brundlefly]

7-3 ajagba in my book

 

[brundlefly]

ajagba doesn't look to be headed for greatness, though. he has improved his technique, but he lacks killer instinct. he's mechanical and lacks fluidity. doesn't seem to have a lot of ring intelligence either. should have been able to figure out he needed to alternate the southpaw stance instead of sticking with it so rigid like.

 

[brundlefly]

if it was king kong ortiz in there, ajagba gets ko'd.

 

[brundlefly]

this is a tough fight for anderson. if he beats merhy, it puts anderson in the conversation for an usyk fight.

 

[brundlefly]

merhy definitely has the skills to beat a top tier hw. dude is GOOD.

 

[Fluffernutter]

130 mph car chance.

Interesting

 

[brundlefly]

strong first round for anderson. looked like merhy was just feeling him out.

 

[Athenry04]

Mehry did nowt that round, just ate jabs.

 

[brundlefly]

anderson in control so far. but mehry still dangerous.

 

[Athenry04]

Mehry is gonna have to get more involved here, or he'll lose every round.

 

[Fluffernutter]

No, Tim, boxing does not need a timidly rule. Neither does the UFC.

If there was a rule for passivity in boxing, Ali's rope a dope would have gotten him DQed in Kinshasa

 

[brundlefly]

mehry showing signs of life in rd 3. 3-0 anderson.

 

[Athenry04]

More of the same, not sure what his gameplan is, as Anderson won't be gassing.
