Heavyweight Jared Anderson will probably be preventing Marios Kollias on the Keyshawn Davis vs. Denys Berinchyk undercard on February 14th on the Hula Theater at Madison Sq. Backyard in New York.
Lance Pugmore @pugboxing broke the information of ‘Massive Child’ Anderson preventing Kollias on the Keyshawn-Berinchyk undercard. It’s a comparatively secure combat for Anderson, 25, however not solely as a result of he’s been harm greater than as soon as in his profession by lower-level opposition.
A Should-Win For Anderson
This isn’t an important opponent for Jared Anderson, however he seemed so unhealthy within the final combat that he doesn’t look prepared for world-class opposition. I don’t know if he’ll ever be, however that’s High Rank’s drawback. At this level, Jared is what you think about a challenge and a shaky one.
This would be the first combat for Anderson (17-1, 15 KOs) since he was knocked out within the fifth spherical by Martin Bakole on August third on the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
It’s not shocking that High Rank has chosen an unknown fighter, matching Jared in opposition to the 33-year-old native Greek Kollias (12-3-1, 10 KOs). The best way Anderson obtained blown out by Bakole in a three-knockdown loss can be an insane transfer to place him in in opposition to a contender. Anderson was dropped within the first spherical and twice extra within the fifth by Bakole.
Jared fought properly in rounds two via 4, and he seemed like he was in management up till Bakole harm him once more within the fifth.
Ought to High Rank Dump Jared If He Loses?
If Anderson loses this combat, High Rank might have to think about slicing him free. They have been banking on Jared turning into their subsequent star at heavyweight, however the worrisome indicators have been there early on when he was staggered by journeyman Jerry Forrest after which harm once more by former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin.
Kollias is coming off a first-round knockout win over journeyman Tamaz Izoria on November sixteenth. Earlier than that, he was crushed by Kem Ljungquist by a 10-round majority choice on March ninth final yr.
In the principle occasion, 2020 Olympic silver medalist Keyshawn Davis (12-0, 8 KOs) will problem WBO light-weight champion Berinchyk (19-0, 9 KOs). High Rank is pushing Keyshawn, 25, quick along with his profession, matching him in opposition to Berinchyk in his fourth yr as a professional.
It could possibly be a mistake on High Rank’s half to maneuver Davis so rapidly as a result of he has not fought anybody in addition to the 2012 Olympian Berinchyk and was staggered in his combat in opposition to Nahir Albright.
Keyshawn has proven little interest in preventing Cuban Andy Cruz, who beat him 4 instances within the amateurs and owned him. He’s nonetheless possible haunted by these defeats and desires to remain far-off from his conqueror.
Davis will probably be superb so long as High Rank protects him from good opposition, but when they match him in opposition to somebody with expertise, he’ll possible crumble once more.
