Hard category candidate Jared Anderson (17-1, 15 Kos) in 15 days against Marios Kollias (12-3-1, 19 Kos) in 10-rounds on February 14 on Denys Berinchyk Vs. Keyshawn Davis on Madison Square Garcia in New York. The event will be shown live on ESPN and ESPN+.
Martin Bakola has spoiled big top rank plans for 25-year-old Anderson, destroying it in five rounds last summer on the Turki al-Sheikh 3rd at the August 3 at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
Caring for a beard
Top rank was refined Jared with the same making of matches they made for Edgar Berlang and Keyshawn, hitting him against soft opponents to build him as a a dwarf star. It is not a real star, but a smaller one that must be protected from the legal. Bakole temporarily destroyed things with his knockout.
Despite falling three times, Anderson didn't look fun bad. It's fun to watch, and you can say that he has skills to be a world champion. Beard, however. It is a limiting factor.
Anderson landed well when he didn't put him in dirt and looked like a better fighter than Bakole. If his beard had risen, he might have won the decision. Unfortunately, he could not bear the power of Bakole and was demolished in the heel, descending twice before the judge waved him.
Anderson is ranked #9 WBO and #15 IBF. If he can focus on his defense, he might be able to do something with his career, but can protect his fragile beard. One cannot hit anything, which will not change. A fighter with a weak beard in 25 will not be better as they get old.
Kollias test
Top Rank tries to rebuild Toledo, a native of Ohija Anderson, aligning him with a slightly famous Greek family Kollias. It is unclear how many fights for the renovation of Top Rank will put a yoke before deciding whether to keep it or reduce it. Don't look good for him. If it looks terrible against Kollias, I would be surprised if Anderson is still with the highest rank annually.
Before Anderson lost to Martin Bakole, the warning signs were already there. He was injured in his fight against Charles Martin and Jerry Forrest. Both heavy weights possessed power, but it was a bad sign that Jared fought on this level at the beginning of his career.
Anderson did not have a huge amateur career to gain experience before he turned to the professional in 2019. As an amateur, Jared was 21-5, which is not a record indicating the future champion.
On February 14, the Junior Candidate for Middle Weight Xander Zayas will face Slaw mention on the same card. Zayas is another fighter for which Top Rank hopes for big things. However, it cannot be hit and is hurt in the fight against little opposition, so he will have problems in this career.
