British trainer Peter Fury spoke about the fight between Jared Anderson (17-1, 15 KO) and Martin Bakole (21-1, 16 KO):

I think Anderson is a great prospect. This is certainly true. And it was a dangerous fight for Martin. Anderson may fit the bill, but can he take a punch? We can say that he missed a beat yesterday and he couldn’t stand it. But this is unacceptable. I love what he said in the post-fight interview. He said he was only 24 years old and that was the whole point.

This was the wrong fight. It was too early for him. With the progress he’s made and the way he’s going, was it right to put him in this fight? Why not? However, in this game you cannot enter the water without getting wet. But that didn’t hurt him. Don’t worry about loss, it will come back again.

A famous promoter believes this fight is unfair.
