Jared Anderson Admits Improvements Are Needed After Lackluster Win

Jared Anderson knows he needs to improve after his lackluster win over Ryad Merhy on Saturday.

Anderson won a clear-cut decision, but it was not an exciting fight as many fans were booing during the fight, but Anderson knows he needs improve on making his opponents bring the action.

“Another day, another night in the office. I wanted to give the fans a better show but what can you do when they don’t wanna show up just to fight like you,” Anderson told ESPN post-fight. “Ten rounds – that’s the biggest takeaway. I gotta make some changes. I made some mistakes. I got hit with a few punches, but I shouldn’t have gotten hit at all. He didn’t even come to fight, so I shouldn’t have gotten hit at all.

“The fans, as much as I love them, they can’t take care of me if I get hurt, or I get brain damage or something. So my goal is to get hit the least, so that’s what I tried to do tonight. I tried to get hit the least and just win. It was an ugly night of boxing, man, but I got the W, so we move on,” added Anderson. 

Although it was a lackluster win, Jared Anderson did improve to 17-0 as a pro. Tyson Fury has hailed him as the future of boxing, and Anderson is hopeful he can get a big fight next time out.

“I want all of them. If I’m ranked with you and your name is near mine, we can get it cracking, man,” Anderson added. “We’re coming to knock everybody off. We’re coming for those titles and we’re coming to f****** win.”

Anderson holds notable wins over Andriy Rudenko and Charles Martin among others.
