Unbeaten heavyweight Jared “Real Big Baby” Anderson (17-0, 16 KOs) will step up against Martin Bakole (21-1, 15 KOs) on the stacked August 3 Crawford-Madrimov event in Los Angeles. Anderson is rated WBA #4, WBC #5, IBF #5, WBA #13. Bakole is rated WBA #1, WBC #10, WBO #11, IBF #14.
Interestingly, the card also features Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller against Andy Ruiz, so both big babies will see action in the ring and certainly will have things to say to each other at the press events.
Jared Anderson will just jab & move away on Bakole the whole night – he has a great jab & geat stamina. Ruiz Vs Big Baby will be a war. Andy “Buster Douglass” Ruiz huge waste of talent. Big Baby & Ruiz have great chins so this will be a war
“….on the stacked August 13 Crawford-Madrimov event in Los Angeles.”

Decent fights in this category. I like what I am seeing. Sounds like a pizza and wing night.
Don’t forget some beer, Scooby! If not, splurge on some soda!
Boxing night is Blue Moon night for me. Add a slice of orange to it, too.
For the fights: Crawford wins by tko in round 10-11.
Bakole defeats Anderson by slim split decision.
Ruiz vs Miller will look like the dance of the water buffalos. Ruiz’s power will be the determining factor. Ruiz by tko 9.
Not bad, but my preference is a good IPA. I’m waiting to put out my picks. I’ve been off a lot lately, Tex.
I don’t think you guys have seen Andy Ruiz lately. Dude is in shape and he’s going to absolutely DESTROY that SLOB Miller. It will be a very easy fight for Ruiz and I’m willing to bet he gets a stoppage.
Hope you are right about Andy Ruiz. Amazing boxing skills and stamina trapped in a Butter bean type physique…
That sounds about right. Hot and well done wings paired with a nice Sicilian pizza.
Hunter proved that Bakolie has problems with fast attacking guys, add his poor stamina to that. I can see Miller stopping him late. A good card.
Could be a night where both “Big Baby’s” start crying !
A good test for Anderson.
I hope Bakole gets in better shape than he has been lately. If so, he can be a good test for Anderson.
This is definitely a good test for the soon to be locked up big baby.
This fight will show Anderson and us where he really is in the boxing landscape, Bakole will be Anderson’s largest and hardest punching opponent he has faced to this point in his career, Bakole’s only loss was a 10th rd. injury stoppage to Mike Hunter in a close fight, this is a huge fight for Anderson knowing that the no. 1 prospect Sanchez got stopped recently, i feel it has to be the best performance of his life, i’m back and forth on this one.
If Bakole comes into the fight in shape (will he actually ever get serious and get in shape again?) he takes Anderson apart and exposes him.
WBA has Bakole ranked #1 and Anderson ranked #4. lol. Both guys are good fighters, but top 5? Total joke.
Interesting potential matchups being organized here. As a gimmicky fight, I’d like to see Anderson and Miller face each other. Perhaps Mauricio Sulaiman, son of Jose Sulaimán, can whip up a sapphire Baby edition of the We Be Crooks belt. However, I’m not sure that Miller gets past Ruiz. These are heavyweights past their peaks, so anything can happen.
Anderson has to perform here or it’s mid card action with very careful matchmaking from here on end. I still say he need to go to Kronk for a year or 2. He has the right build for their philosophy. Bakole, ranked #1 in the WBA GOD knows how, is not “supposed” to present much of an issue, but again, we don’t know which Anderson will show up.
