Big Q covers the latest on Jared Anderson, arguably boxing’s most promising young heavyweight, went the distance for the first time in his career with a 10-round unanimous decision victory over former titleholder Charles Martin on Saturday in Toledo, Ohio.
The judges turned in scorecards that read 98-91, 99-90 and 99-90.
Anderson, a 23-year-old native of Toledo, was competing in his first ESPN main event in his toughest test yet. He accepted the Martin assignment on 12 days’ notice after original opponent Zhan Kossobutskiy was forced to withdraw with visa issues. And Anderson (15-0, 14 KOs) was forced to survive some rocky moments.
