Crawford/Madrimov this Sunday

[diehard]

Heavyweight contender Martin Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs) massacred highly touted Jared Anderson (17-1, 15 KOs), stopping him in the fifth round of a three-knockdown performance. Anderson was badly hurt from an uppercut in round one by Bakole. The 24-year-old Anderson was literally out on his feet and defensively to three follow-up power punches from Bakole that put him down. Anderson only made it out of the first round due to the knockdown coming in the final seconds. Bakole showed no respect for Anderson’s punches in rounds two, three, and four, walking through his shots to land heavy shots to the head. The punches from Bakole continually snapped Anderson’s head back. Anderson was bleeding from the mouth at the end of the fourth and looked in bad shape, walking back to his corner after taking a beating from Bakole.
