Jared "Real Big Baby" Anderson commented on his victory by decision of the judges after ten rounds with "Prince" Charles Martin (29-4-1, 26 KOs) this Saturday in front of 7234 fans in his hometown of Toledo.

"That was great. My team was with me. My family was with me. Toledo was with me. They came and they were at my fight. They were with me all 10 rounds. I heard them throughout the entire fight. I am grateful to my opponent. He accepted the fight without hesitation. He came and performed very well. I think we put on a damn good show for Toledo,” Jared Anderson said after the fight.

“I wanted to go the full distance. It was my first time. I just wanted to make sure I could go the distance and be able to make it through all 10 rounds. He had strength left until the last round, and I was glad that I survived all the rounds. I think I hit him very well. I don't think there were moments in the fight when I looked insecure or when I couldn't control myself. Was there a feeling that he hit me with good blows and shocked me? No. But did I feel that he hit me with good punches and made me be more careful? Yes, so I had to regroup and return to the previous plan for the fight, ”added Anderson.

“I agreed to this fight 11 days before the date of its holding,” Charles Martin said in turn. - I did everything I could. He is a real champion. He will soon reach the top. I'm proud of him. He is really good. He is cunning. Usually when I catch someone and shock them, I can finish them off. If the opponent does not fall, I can usually catch up with him and knock him out. But he is like a small middleweight. He is cunning. He was able to get out even when it was stormy. He could maneuver and leave the line of my attacks. He will become a champion."
