Anderson Vs. Rudenko – Tonight’s Live Results From Tulsa – SolSportHQ
[ad_1]
By Mark Eisner: U.S. heavyweight prospect/contender Jared Anderson (15-0, 14 KOs) is looking to put in a good performance against the capable Andriy Rudenko (35-6, 21 KOs) in tonight’s Top Rank-promoted event at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, live on ESPN+. Anderson, 23, has pressure on him to shine after his last outing against Charles Martin a month ago.
SolSportHQ will give live updates & results below of tonight’s Anderson vs. Rudenko card.
The fight that could steal the show from the Anderson-Rudenko main event is the co-feature bout between heavyweight slugger Efe Ajagba (17-1, 13 KOs) and Zhan Kossobutskiy (19-0, 18 KOs).
The 6’7″ Ajagba has the kind of power in his hand to knock out anybody in the division, but he’s also vulnerable in the chin department. Ajagba lost to Frank Sanchez a couple of years ago, and he’s looked like a shell ever since.

Bakhodir Jalolov vs. Onoriode Ehwarieme
Interstingly, Top Rank won’t be including their recent signee, 2020 Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist Bakhodir Jalolov, in his eight round fight against Onoriode Ehwarieme as part of the ESPN broadcast.
The unbeaten 12-0 Jalolov’s fight will be shown live on YouTube at 6:15 p.m. ET. He’s a far better fighter than Jared Anderson, in this writer’s opinion, but he’s not from the U.S. and, thus far, isn’t being given the same red-carpet treatment.
“Jared is coming off a former world champion, Charles Martin, and it was a tough fight,” said Chris Algieri to ProBox TV about Jared Anderson.
“There were a lot of people in the media who were giving him flak about that, which I don’t understand because Charles Martin was a very stiff test, and I think Jared passed it with flying colors.”
For the record, Anderson was staggered twice by Martin and was out on his feet in the tenth. The fight revealed the following flaws in Jared Andersons’s game:
- Gives up real estate too easily
- Shaky punch resistance
- Bad pull-back habit
- Timid at times
- Holds a lot
- Lack of concentration
“Sure, he got rocked [x 2], had a tough fight, and went the distance, but he won’t blow everyone out. Charles Martin was a huge, huge step up. Like I said, a guy that can punch, a former world champion, and he’s also a southpaw. So, I’m not really sure that he’s [Andeerson’s earning the flak that he got for that win,” said Algieri.
