#martinbakole #boxing #jaredanderson @ElTerribleProduction Martin Bakole scored a devastating fifth-round knockout victory over Jared Anderson on Saturday at BMO Stadium to end his run as America's top heavyweight hope. It was clear in the opening round that Anderson, who closed as a -210 favorite on ESPN BET, was in for a difficult night. A textbook right uppercut from Bakole (21-1, 16 KOs) put the American heavyweight down for the first time in his career. Anderson (17-1, 15 KOs) fought back valiantly in Round 3, deploying his jab from both stances as he sought to stave off Bakole, a 6-foot-6, 284-pounder from Congo by way of Scotland. Anderson's low left hand invited Bakole to deliver clubbing right hands that met the mark. By the fifth round, the closing sequence had begun: Bakole hammered Anderson with a left uppercut, followed by a straight right that sent him crashing to the mat with his hand dangling from the apron.
