Short stocky Merhy (32-3, 26 KOs) showed little interest in engaging, gloves cupped around his face, throwing only 144 punches over the course of the entire fight. Anderson (17-0, 15 KOs) maintained an active pace for a big man, landing 128 of 662 punches, including 49 power shots. He also used a long accurate raking jab. \u00a0One way traffic.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
