    What makes you think Ajagba has a weak chin?

    Yeah I second this
    Not aware of any chin problems. He's easily a top 5 prospect.

    Look how out of balance he looks. He places his feet so wide that he makes himself more vunerbale to big punches. His style of not covering up when he engages might cost him knockdown or worse. Also, his legs are very thin and lacks strength to sustain strong body and head puches.

    Guinn riding his longest winning streak since 2010.... Hmmm. He's 44 years old but I doubt Fa will be able to put much of a dent in him. Labors to a boring UD win over the old iron chinned pro.

    Fun fact: My phone autocorrects Guinn to Guinness. :lol:

    No one has stayed undefeated long with style like that. I acknowledge his power and hand speed but still all I mentioned before and fact that he have problems with positioning makes him less of a threat to top heavies.

    What does that have to do with his chin though? You said he has a glass chin, what evidence is there of that?

    Having a wide legged and flat-footed stance is a technical choice that allows the fighter to generate more leverage on their punches and keeps guys with really long arms balanced at the cost of mobility. It’s a puncher’s stance- Wilder and Makhmudov both do it currently and if you look back Guys like Foreman and Archie Moore would do something similar as well. I think it suits Ajagba’s assets pretty well, no reason for a guy with that kind of power to not stand his ground. His defense is a little static right now, though he does keep a good guard, we’ll see how that improves. I don’t see anything indicating he’s glass-chinned right now though. Having large, powerful legs can be a sign of good lunch resistance, but it’s not the rule, same goes with opposite.
