    That brought back memories of Ike Ibeabuchi. Curtis said when we were all saying he was the real thing, "Wait till he gets hit then we'll see" Well Efe got caught & decked sat night
    Ike just shrugged his shoulders & carried on. Efe needs to tighten up on defence & his balance doesnt look too steady. Dont give up on him yet but he's got a long way to go to reach Ike's level

    Save for the fact that both are Nigerian, WTF does Ajagba have in common with Ibeabuchi?

    He doesn't impress me at all. He has power, but he's an accident waiting to happen.

    LOL @ Ibeabuchi. Ike would have wiped his ass with Adjagba.

    Yeah he's a tad overrated at this stage. He's a bit stiff and slow for me.

    The President had a cast-iron chin, so we already know he is not in Ike's league.

    Meh. None of these guys coming up are perfect, so it is hardly a disaster. But he id definitely in the B-squad now.

    Who overrates him? People hype him because he is a promising prospect. This is why he is getting attention.

    Yes and I don't think he's as good as people are hyping him up to be, hence why I feel he is overrated. Time will tell I guess but I don't think he's as good as the hype.

    Slow, robotic, clumsy but powerful.

    He’s getting his arse handed to him when the level of opposition improves.

    It's actually mesmerizing to watch how his head never moves no matter if his feet are moving or he's throwing a punch or not. That must be very difficult to do so I give him props for it.

    Ike has also way more versatile offense and better defense.

    Ike was a lot more fluid than Ajagba is.

    Ajagba is very stiff looking and isnt a fast mover. It remains to be seen how far he can go, as he is just now starting to step up in class.

    Ike could fight both on the inside and outside. It was a shame he was complete mental case, and spent his best years in prison for kidknapping a hooker. We will never ever know how far Ike could have gone.
