high risk no reward. he looks like a clumbsy giant. he has something wrong with him he always blinks and moves his head awkward. he is really powerful but he has trouble vs shorter guys it seems. he needs to fight someone in the top 25 for us to see what he could do.
Say what you like ... but when he fights a top 15 HW after serious preparation for it ... it's going to be interesting.
I don't recall anyone ever saying that Yoka 'was supposed to blow everybody away.' The main narrative seemed to be 'he's gonna get exposed any moment,' and he duly was. Not to discredit Takam. He's a warrior, but let's not pretend Yoka was ever regarded as some kind of bogeyman!
You sound just like all of those naive Spence fanboys pre-Crawford mangling. It's easy to look like a million bucks when carefully matched against made to order guys who play to your strengths while avoiding stylistic nightmares. It's another thing entirely facing someone who doesn't and is. I really like Ajagba, it's a decent win for Sanchez, but face facts, he wasn't seasoned and had never faced anyone even remotely slick. The fact that Shaw went the distance with him, while getting obliterated by Goodall in his next outing, is truly a testament to how limited and rudimentary that aspect of Efe's game truly is. Makhmudov on the other hand, has no issue walking down slick featherfisted fighters and battering them into submission. Sure, he struggled with Takam, but Takam isn't a slickster now is he? He's a small compact pressure fighter. So the comparison is irrelevant.
Makhmudov gets his head boxed off. Makhmudov is crude as Diesel fuel. Keep downplaying Sanchez and only watch as he proves you wrong
