    Bakole won some rounds yes,. but He clearly won more and was more impressive. He only ever lost a round due to Bakole hitting like a truck and him having to recover the odd time, but he handled this well really, adjusted each time.

    He won by far the majority of rounds, Bakole won the few where his size and power caused Efe to have to adapt more. But he always adapted and they where few and far between. AT most 3 rounds to Bakole imo

    I was only part watching it, like only watched about 30% of it if that but from what I saw Ajagba was outboxing Bakole but there was at least one round where he managed to trap Ajagba on the ropes and was beating him up.

    I thought Ajagba stood a fair chance of winning, especially after seeing how heavy Bakole was, but I thought he might catch him with something huge and knock him out not outbox him. Bakole's slow feet was his downfall and the weight can't have helped that but I'm not sure how much difference it would've made

    This should also apply to Miller and Fury.

    Bakole needs to shed some weight and learn to cut off the ring.

    Standing there demanding his opponent goes toe to toe doesn't cut it.

    Ajagba appeased him to some degree too.

    96-94 Ajagba for me but he wasn't very good and when into survival mode in the last few rounds.

    98-92 is bananas but whatever, I don't care enough to argue it much more than that.

    You can tell all the bum cares about is the paydays, and enjoying his food. He looks too happy when he loses/draws.

    I reckon he'll look like The Nutty Professor when he retires.

    I had Bakole won round 2, 4 and the last 3 rounds. Round 2 was close.

    No, it's whatever the entire RBR is saying.

    I said Ajagba would beat him, you argued otherwise, using looking average against Vianello as your excuse. So I countered by using Bakole looking average against Yoka. Which is why Ajagba would last the distance, and beat him. I was right, you were wrong.

    So why is he using the weight excuse then? If you call that entertainment , I can't argue against someone else's taste.

    What is his training doing about it? Billy posts on here and I just made a thread in the British section asking him to explain how he allows his fighter to fight in that state

    Yeah pretty straightforward tbh. It's either 96-94 Ajagba or a draw.
