I'm starting to think Ajagba would upset Kabayel and Parker.

    I think that if Bakole hadn't started slowly on Saturday he would have knocked out Ajagba. In my opinion the Nigerian fighter doesn't feel comfortable against boxers who press him and Kabayel's aggressiveness can cause him a lot of problems. In my opinion Kabayel would win against Ajagba, even inside the distance.

    No way is Ajagba beating any of those two.

    Styles make fights.

    Parker is too technical and will keep him from range all night. It would be a nightmare for him. Could see Ajagba taking some rounds but Parker by a wide UD. Their styles wouldn't make for an entertaining fight I don't think.

    We haven't seen Kabayel against anyone mobile (other than an injured Sanchez) but even then I don't see Ajagba faring well against a pressure style fighter - but there would be more openings for him.

    Outside of the Top 4 right now, he gives anyone else a decent night's work. Great to see him on the up.

    If Bakole hadn't taken the Parker fight and came into the Ajagba fight in peak condition he would've stopped him IMO.

    Kabayel beats the holy hell out of any version of Frank Sanchez.

    Until Ajagba gets an opportunity like Zhang who was practically a nobody until he got the call. I'm not buying the absolute ladder, he's top 10 and everyone besides Usyk can beat eachother. He's underrated and I suspect he will cause some upsets

    I will be holding my breath. He did not convincingly beat Guido Vianello. Not that good.

    He beat Bakole 7 rounds to 3 and got robbed. The full fight is up. Statistics favor Ajagba. He beats any version of Bakole with fair judges, he jabbed his face off

    He threw the fight away in the last 3 rounds. Draw or 96-94 Ajagba. Definitely not a robbery.

    He's improved a lot since the fight with Sanchez. He knows how to frame, moves better and is less predictable, but he barely beat Vianello in his previous fight and that's basically his level at the moment. Kabayel and Parker are a level or two above Ajagba and Bakole.

    Ajagba has just as much of an argument for those rounds as Bakole. Most on ringside and comments thought Ajagba got screwed. I'm not seeing any razor thin decision, he outboxed bakole for most of the fight.

    Most reasonable people had it 96-94 Ajagba or a draw. Wasn't a hard fight to score all tbh.
