    It's time for Ajose to deliver.

    Maybe because of Olu there a lot of people waiting to see if he over-hyped and under-matched or the real deal...

    However, because he couldn't draw a crowd if he was fighting in his living room, he will struggle to get any meaningful fights.

    Never seen (and if I'm being honest, heard of) Ion before a quick check on boxrec so I have no views on the outcome.

    But Olusegan v Wright was a bad bad fight. Only thing that kept my interest that night was the local lads on the cards.

    I wont be looking out for Ajose's fights any time soon.

    Still don't rate Ajose that highly, I feel McCloskey would beat him. Wasn't overly impressed with Alexander there so maybe Ajose has a chance, will probably be in the States if it does happen so Ajose will have to perform well as he isn't going to stop Devon (doesn't seem a hard puncher at all Ajose, solid but unspectacular)


    I think McLoskey will get a shot against Khan if he beats M'Baye. He's a decent enough operator who like Ajose is getting on and would give Khan a chance to win the Euro something he hasn't got and will not be a massive risk for him.

    Ajose is a genuine world class talent. I can not wait to see him crowned world champion.

    Don't think so, 140 is pretty much the most stacked division out there. I don't see him even beating Khan to be honest.

    How the hell are these 2 guys getting a world title eliminator? For apparently the most 'prestigous' belt/organisation aswell. Alexander would batter Olusegun anyway, I don't rate him at all.

    Direct info no.

    BUT what can I tell you:

    Everytime Jojo fights at home there is plenty of hype,from when he comes home(about 10-12 days before the fight) till fight time there is hype and tv time allocated for the fight everyday.
    We get open workouts on tv,press conferences,weigh-in,etc and the undercard is talked about a lot.
    This time though he is not in Romania at this time,NOTHING on tv,no undercard talk or anything on boxrec,no hype,no tv date or commercials like usual,no nothing.
    ALL of Jojo's fights in Romania and most of his from Canada were on tv here against lesser fighters in lesser fights.It's only normal this should be too especially in the country.
    I'm CERTAIN it's off for whatver reason.
