Until Ajagba shows any kind of vulnerability (because to date he hasn't been tested) I think you have to go with him. He kind of reminds me of Teofilo Stevenson. Wooden, upright with a lot of power.
Efe Ajagba is way too raw at the moment and would get outboxed by Hunter. Also, Efe's height since turning pro is being listed as being 6'5", which is laughable. He's 6'3" at the most.
Ajagba. He has pedigree to go along with his physical attributes. Illunga caused Hunter a lot of issues on size alone.
I picked Hunter to beat Bakole but Ajagba is a tougher fight for Hunter. Ajagba moves better, has a higher guard and is a bit quicker than Bakole and so I think can keep Hunter on the outside more effectively than Bakola could with his slow feet. Though I still think it would be an awfully tough fight at this early stage for Ajagba. Right now Hunter takes it on points in a very close fight, Ajagba is still a bit too raw, still makes a few too many mistakes and hasn't shown any kind of inside game to counter Hunter when Hunter does get inside that huge reach. Ajagba does have the big punch though so wouldn't rule out a sudden KO during a competitive fight at this weight one big punch can change it all.
Ajagba is a way better boxer than Bakole, hits more accurate and is more athletic in general so i doubt he will gass out like Bakole did. I think Ajagba is the real deal and he will be a world champion in the future, maybe a fight vs Hunter would come to early right now but in 1-2 years i think he has a pretty good chance vs. everyone. Ajagba is a beast.
Ajagba Hunter doesn’t have the firepower to back Ajagba up and he doesn’t have the defence to to keep out of trouble. No doubt a Hunter will come out swinging and throwing lots of power shots but Ajagbas far greater reach and down the pipe 1-2 will soon put him in control. After that it’s just a matter of time until Efe lands something fight ending. I like Hunter and he’ll pose a new type of problem for Ajagba but it’s over in Rd 6 by KO
^^^This. Hunter can't punch and Ajagba can behind a reported 88 " reach. A smart fight for Ajagba, who had a bit of a suspect chin in the amateurs. How many rounds is this fight? The longer the better for Hunter.
Putting an Ajagba vs Hunter fight on the undercard of a MEGA event like Wilder-Fury gives both fighters massive international exposure. The victor would be catapulted into the spotlight of top HW's. The loser would still have time in their career to mount another attack for a belt and gain worldly experience that will only make them improve. Al Haymon make this happen. Ajagba by Ko within 4
Ajagba as way too much for him and pretty much anyone else, but he hasn’t figured out how to use it all yet. Right now I’d take Hunter by a very painful points decision, but there’s a solid chance he gets caught while up on the cards as well. Give Ajagba a year or two and he probably handles him. Hunter’s a good fighter though, I don’t think it would ever be a walk over.
