I know it makes no sense for either of them at this point - but just for fun, if they fought each other as their next bouts, who wins this one? Both BIG dudes who can punch. Joyce more experienced but easily hittable. Ajagbe raw but explosive... I pose this question cos I can’t come up with an opinion either way...
And therein lies the fun! It’s not gonna happen, but if it did it would certainly be difficult to puck at this point
What I like is there are a bunch of up and coming heavyweight who come to fight. Now it's 50.50, in a year, I'd go with the developing Ajagbe who has one punch power to end a fight. Ajagbe is a little stiff. Not sure how good his defense is, or if he takes a good punch.
Anyone picking Ajagba based on Joyces defense ,I guess don't realize Ajagba is easier and more static to hit ? lol Joyce is to much at least at this point,we'll see how Ajagba looks tonight though. Not that it will really change my own view here. Joyce is also jumping around ALOT with trainers which could be good or bad ? At this point you CANNOT make Ajagaba the favorite if you are really watching both fight and what both do best.
Ajagba looks like he has potential and there's more to come. Joyce has peaked imo, so maybe Joyce right now, 2 yrs from now Ajagba.
Ajagba was exposed a little in his last fight. Everyone knows he got a cannon of a right hand, but he doesn't deal with pressure, isn't used to defense has not shown much defense ( Blocking, ducking or clinching ) , and is a tad stiff. If I was his manager, I'd keep him busy on a medium level type of track for another year and not face any puncher's for now.
I'd go with Joyce. He fought a lot of great competition as an amateur. I really like him as a pro. Ajagbe has sort of taken the same path as Duncan Dokiwari. So I'm not quite sold on him. We'll see.
I really like Ajagba, but this is too soon for him, Joyce by mid-round TKO. A year from now, it could be a coin flip.
Joyce would get to him easily, pressure him and break him down. Ajagba is too green at the moment, sure he looks great when he as a human punching bag in front of him where he can just do what he likes but so far he hasn't shown he can move well, he just stands there, not good vs the oncoming freight train that is Joyce, he has no head movement so again if he can't control range he's going to get hit and hit a lot.
