    Good fight, and while I am not sure it should be for a mandatory position, it will be good to see some new blood challenging for a belt.

    This is a really good fight, Ajagba could surprise and win, but Bakole has a better chance...

    Ajagba can get the upset his glass chin is the only concern, he is more dynamic than Bakole with more workrate, but i expect Bakole to manhandle and smash his chin late

    Poor Ajagba, he had a nice run recently but this fight is too much for him.

    I think it will be Anderson all over again.

    I'm not fully sold yet on Bakole at the highest level, but I want to see some more Foreman type beatdowns

    Ajagba is nothing special but bakole isn’t either he’s a perfect example of beat a hype job become a hype job everyone has short memories this guy lost to Michael hunter, ajagba can beat him, I think this fight will be determined by whoever lands big one first 50/50 fight in my opinion

    It seems to be a pretty vague announcement. Somewhere in USA, sometime in May.

    Regardless when or where, the Congolese Warrior is going to put on a show that will silence all the doubters. I pity Ajagba.

    Bakole should banish Ajagba back to the nether..........................I don't understand why Ajagba has been forced down our throats, nothing about him is really elite, hell even really good. I think Bakole is at the very least a credible top 10 guy, Ajagba definitely isn't.

    Bakole runs through Ajagba within 4 rounds.

    Why May? How long a camp do these boys need?

    The Saudi schedule is to blame here. They have less than 10 cards planned this year, so some guys will have to do a fair bit of waiting.

    Me neither,,I believe Bakole is hittable for Ajagba so an Ajagba win wouldn't be too much of a surprise
