    I kinda feel like Ajagba got robbed. Had it 97-93. The most you can give Bakole is 4 rounds. How did you score it?

    Had it for Ajagba, Bakole looked like the glorified sparring partner that he is. His physical condition shows a real lack of ambition and professionalism.

    Ajagba took the win, Bakole looks like he doesn't want to get in shape and after losing to Parker, he just wants money...

    He was 35 pounds overweight against Parker and 20 pounds overweight here

    Dude has thrown away his shot with laziness and poor management.

    Bakole is a formidable fighter when he's on it...but it's not often. He's far too lax.

    I haven't watched this fight yet, is it any good and worth watching more than the highlights?

    It sounds like it was a relatively low output affair, with Ajagba staying safe and Bakole not being able to deal with that.

    Most of the time Ajagba was keeping Bakole at bay with his jab. There were some moments where Bakole was putting on effective pressure, especially in round 4 and 8 & 9 but that's about it.

    Ajagba win more rounds.
    He land 45 punches more than Bakole and:
    1. Land more jab in 7 rounds
    2. Land more power punch in in 7 rounds
    3. Land more punch overall in 7 from 10 rounds.
    He steal more rounds than Martin and Bakole should have now 2 defeats in row. He got lucky they see this as draw what looks much better in record.

    Had it the same as you, seven rounds to three. Definite robbery. I've always liked Ajagba and thought he'd outbox Bakole, who just hasn't earned all the hype he gets. Surprised Bakole stayed up tho, he's got a lot of heart. Maybe a rematch?

    Had Ajagba winning 96-94. The rounds weren’t difficult to score either and from what I’ve seen most had it either 96-94 Ajagba or a draw. 98-92 is crazy to me.

    Worst I can find for Ajagba is a draw, but a draw is OK.

    6-4 Ajaba. 5-5 at ringside probably made sense.
