    I agree with you, saw that fight you spoke of and he was getting hit pretty easily with nothing fancy. Don't get me wrong , I think he's a fine prospect, but he's definitely in the development stage at this point and as you said he's stiff and needs to learn defense. Personally I think Dubois may be a tad more developed at this point but time and opponents will tell the truth , just too early as of now to make any claims.

    his jab is too slow, he has bad reflexes and he gets hit too easily. only good thing is that he hits decently hard and can take punishment no problem. him and wilder would be an interesting fight.

    Remember the last Nigerian /Texan Ike The President Ibeabuchi ?? Efe reminds me a lot of him early on in his career. What Efe needs is Curtis Cokes as a trainer. Curtis took Ike from a crude brawler, when he arrived in Dallas, to the complete boxer puncher who out boxed David Tua & destroyed Chris Byrd. Ike listened to Curtis. I hope Efe doesnt ever make the mistake of calling a lying Vegas hooker.
    She destroyed his career something , once Lennox Lewis had retired, no heavyweight on the horizen could have done

    I was thoroughly unimpressed with him on Saturday. Slow and stiff and predictable.

    Got whapped up by someone who looked 55 years old on the promo pic jaysus why did they use that unflattering pic?

    Other guy was much smoother and overall much better.

    Ajagba needs to fire his manager immediately. Matchmaking mistake for sure...
