    Slow, plodding, stiff, easy to hit and puts no leverage with his body into his punches. Already 24 and only 10 fights against cans. He needs to up his level of comp but I think his people know he's a limited fighter. Inflate his record and try to get a pay day.

    I am guessing you are one of the ones that jumped off the AJ hype train and called him a fraud?

    Demirezan is a C level fighter at his best so while I agree her is good he'll never be a world class guy. Thats the type of guy Ajagba should ko if hes an elite level prospect. Clearly he is not.

    Some people are crazy with the stuff they say. I only saw the last 4 rounds but I thought he did some good stuff in there. Yes he's a bit stiff and on the slowish side but I thought he placed his shots well through and around Demirezen's guard and closed the fight out well. Ajagba has a lot of potential.

    He'll be going the Wilder route of at least 32 bums until he has progressed far enough to risk him against top 10 opposition. He is awful, but he has power, and he is young. He'll be ready in a bout four years or so.

    Ajagba wasnt trying to KO him. Its obvious theyre trying to teach him to box
    Like Ive said before Efe is just like Ike Ibeabuchi was early on. Efe needs Curtis Cokes to transform him into a boxer puncher like he did Ike

    Ajagba beat the legendary 179 year old Amir Mansour though. So Ajagba is the future of the heavyweight division.

    He has power because of what? The best person he stopped so far was Amir Mansour. Knocking out tomato cans and old men doesn't equate to world class power.

    He beat Demirezan fairly handily, he didn't struggle all that much, most of the winging overhands weren't catching him flush, he was rolling with them to take the steam off. He showed a decent backfoot game, great stamina... he threw an insane amount of punches in the 10th, good punch selection, he basically threw everything but the kitchen sink at him and couldn't get him out of there. The only thing you can point to and say that's alarming is the fact that he couldn't KO Ali, well some people just have next level chins, Ali strikes me as one of those type of guys. You're not going to be able to KO everybody, especially when they do little things to take the sting off and that keep opponents from fully committed and throwing with bad intentions and Ali was doing that, and Efe could never quite find an opening to land a haymaker, and when he did, he stunned Ali, but he soaked it up and kept coming. It's far too soon to write him off, let's see what Demirezan does next before making any judgment calls.

    Is Ajagba better than Wilder was 10 fights in?

    Total BS. Wilder was still facing corpses at the same stage and getting floored by the likes of Sconiers. Old man Mansour and, Rodney Hernandez, Demirezen(undefeated prospect with amateur pedigree and Wallisch are FAR better than anyone Wilder has been in with 25-30 fights in much less 10. His opposition has been more than acceptable for where he's at.
