I wish the man all the best but suspect he's undefeated for the simple reason he's fought no one of real worth in 30-odd fights. Still, nor had Kevin Mitchell but he has won me round. See, it won't take a Bradley or Khan for Ajose to make the leap up in my estimation. Arnaoutis, Witter, will go a long way to proving he's worth investing our interest in.
Devon Alexander the WBC champ ? I think the only way that Ajose Olusegan gets a shot at the title is if he gets a voluntary shot at it, even so i cannot see him beating anybody even near world class in the division, Think Junior Witter even beats him now.
IMO Olusegun is a quality fighter he has beaten some good opposition but recently his opposition has subsided.... Maloney has got something to do with this!!! I do feel he has become avoided, his willingness to go to ROMANIA of alll places shows me he's ready to take risks. I think they should have targeted Urango for the IBF Strap as i feel he's the weakest belt holder!!! He does need to get a move on as he is not getting any younger but i do feel he can win a legit world title. Right now he beats Witter, he should be trying to go after Kotelnik, Holt, or someone with a name!!!
He was never ranked by the IBF, because with all due respect he had never beaten anyone(above domestic level). So going after Urango was never an option. The fact Maloney managed to get him to WBC #3 really is amazing and that he even should have been involved in a final(I think) eliminator even more so. If he can't get a big fight very soon he should fight Lenny Daws and look for a shot against McCloskey after that.
I totally agree mate... I just feel they should have targeted Urango!! I do feel he's too good for Dawes but him an McCloskey would be a quality match up with the winner to get a world title shot.
last few fights have been promoted by matchroom, I think Urango would beat Olusegun, I dont think he is really past domestic level as a fighter.
Overrated fighter, he's not world class in a million years. He looks messy against anybody remotely talented (see Nigel Wright).
Some people seem to blame his promoter but I completely disagree. He managed to get a fighter with no wins above good domestic level AND with no fanbase into a significant ranking with the WBC. The problem with Ajose has always been management and his inability to seperate hype with reality.
His promotion and management team arent exactly cream of the crop so what do we expect? Pretty crap really. They mouth off but dont produce the goods. All talk no action. He seems to be a tough bloke but lets face it he isnt a great boxer. Very aykward, thats about it.
