    Pros: Size, strength, decent power; Cons: started too late, seems to be thinking about moves vs instinctive, stands straight up with chin on the line, needs to throw more body shots.

    I think at this point my opinion is that he has limited potential and will get exposed against a top heavyweight.

    Maybe match him up against Helenius.

    He's more Duncan Dokiwari than Ike Ibeabuchi

    I wasn't impressed at the weekend and he didn't look great in his fight prior. His head is very static and his feet leave a lot to be desired. I think his power is probably still pretty solid and he throws his shots well though. His ceiling certainly appears lower than initially suspected.

    Him and Hughie would be an interesting one. Although I don't see it happening at all.

    I would love to see Efe Ajagba vs Filip Hrgovic, that would be a great fight between two big heavyweights...

    He’s very good when he puts punches together and doesn’t have long intervals between throwing them but the fight between him and Razvan showed how easy one can make him look bad , he’s going to have trouble with a boxer puncher if he doesn’t learn to utilize more combinations .

    He’d be a good opponent for someone like Andy Ruiz.

    Like I've said before Ajagba reminds me of Ike Ibeabuchi when he first arrived in Curtis Cokes gym in Dallas. Just a crude brawler. Then Curtis worked his magic on him turning him into the copmplete boxer puncher . Folk were saying Ike is a future champ Curtis said " Yeah we know he can hit but can he take a punch just as well"? Ike proved that he could. Efe still has to prove that. What he needs is Curtis to train him & teach him to box

    Still raw but has time to improve. Probably suffers from being a tad heavy, if he comes in a lighter it may loosen him up

    Ajagba vs yoka would be interesting
