    This fight was rumored to happen a few months back. Makhmudov was also rumored to fight Kossobutskiy but for some reason that didn't happen either.

    Now that Ajagba has beaten Kossobutskiy, this seems like a logical next fight.

    Ajagba said yesterday that another fight date is coming soon, so I'm assuming it's the Makh fight.

    Anyway, who wins?

    Been done before on this forum

    I believe Mak destroys him inside 6, probably less

    Ajagbas jab and stiff movement just won't do

    Ajagba knocks him out by catching him swinging wildly in

    People seem to strongly favor Mak and I'm not really sure why. He hasn't done anything in the pros that Ajagba couldn't have done just as well. 50/50 fight and like the Joyce/Dubois fight the winner jumps into the top 10.

    Makhmudov will knock him unconscious. The new era of heavyweights is here makhmudov is one of them.

    I feel Takam would KO Ajagba, wheras Makhmudov beat em but it depends. If ajagba actually sticks a jab on Takam and uses head control he may win. His reach is ridiculously long.

    if only he wasn't slow as molasses

    I think Mahkmudov is overrated but he's all wrong for Ajagba who is open to right hands due to the reliance of his jab. Mahkmudov big weapon is his right hand, I see his overhand right landing and KOing Ajagba.

    The Mak attack is a bit overrated. Though I never thought much of Ajaba he has recovered pretty well from his loss and isn't as bad as I wanted to believe.

    I have no issue with people siding with the King of Narnia but I dont think it's a sure thing he win here.

    Ajagba would be impressed and overly cautious, he would not fully use his power, Makhmudov would stop him...

    I may be on an island here but I’d rather see Ajagba vs Goodall and Anderson vs Makhmudov :rosstheboss
