    The fight still hasn't been announced, but let's say it will happen on 03/05 as said.

    How much chances do you give Ajagba to beat Bakole? Most people, including me, think that Bakole should win this easily. I personally think it will be a repeat of his Anderson fight. But did anyone change their mind after Parker knocked Martin out? Or maybe Ajagba is criminally underrated?

    I think Ajagba has a decent chance to land a big straight right onto Bakole's exposed noggin. Anderson did but lacked the juice. Ajagba can hit and after watching Bakole show up as a Walrus in his last fight I 'll check the odds when this fight happens and might place a bet on Ajagba

    I think Bakole will win by TKO in a scrappy fight but its possible Ajagba stops him as Bakole has a poor defence and a suspect chin.

    70/30 to me Bakole wins. Ajagba isn't very good IMO - strong gatekeeper for me.

    This. Bakole should win. In my opinion Bakole is the more talented fighter, but with the way he tries to recklessly walk through everybody he could definitely walk into one of Ajagba’s bombs and get himself knocked out.

    Ajagba stays in shape and would most likely beat the version of Bakole that Parker fought. I don't understand how a professional fighter allows themselves to get that fat.

    He has a chance. Bakole is overrated on this forum. Especially before the Parker fight

    Both very overrated around here.

    Bakole is a decent gatekeeper, Ajagba probably isn't even that.

    Ajagba would have a decent chance of landing something and getting the KO... But then Bakole could, too, and if he's in good shape (by his standards) this should be his to lose.

    A few months ago, I would have given Ajagba 0% chance of winning. Despite his enormous size, Ajagba just really isn't very good. But any fighter who could enter the ring in such poor condition (as Bakole did last month) , or, be knocked out quickly by a non-puncher like Parker, has the potential to lose against anybody in the top 20.
