I'm starting to think Ajagba would upset Kabayel and Parker.

    They were wrong about Ajagba, he showed footwork never before seen, this is why outboxed Bakole clearly for most, Bakole wasn't much different from usual. Ajagba needs to build his resume but resume doesn't win fights, hopefully Ajagba can get some big fights and prove himself to the boxing community, he is the most underrated contender. Nobody thinks he belongs in the top 10 apparently

    Ajagba barely made it against Vianello, he's not an elite fighter, unfortunately I don't see him beating Parker and Kabayel...

    Exactly... Ajagba wasn't super comfortable with Vianello who is nothing special, and he didn't dominate a poor version of mediocre gatekeeper Bakole, either (still should've won, but if he was any good then it would've been much clearer).

    Parker would wipe the floor with him on the cards.

    I'm far more critical of Kabayel's thin resume than most... But even Agit is much more proven than Ajagba.

    I'm fine with seeing Ajagba work his way up a bit more, but he's not looking likely to go all the way - absolutely no way I'd be picking him over guys who are so much more proven than him.

    But that is counteracted by the fact that Bakole isn't that good either.

    Good thing he outclassed bakole most of the fight. It was easy work besides a 2 or 3 rounds. Ajagba isn't proven yet but he's clearly improved and took the hard way back up against fringe contenders like Goodall, Shaw, Bakole, Vianello. Huni struggled with Goodall. Plus, resumes don't win fights

    Torrez Jr should try to fight Ajagba. They did both fight Vianello.

    Come on, I picked Ajagba to win but he looked awful. If the fight had been 12 rounds I believe he'd have been stopped. Bakole was pathetic, all he did was waddle forward and once Ajagba began retreating he gave away enough rounds to make it close. Any REAL top 10 fighter would have iced him like Parker did.

    Bakole came in 2 days notice, I dont rate that performance. Ajagba schooled him apart from 3 rounds, you can't give Bakole more than 4 rounds and that's generous

    That's what I gave Bakole, 4 rounds. That was NO schooling by Ajagba, he threw a ,,get away from me jab instead of stepping into it just as he did his right hand which I thought he'd land big with. He hit Bakole early and it stunned him then he spent the rest of the fight on his back foot and never really committed to landing a big shot again. He spent most of the fight trying to stay out of the lumbering oafs way which shouldn't have required any fleet feet to do . At best it was a C - level performance against an obese fighter who should weigh 260-270 at max and had he did he'd have killed Efe,,,,,

    It wasn't that close. Ajagba won round 10 using the ring and jabbing. The full fight is up. You can argue ajagba won 8 rounds, also, how does one stay away from Bakole without using ring ? Fat Bakoles still coming after him like Jarell Miller.

    0 credit, efe outclassed him for the most part but a "fit bakole" apparently destroys him

    The future will speak for itself, its clear ajagba is the most underrated heavyweight. Everyone thought Shaw would school him. Most thought a 300lb Bakole would still KO him. He's been underestimated time and again
