Oscar Rivas vs Efe Ajagba on ESPN Jan14th

Ajagba sucks. Rivas will chin him.

 

Vianello and Shaw on the undercard. Not bad! Rooting for Shaw.

 

Good fight!

 

Interesting fight. Ajagba's a wee bit better than I thought, having outboxed Demirezen (who's no great shakes, but recently beat Kownacki), and his power is pretty respectable. Rivas is a bit hot and cold, but has that fight ending explosive power that can pull a victory out of the bag when it looks like the other guy is in command. If Ajagba can get his jab going and avoid Rivas's occasional ambush combos I'd pick him on points. The danger comes if he manages to hurt Rivas early and tries to go in for the kill. Then the fight could turn into a wild shootout with knockdowns a plenty. It's just hard to pick him with any confidence as he has that kind of Wilder sloppiness at times that could open him up to a guy like Rivas.

 

Good one. Does it mean that Rivas is done with the stupid bridgerweight idea?
