    He's always around the 290-300lb mark and regardless he put on a better show than any of the "superstars" last night, it's a go figure job.

    Ajagba was robbed. This was no draw. He deserved the verdict over Bakole.

    Turki should put in the contract that Bakole has to meet a 280lbs limit if he wants another fight. Fat *******.

    Bakole won some rounds yes,. but He clearly won more and was more impressive. He only ever lost a round due to Bakole hitting like a truck and him having to recover the odd time, but he handled this well really, adjusted each time.

    He won by far the majority of rounds, Bakole won the few where his size and power caused Efe to have to adapt more. But he always adapted and they where few and far between. AT most 3 rounds to Bakole imo

    I was only part watching it, like only watched about 30% of it if that but from what I saw Ajagba was outboxing Bakole but there was at least one round where he managed to trap Ajagba on the ropes and was beating him up.

    I thought Ajagba stood a fair chance of winning, especially after seeing how heavy Bakole was, but I thought he might catch him with something huge and knock him out not outbox him. Bakole's slow feet was his downfall and the weight can't have helped that but I'm not sure how much difference it would've made

    This should also apply to Miller and Fury.

    Bakole needs to shed some weight and learn to cut off the ring.

    Standing there demanding his opponent goes toe to toe doesn't cut it.

    Ajagba appeased him to some degree too.

    96-94 Ajagba for me but he wasn't very good and when into survival mode in the last few rounds.

    98-92 is bananas but whatever, I don't care enough to argue it much more than that.

    You can tell all the bum cares about is the paydays, and enjoying his food. He looks too happy when he loses/draws.

    I reckon he'll look like The Nutty Professor when he retires.
