    olu i wonder why you rate the wbf intertattie title so high?i apprciate your boy has won legitimitae belts throguh out his career but you imply that he got his number 3 rating due to the fact he holds the wbf intercontintel belt (along wioth other belts).

    the wbf arent even a legit organinsation (in the sense of prestige) and are on the outside to most boxing fans.

    I think you are missing the point it is actually that we won the ABU title that got us into the WBC rankings. We took the WBF Intercontinental not necessarily for the title but to defeat Holgate in our 7th fight as a novice professional. Beating the much more experienced Holgate was a key milestone and showed a lot about what we are all about.

    Sorry, but Witter would stop your boy in six, seven rounds in all honesty. I like Ajose, but there's just somthing lacking other than the obvious experience at World level. I like him and always want him to do well, but he's always struck me as ever so slightly "plodding" when I've seen him fight. I was expecting that little something special after all I heard, but I've yet to see it. Good luck to him though, like I said, I kinda like him still, but Witter just has that bit of something special that will see him uncork one on Ajose's chin sooner or later. Don;t forget, Witter has often struggled against opponents only to "pull one out the hat". Ans for the record I really dislike Junior, arrogant as he is, but the truth is the truth. Sorry.

    Only against inferior fighters, though. It never happened against Bradley, and I doubt whether it would happen against Olusegan.
    Whatever Witter had, it was never fantastic, and he doesn't seem to have it any more.

    I think he would have a bit too much in every department for Olu.

    You will obviously be pleasantly surprised when we stop Witter.

    Unfortunately for Witter he will discover that we have much to much for him on the night. Witter trades on his switch stance awkwardness from the Ingle camp. Let us just say we more than know how to deal with his mojo.

    Olusegun just isn't that good, and most people know it. He hasn't even been majorly impressive against very moderate opposition at times. Gary Reid and Nigel Wright?

    He wings in wide punches and his power is average. To me he's an athlete and not a boxer. He will get his ass handed to him by a good boxer, take it to the bank.

    If you want to be a fool and lose your money then bet against Ajose Olusegun.

    The only fool will be you, as I have no emotional attatchment and will make a judgement call.

    When I predict his loss in advance depending on his opponent, provided you move him up from the Alex Spitko's of this world, I will make the prediction and laugh you off the forum.

    If you even return.

    If Olu did beat Witter, I would be the first (well, maybe not) to say well done, and admit that I got it wrong.

    However, beating a load of bums is no way to try to convince people that this is possible.

    Until he beats someone like Lynes, Rees or Barnes, by schooling, my mind won't be changing any time soon.

    Awright Olu:thumbsup There are a few guys still needing to be convinced by Ajose:think Well, I hope your man gets the chance, he hasnt ducked anyone, takes on good opponents at short notice, is unbeaten, so he deserves a shot at someone with a decent title. Gaunyurself Ajose, and all the best.
    By the way I will hold you to the promise of a ringside seat if it comes off:thumbsup

    Definitely Top Dog. The day the WBC title fight is signed I will be arranging free ringside tickets for you and the others. The key thing as you have rightly noted is that we have ducked no-one, beaten good opponents at short notice even those in higher weight divisions.
