    I have no hesitation putting Ajose in with anyone at 140 pounds. If the truth be told I also fancy his chances at 147 and even 155 pounds. Judah is a name but would beating him now really prove much after he has been beaten and already stopped a few times? One of the reasons we were delighted with the recent Scott Haywood victory is that it was meaningful in that Haywood really fancied his chances and has never been stopped in the professional ranks and being the English champion. It is one thing to win a title fight or defence but we needed to win impressively after the below standard by his standards win against Nigel Wright last year. Personally the real targets are Junior Witter, Devon Alexander and the Winner of Timothy Bradley and Kendall Holt. I thought Urango was actually impressive against Ngoudo. Needless to say I would absolutely love a contest for Ajose against Hitman Hatton in Manchester followed by a rematch in Nigeria after we win in Manchester. I know the chances of this one happening are slim after Hatton versus pacman in May and the likely outcome.

    Who ever Judah faces, I hope the result is negative for him. Would be a great double for the Hatton Bros. Ricky Belted Tszyu....who belted Zab.... who was belted by 'lil Hatton.

    Probably a silly question but did you go to the Barnsley Metrodome to see Ajose fight Haywood?

    I am from Barnsley and obviously made the short trip to see your man fight plus the entertaining Munroe vs Martinez fight. I was very impressed by Ajose on the night and cheered him on through out his fight. I thought maybe he should have finished it 1 or 2 rounds earlier but he seemed to take a breather one round then continue the barrage the next.

    I was sat next to the lady friend of Ajose during the fight. A very nice and poilte lady she was.

    Thanks for the encouraging. A great night of boxing indeed. Beeston Brawler was there as well and was very impressed. I am personally happy it went 7 rounds otherwise some might have claimed that Haywood got caught cold had it ended in round 1 or of which there was a great chance. I was particularly glad because I know Haywood fancied the job and was up for it until reality hit him round 1. I would also draw our attention to the fact that Haywood is a switch hitter like someone else in Britain and had never been stopped as a professional.

    Haywood was built for Ajose though. Little power and came forward in straight lines. I did feel a little disapointed Ajose did not finish the fight a round or two previous but his performance was fine overall.

    Ajose needs a fight against someone like Zab or another gatekeeper because he may not be able to relax so much against the elite fighters.

    Good points dwilson. Though I am not sure whether Haywood was made to order or whether Ajose made it look like that on the night. What I did know beforehand was that Haywood had never been stopped and that Ajose had to win impressively. Some people like Boxing News Danny Flexen actually picked Haywood to win I think they like Haywood thought his switch hitting awkward style and height would mess Ajose about. However by the time a fight starts Ajose becomes anyone's nightmare. The better the competition the better Ajose fights. I think Judah would be a good fight but personally I would prefer Junior Witter or Timothy Bradley next. Put it this way doing a job on Witter will please the Hatton fans
