Comments Thread For: Photos: Efe Ajagba, Frank Sanchez - Face To Face at Final Presser

[Marchegiano]

I made my pickem before I checked the odds. I meant to do all underdogs. Efe and Rob are the underdogs huh? I thought they were favorites. Didn't Helenius KO Kownacki?

I don't have a good reason for assuming efe was favored, just he's more popular and neither have fought anyone of note.

Oh well, I'll stick with them, just kinda interesting Helenius is not the favorite but I never did watch their first fight so maybe that explains it...probably go watch that now-ish

First real test for both. I feel Ajagba if favorite because he beat 2 solid guys in Rice and Demirezen.

Kownacki was like -2500 fav in the first fight and down to -250 this time around. I'd probably personally have it closer to a pickem or even Kownacki as a slight dog +100-125 range

I see, that makes more sense than I thought.

That’s pretty much a 50/50 for me, despite how the first fight went.

Helenius is always vulnerable, so he can go at any time. He can also really crack though. If you’re talking about single punch power, he would be up there in the division, but he has too many flaws.

As for Kownacki, he defends with his face but once that kind of chin finally gets cracked like the last fight , they’re usually never the same.

good fight, I certainly wouldn’t be confident enough to put money on it either way.

Yeah, Helenius also seems to fight scared after getting KO'd a few too many times. Emmanuel Steward did have positive things to say about him when he was still with us though which is always good. It will be interesting to see how Adam reacts early on.

Just because one gets knocked out it doesn’t really indicate who the favored is in another fight if the first one was unexpected . A.J was still highly favored over Ruiz in the rematch , Whyte was still favored over Povetkin ,Wlad was still favored over Fury in that rematch that never took place . The only reason Fury is still favored over Wilder is because they fought twice with Fury clearly winning majority of the rounds and now team Fury really being in control of that event under Arum really running the show .

Ajagba has much more push and expectations from him then Sanchez . Ajagba has had much more media hype around him I’m surprised Sanchez is favored as well .

Just watched the weigh in I still believe the bigger the weight Fury goes the better the advantage.

I have a friend coming over who has over a hundred amateur fights and is aboxer puncher who favors Wilder the third fight so there’s that but I still favor Fury I think it will be a close fight though in spots . Fury is a bit overatted for me and boxing is about small adjustments.
