Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Ajagba Is Gonna Have To Step It Up; Be More Creative With Offense, Defense

[Boro]

Ajagba has yet to impress me at all, he doesn’t really hit as hard as people make out, he doesn’t handle pressure too well….he needs some big changes or things just won’t work out for him at the top level.

He was never any good people bought into him because of the Harper situation thinking the guys ass was nipping rather than the reality which was Harper being rob on the night.

The truth is the guy is slower than molasses, his reaction times are just as slow, he's basic as hell and lastly getting put down by a cruiserweight who's badly hurt makes you think he's china chinned, he'll keep looking meh against mediocre opposition but he'll never beat guys above domestic level really.

Who do you think ward's "misses" were?

The only decent fighter he beat was Kessler, the rest were mostly bums

Froch, Miranda, Abraham, Kovalev, Barrea, Dawson... Bums really, certainly not at the time of fighting them? it's laughable to call pro fighters bums as well.

Personally , I think Efe has maxed out
Nothing more to do
Like I always say , can’t teach an old dog new tricks

I with you there. Don't really see him ever being a big factor.

Exactly
Nowhere left to go but gatekeeper at max

At some point you just have to do the best with what you got. Efe can beat a lot of fighters with a limited arsenal of 1-1-1-1-1-2, throw in an occasional hook ...repeat. He'll never be a fighter who should be fighting on the inside.

He has a very European style oddly enough for an African, spam the jab and when you're extremely confident you'll land the backhand he'll let it go and on the very rare occasion let the left hook go as well...

My question now is Shaw. I think my boy is better than he showed but he might suffer from AJ syndrome. Or he just got nervous in his first big stage. Thinking about it he might be AJ's best opponent. They would paw at each other and their thought balloons would each have a question mark. Neither would get hurt.

So who was actually available to fight when ward was active that wasn't a bum?

I don't see the likes of froch, kovalev, Barrera, bikia, green, Miranda, Dawson, Abraham as being "bums".
