Comments Thread For: Efe Ajagba Rocks, Takes Out Joe Goodall in Four Rounds

[joe strong]

Time to step up again. He took a step back & was rebuilding after the Sanchez loss but now after a few fights he needs to start fighting a better level of opponent from here on out…

Ajagba should be stopping guys at that level it's just when he's stepped up he looked pretty lost. I wouldn't mind seeing him though against a Martin Bakole or a Jermaine Franklin in his next fight because he is beyond this level but the question is can he beat a top 15-20 fighter next

Goodall should fight Guido next, would be an interesting test for the gladiator. Ajagba is kinda stuck between levels, not sure where he goes from here if they aren't willing to risk Anderson yet against him. Chaney might be an interesting opponent after that KO of Bryan, wouldn't mind a guy like Cusumano either.

How long will Ajagba continue fighting fry cooks and dishwashers?

Ajagba has a good jab, is tall and strong, and can punch hard. However, he also has terrible footwork, no head movement, pretty ordinary (or no) defense, and is quite stiff. Ajagba at this level does not beat the top 7-8 fighters, possibly not even top-10.

He's the sort of guy who isn't going to earn his way to title level, but you could manage him to a shot. And once you're in a title fight your life could change.

But ranked 7 by the WBC, where does he go from here?

He's got fighters in his way that he would struggle massively against. Hard to see how they manage him upwards at all from this point - unless they give a few more easy fights to build him up as an opponent for Anderson.

Ejagba vs Anderson would be a very intriguing fight, but doubt TR will match them up this early.

[JakeTheBoxer]

A good win for Ajagba, but his problem is, he will likely lose again, when he faces a legit top 15 opponent like Sanchez was at the time they fought.

I am not sure Ajagba can become a legit world title contender.

ajagba vs huni would be good test for both

Yeah, Huni already also beat Goodall, so it makes sense.
