    Probably has something to do with Floyd if I put my money on it. Maybe Haymon was the one who convinced Floyd to leave J prince.

        Ronnie Shields is a better trainer than Kay Koroma, surely?

          Good grab by Bob, wonder why the move? PBC was pushing him along the right way.

            Prince should get Ward to Co-Train some of these fighters.

            Good prospect for Top Rank. That being said where is Gilberto Ramirez going? He was rumored to go to the PBC. Funny how a guy like Ajagba can easily sign with whoever he wants and doesn't have to hold out or wait a year, but everyone that leaves Top Rank has to sue them and waste years of their careers to get out of their contracts.

            It would be cool if these promoters could trade fighters like teams do in sports.

              Maybe depends on how much time Shields devotes to him as opposed to Koroma. Also just depends on how a fighter gels with a trainer.

                Depends on whether or not Efe can land clean. Ajagba can be stiff and has some defensive lapses but he does carry alot of power. Takam is a skilled warrior and can grind; either Efe stops him early or gets pulled into a war of attrition.

                Will be interesting to see who TR matches Efe up with. Maybe an initial fight against someone like Jerry Forest. Not sure who he's with bit maybe a matchup against someone like Kuzmin in a second fight would be a nice progression.

                  "I made this decision to become a better boxer and to advance my career,” Ajagba said.

                  Lyin bastid.

                  You signed with Arum because you saw Crawford banking guaranteed $3 million dollar checks to spark B-tiers and you wanted in on that action.

                  Ajagba vs. Wallin

                    This guy is SINFULLY SLOW.Hopefully he finds a way to become faster and implement more punch variety with the new team. Or else he's f@#-ed...

                      I was thinking the same thing. Al took Floyd away from Bob, then Prince.
