Comments Thread For: Efe Ajagba Makes Top Rank Debut, Decisions Jonnie Rice

[deathofaclown]

His age is really starting to show, anyone who believes this guy is in his 20s needs their heads checking.

Yep

just like a lot of Nigerian footballers seem to fade badly at about “28”

I remember Obafemi Martins was meant to be about 22 when he was clearly about 30 and he signed for Newcastle. 4 years later at “26” he was already playing much lower level in Russia. Because he was really almost 35.

Ajagba must know his level. Fringe contender at best. Joshua stops him inside 3 rounds, Wilder murders him, Fury beats him easily. Whyte beats him easily. Povetkin stops him in brutal fashion.

lol ..... remember him. He was only "prime" for a bout 2 years before the massive slide and losing his pace.

Damn Efe, that was some bullshit man. You can do better than that.

Arslanbek Makhmudov retains his position as the dark horse of the heavyweight division.

[Eff Pandas]

Ajagba is still a threat at the HW division. He needs such fights to test his durability.
Kudos to his new promoters for giving him durable opponents.

Yea I'm more chalking up this fight to a learning experience more than he went from prospect to can in a fight. I think Efe needed to work on some sh^t after the previous fight & scare & I suspect his confidence took a hit to. I imagine he's working through both those things now.

Certainly Efe isn't a finished product yet so saying he's a future champ or complete can are both sorta ******.

Only the 2nd time I have watched Efe fight and both times I was not impressed. He has a loooong loong way to go to improve and should not be rushed, he has alot to improve on, particularly his defense. If a decent heavyweight were in there tonight with Efe, he would have easily beaten Efe and likely by KO, he was being caught way too easily

[Mammoth]

Last 4 Ajagba fights I been disappointed. Let's see if he can turn it around.

Ajaba needs a lot of work but Jonathon Rice was there to get a paycheck and not get knocked out

[Earl-Hickey]

He reminds me of izu ugonoh.

Dudes see a black man with a 6 pack and get way too overexcited smdh

[SN!PER]

Ajagba grew up playing a lot of soccer. He has strong legs, endurance, an 85" reach, and a high work rate. I expect Kay Koroma to use these strengths to their advantage. Train his foot work, lateral movement, feints, angles, control of distance, and a consistent jab to wear down his opponents.
