Comments Thread For: Photos: Efe Ajagba Lackluster in Decision Win Over Rice

[SN!PER]

Another hype job. Ajagba is an average journeyman. Not skilled, not refined, not drawing attention. His claim that he will school Joshua is grossly unsubstantiated. In fact he's a whyte sort of thing and I mean that as an offence, that's how bad he is. Same **** of dubois, whyte and chisora combined. Big dossers

Dubois? He seems like a good kid who's doing really well for his age. The upcoming fight against Joe Joyce proves he's a serious challenger and not just a bum basher like some of these other contenders.

Dubois looks like far better fighter than Ajagba so far.

I think so to but based on what. On quality of competition to date, I think Ajagba has faced better competition.

On the "eye test", I think Dubois looks like a better boxer but how much of that is based on the fact that he has fought no one in the top 50 who has challenged him?

The good thing is Dubois has time on his side,

Ajagba is a Nigerian 28 which
means he’s about 34.

Who has Ajagba faced ? Demerizen and Cojanu are not exactly world beaters,he has an older Mansour on his retirement fight to ,decent but they are B level guys .

DDD has fought Gorman and Cojanu as well ,I could probably say Johnson who’s still active a top win so far to .

Adding Joyce to his resume if he wins puts way ahead of Efe ....if he wins .


I think putting aside the resumes it’s clear DDD is more fluid and defensively responsible and understands distances much more ,he doesn’t walk into many punches like a zombie ,he knows how to dip to the body and follow up top much more as well ,Efe looks like a totem pole in there in comparison.

Ajagba - Wallin makes full sense now. Wallin is a fringe contender level guy that wants to prove he is actually good. Ajagba wants big fights, but he must beat somebody like Wallin next. This fight can be made because Top rank invited Wallin to fight Fury.

Efe is a poor man's Wilder.. Ajagba doesn't have the power everyone speaks of, Deontay Wilder was destroying this level of opposition with no struggling.

Wilder almost lost his 13th fight and struggled plenty with guys inside the top 50 .

Let’s keep it real Wilder was not fighting anyone like Rice at this stage . Efe does many things better then Wilder and has a higher ceiling of potential,I think you guys forgot boxing is about winning rounds more then knocking someone out which is why Wilder looks terrible now . He’s learned very little coming up through the years and making minor adjustments .

Ajagba needs several fights for that one ,he’s not ready it would be a big mistake . Losing any fight before your 15th one would be disastrous nowadays anyway if your marketed as a killing machine .

Ajagba looks scary but I don't think I've ever seen anything to suggest he's a top level fighter, or even a potential top level fighter.

I reckon people just want an African guy to get to the top.

Actually no rice was coming off of the couch and ajagba is telegraphed Wilder is lightning-fast with his power and would destroy rice. Efe ajagba will never be a champion and he would get ko'd by Dubois Joyce Joshua Fury kownacki Whyte Ruiz Hrgovic and most importantly Deontay Wilder
