Comments Thread For: Martin Bakole-Efe Ajagba is a done deal for IBF elimination bout

I think Bakole steamrolls Ajagba…

Looks pretty much like a Bakole consensus here, and for good reasons.
I don't disagree. Bakole practically turned Anderson into a has-been before he could be a is-been, with the brutal efficiency of a steamroller.
But ya know, boxing is weird sometimes.
Just sayin'.

I have Bakole by KO2

Probably a bit of a let down for me. I was kind of expecting a more impressive opponent for Bakole to see what he is really made of - Zhang, Kabayel even Dubois. Before this fight was agreed Bakole was mentioned a few times in more interesting fights which never materialized. Is he really avoided or does he have a bad management team who don't know how to put him into big fights? I know what he says but I wish we knew for sure if his stories are true.

Efe is about to get wrecked. If he thought Kiladze hit hard, I can't imagine what he will think of big Martin. Ajagba's offensive game is basic, his power disappeared at a certain level of opposition he doesn't really move his head. Recipe for disaster.

I never understood why Top Rank wouldn't match Anderson vs. Ajagba before letting him in the ring with Bakole???

Pretty sure they would not, but that sweet oil money got it done. I thought I read an article at the time with bob or todd saying as much.

Efe is too one dimensional for a fighter like bakole. Big straight shots at range will only keep bskole off for so long. Can't see it going past the half way point

[Tatabanya]

Ajagba struggled with Guido Vianello. Enough said.

If Bakole is in the mood, he might take Efe out inside two.

They thought , like many others , that he would beat Bakole

[PunchyPotorff]

Bakole is like a steamroller in the ring. I'd be surprised if Efe lasts 3 rounds.
