Re: Ajose Olusegun - any news ?
Could argue he didnt perform when he had the big chances. Had he have turned on the afterburners against Reid and Wright and stopepd them in the fashion he did Nuumbembe and Pryce people may have become intrigued and interested. Instead he cruised and didnt look all that great. A shame because some of his non televised bouts and victories were fantastic.

i stopped caring during that slap and runfest vs gary reid, where olusegun failed to physically dominate his opponent.
and i was totally underwhelemed with his bouts against nigel wright.

X2. It would be interesting to see how McCloskey fairs against a fellow southy.MrBoxingUK2 wrote:yeh that would be great, but mccloskey wins that 1 for meEl Raincoat wrote:He's a really good fighter big shame he has so many spells of inactivity.

Nuumbembe and Pryce were on TV. He did look good in those, I think his problem is his legs are not as quick as his hands. I think he will always have some problem against movers. He was better in the Wright rematch, but hardly electric. He likes fight a guy who doesn't mind mixing it.Wales wrote:Could argue he didnt perform when he had the big chances.

Re: Ajose Olusegun - any news ?
yes those two were on TV, but they were both undercard bouts during which he didnt get the big build up. On the occassion he got the big build up, he stank the place out. Im not denying he looked good in those, i wa simply adding that some of his undercard performances (especially earlier non televised ones) were brilliant. He really looked the part.stujones wrote:Nuumbembe and Pryce were on TV. He did look good in those, I think his problem is his legs are not as quick as his hands.

That Romanian fight just went off the radar completley and it always looked like never happening.
I think he's unlucky because his profile is one very much of these African journeymen we see week after week but he's a miles better fighter than that.
He'll probably have to get with Ricky or someone.
