Efe Ajagba real height

[PUGLET]

I was pleasantly surprised by Ajagba last night vs Monsour.... I expected him to be much worse. Was more surprised and disillusioned at Monsours willingness to lay down, not exactly “HARDCORE” in my books. How/when does a dude with his background become “that guy”?

[jamamb]

in mansours last 2 fights before he offered nothing at all either, hes a punch bag now closer to 50 then 40. expect to see more of him folding early. its why im not as excited about this as a lot of ppl seem to be. you need to actually keep track of the opponent and not go merely by his name.

being the only to stop roddy hernandez is still efes best to me, he outperformed several contenders/fringe contenders in that repect. that shows some real force.

[PUGLET]

Even for $25K.... I mean if you’re actually gonna get in the ring, at least go out on your shield, go down swinging, take your beating like a man or sit on your stool after a couple/few of rounds swinging for the fences. Eating some leather and then leaping/looking for a place to fall seems the least dignified way to go out. Pretty sad.

Agree about Hernandez. Efe's toughest test. But, his performance vs Mansaur showed a lot of improvement for Ajagba, given Amir's lack of motivation.

Anyone know the reach for Daniel Dubois? BoxRec shows his height as 6'5" but has no reach shown for him.

Dubois just had a nice KO of Cojanu on ESPN+...

Ajagba looks like 2 inch taller than Daniel Dubiois who is listed 6'5" also

Dubois seemed shorter this weekend but keep in mind his foe Cojanu was 6'7.5" while Ajagba was in with 6'1" Mansour. FOX is the one who corrected Ajagba's reach from 88" to 85" so I'm pretty sure they would have measured his height too & didnt change the 6'5" height for Efe.

Nice win but he needs to get a move on. Like Ortiz, word is his age isn’t accurately reported. Reports from Nigeria say He’s closer to 30 than 20

Could be just a rumour heard it on a boxing YouTube channel with African connections.

On his FB page, he presents himself as 6'6 tall.

Yes.. i seen it and Ronnie sheilds in interviews said Ajagba is 6'6" ...but my feeling is if he is somewhere in between 6'6.5" to 6'7" ..if the first, usually half inch is disregarded

[Boxtune]

This time he id fighting a guy who is is listed 6'5" and we can see the height difference between them .

[Cojimar 1946]

They used to list Barkley 6'8 when he was 6'3.

I thought Charles Barkley was 6'4 5/8

[Onetimeonly]

No way, not that it changes the point.

[Enlightened-One]

Efe Ajagba’s real height is utterly irrelevant. He’s several years away from being considered world-class.

That's what I thought too. I can't see him any shorter (less tall?) than that, either.

He has no choice to fight top 10 in early 2020 and world title in early 2021 ...else he lose his popularity because people are super high on him now.

On youtube his clips are all from 200k to 1 million views, you can't deny how popular Ajaba become in such a short time

He got a little help from Curtis Harper, but he's for real.

He’s a prospect that has competed in very few bouts in amateur and pro ranks. He’s young, inexperienced and needs to learn his trade.

If he’s rushed then he’ll lose and never fulfill his potential.

He hasn’t achieved anything impressive in the pro ranks. He looks the part though, even though he’s a tad stiff and upright.

His popularity and hype is based purely on novelty factor, due to the actions of one of his cowardly opponents. He’d be anonymous otherwise.

Efe might end up becoming the “real deal”, but he’s not there yet.

If he was forced to face fellow prospects like Ivan Dychko, Joe Joyce or Tony Yoka tomorrow, he’d almost certainly lose... and lose rather badly.

Give him a few years to learn his trade and he may end up overtaking those guys, but until then, the jury is out.

Few years ? I'm sure you are not his manager and thanks God for that.

thanks BT. I have that imbecile on ignore and you go and include his inane blabbering in your reply. LMAO! Efe could beat Dychko and Yoka right now. I'd be uncertain about Joyce due to Joyce's advantage in experience in pros and ams.

[jamamb]

i dunno, ppl usually overestimate how fast hot prospects will get moved imo

Dude, you are correct. I'm just looking forward to his next fight and the next step up. It's all dependent on those results, not what you or I think. Predicting is fun, but the gap of actual vs theoretical narrows the more the guy steps into the ring.

[Enlightened-One]

Check his amatuer record. Review his professional record and evaluate the calibre of opposition he’s faced. Consider the size of the opponents he’s shared the ring with and then compare them to the top-ten world-rated heavyweights. Watch his amateur bout against Ivan Dychko.

The conclusion you’ll surely draw, after researching the points I’ve raised, is that Ajagba is more than 18 months away from competing successfully against top-ten world-rated opposition.

I feel that he’ll inevitably fail if he’s rushed into achieving your timelines. He’ll end up becoming the second coming of Michael Grant.

What I mean by this is that “roses” attract all the attention, based on cosmetics, because they look great; but they’re known to wilt under pressure and intense heat.

Michael Grant was a “rose” and Efe Ajagbe will become one too if he’s rushed.

If he’s given time to learn his trade, then Efe may instead become a “thorn”, which remain firm and on point despite the heat.

Dychko manhandled Ajagba in the amateurs.
Yoka is a more accomplished amateur than Dychko.

You are underrating the talents of Yoka and Dychko, possibly due to a lack of knowledge.

That was then. This is now. It's not uncommon for a particular fighter to be better than others at the pro level who may have been better at the ams. Efe has come a long way and will continue to lap both of them. You have a lot of knowledge, but it's mostly poor.
