Efe Ajagba vs. Ali Eren Demirezen - July 20, 2019

[SenorPipino]

7-3 Ajagba.

I liked Demirezen, however.

If he had power, he might have contender potential.

supposedly he does have power.

[gilgamesh]

Ajagba showing pretty good stamina here. He still had solid power throughout the bout, it's just that Demirezen was tough enough to hang in there, and had good enough defense as well to stay competitive.

[SenorPipino]

Ajagba certainly deserved it.

The fans boo because they expected more dominance and a highlight knockout from the touted 30-1 favorite.

Odds can be misleading. Ajagba was such a heavy favorite because he's been seen, and people know about him. It's not that he's THAT much better of a fighter than Demirezen, just that much more recognized.

[SportsRatings]

That's about what I thought would happen - as close to an Ibeabuchi / Tua as we've got in today's HW division.

Demirezen's chin was really impressive, he just kept coming. Ajagba couldn't really unload fully, but he boxed well and got a LOT of in-fighting experience. His chin is pretty damn good, too, he took a lot from Demirezen.

30-1 is ridiculous.

[SenorPipino]

7-3 Ajagba.

The record indicates that. But I didn't see it.

As Teddy Atlas used to say about fighters with a lot of KOs on their record: is it real power or is it just the caliber of opponents?

[Best Coast]

Ajagba may not look impressive but to be fair the Turk is not bad, far from being a tomato can like some suggested

6-3 or 5-4 Ajagba

The Turk has a granite chin. He could well be a European title challenger as he gets more experience.

[SportsRatings]

7-3 Ajagba.

I think Ajagba's got a hell of a chin too. He took everything in stride.

He looks so damn calm in the ring its ridiculous.

Ajagba certainly deserved it.

30-1 is ridiculous.

Yeah. A prospect that has barely gone rounds should never be that heavily favored over almost anybody.

[gilgamesh]

So what's the more impressive win for the day? Ajagba over Demirezen or Price over David Allen?

[Best Coast]

Ajagba STILL needs lots of work, but he got in some much needed rounds of experience. Ronnie Shields will have some good adjustments for him to work on as they review the tapes of this one.

i would like to see Kabayel vs Demirezen

Impressive? Efe. Surprising? Pricey.

[dagilechia]

So what's the more impressive win for the day? Ajagba over Demirezen or Price over David Allen?

Ajagba over Demirezen, by far, imo. Allen's very very limited, of course so is Demirezen, but i have no doubt that he is a better, busier, harder hitting, more durable fighter than Allen is

[Best Coast]

So what's the more impressive win for the day? Ajagba over Demirezen or Price over David Allen?

Ajagba & Demirezen have FUTURES ahead of them whereas Price & Allen are dead-enders whose better days are behind them. That counts for much.

But CLEARLY the best HW bout of the day was Whyte over Rivas!!

Yup. NO doubt.

we got a very good HW night:

KO of the evening: Chisora vs Szpilka
Surprise of the evening: Price vs Allen
Fight of the evening: Whyte vs Rivas

LOL! I got every fight wrong in some manner. I have some thinking to do about our ratings. Whyte's win was terrific, and Rivas showed he's no stiff.

The respective effort moved each man up a notch in my rankings.

Let's think amigo, the voting started just now

[Betro09]

Everybody looking for Ajagba getting a KO win was wrong. I told Demirezen was not a joke.

Yet, it was never enough. Ajagba won, fair and square. I got this 7-3.

But, i know deep in my heart, if Ali was trained right and worked enough since he turned pro, he coulda win this fight.

[pound per pound]

supposedly he does have power.

It's how the KO artist moved the opponents around when he laded. Whenever Atlas says something like that, it's a tip off he does't like that guy.
