I don’t think either man will ever be good enough to progress their careers to the point they’re classed amongst the top-five world-rated heavyweights.

Normally, I’d award two unbeaten prospects kudos for facing each other, but in this case I won’t, because they’re hyped-up timewasters with horrendously padded records.

Both men are in their late twenties and both have been pros for more than four years. And they’ve achieved nothing of any note – they haven’t even shown any visible signs of improvement since 2019.

It’s about time they faced a half-decent opponent, rather than cab drivers or road sweepers!

That said, when it comes to making a prediction, I’m a bit flummoxed.

The Cuban’s amateur record is seriously impressive, from a statistical standpoint, but he’s less accomplished than the Nigerian in terms of international tournaments.

Ajagba is the bigger more heavy-handed fighter, faced better opponents in the pro ranks and will probably be installed as the betting favourite for this bout, but he’s also slower, more robotic and there’s a big question mark about his durability (since he’s been hurt by subpar opposition).

Sanchez is fast, mobile, throws lots of shots and has a really good team behind him, but his punching power is questionable to the point where he’ll be considered feather-fisted by the top guys, his defence is very leaky, and he’s generally fought slightly weaker opponents in the pro ranks than Ajagba has.

I’m favouring Sanchez to win this fight by decision – he’ll probably outwork Ajagba, but I haven’t got much confidence in my prediction.

Nice post EO
I'm in the mind that Frank will outbox Aggie, maybe knock him out, maybe go to a decision win if Aggie's chin holds up. Seems the votes on the poll reflect this also.
And I don't mind this matchup at all.
Like you said, neither are future superstars, but as far as levels go, its not bad..

Ha, it was the only fight I had a flutter on. Thankfully, because I thought Cheeseman would get a decision, and the same with Smith

It shouldn’t be allowed to happen, otherwise he’ll inevitably go down the same path as David Price when he suffered embarrassing back-to-back losses to Tony Thompson.

The Nigerian will always lose in one-sided fashion to the Cuban, unless he can score a fluky lottery winning style one-punch KO.

News to me if he has been banned. I saw he had used another account to post. He didn't say anything about that but the style and the unmistakable homoerotic content left no doubt as to the identity. I don't remember the name though or whether it was as far back as his last Boxtune post.
