Efe Ajagba vs. Stephan Shaw | ESPN - January 14, 2023

[Ruthless-RKO]

are they all in the top 15 for (only) their 'best recent win'?

i get your argumentation, based on 'best recent win' it might be close, still i can't see how efe beating shaw would put him (even in discussion for) top 15.

For the most part, yes. Most of them don't have a worthwhile win other than that one best recent win. Others have similar, but not standout, wins which are at least 3 years old. I agree with you that depth of resume comes into play when assessing them overall but when it's just journeymen and one decent name you can only really consider that one decent name.

exactly what u said last, no argument there and it just isn't enuff to enter top 15.

btw, what's frank sanchez who'd be the one to go first if efe enters, (he's 15 right?) best win? more or less recent?

Well Chisora is 15. Sanchez is 11.

If anyone’s gonna go out it’s gna be Chisora.

I think Sanchez wasnt originally voted in that high, but he’s progressed through other demises.

I think also we look at age and milage. Well I do.
Chisora, Pulev = old and high milage.
Also who is on the up, and who is on the out.
Sanchez on the up.
Winner of Ajagba/Shaw on the up.

[oogiebe]

Mille/Hernandez is a good little scrap.

[skanksta]

Adam "Blunose" Lopez ?

Is he a 'Gers fan !
Should be a good fight this...

I'm waiting for the mascot, Super Nova, to jump the top rope and interfere ala WWE.

[skanksta]

That was some mascot !

Nova sells a fight well
I've got 20-18 Blunose, but it could easily be 1-1.
Pretty sure Lopez won the 2nd and so are Poncher and Algieri

[oogiebe]

That last sequence was the best Lopez looked so far.

[skanksta]

high-quality and closely matched, could be 3-1 either, but I'll guess 2-2

[skanksta]

ooh 2 x KDs for Nova.

[skanksta]

2nd KD wasn't a KD at all - bad call from the ref

[KiwiRider]

2nd KD wasn't a KD at all - bad call from the ref

Yeah, but the momentum is definitely in the favour of black Poppa Smurf

[skanksta]

Yeah, it is.
A-Lo has had his moments and looked a bit more talented, but 10-8 x2 in a close fight...

Gotta be fairly clear for Super Nova.

[skanksta]

A judge would have to overule the ref for BluNose to get this.

Great fight, both gave their all.
Lopez coulda won that fight, got the feeling he's a little better than Nova, but Nova harder more powerful.

98-90 x2 ?? 97-91 - judges had this clear for Nova anyway.
Don't agree with that, but right man won.

[KiwiRider]

Roll on the big blokes!
This card has been so meh, these last two fights better deliver

[gregregegg]

how far off are the big lads?

[oogiebe]

should be next up

[KiwiRider]

how far off are the big lads?

Not sure, last fight went the distance and now infernal holding pattern, then Rice and what's his face, then Shaw and Aggie

Comms saying they have to wait for College Basketball to finish.

[gregregegg]

had guido>efe>kongo.... Last second changed my mind and bet rice KO>ege>kongo... nervy stuff.

[skanksta]

2-1 GV ?

[gregregegg]

good to see that after i bet on rice by ko he decided to throw 1 right hand per round..... hopefuly he is just saving it for later on.

[gregregegg]

2-1 GV ?

clear 4 nill for me. rice has hardly thrown.
