Having seen Ajose struggle with Wright and Reid in his last two fights I have to say that I'm not that impressed... maybe he needs a fight where he's got some fear of the opponent to really get him going, but he looks a tad short of true world class imo. A good fight would be him against Gavin Rees....

Olusegun strikes me as a bit of a lazy sod, Maybe he's made enough money that he's comfortable and doesn't really give a shit any more, but he's not looked anywhere near world class in the recent fights I've seen.

He could though be a witter type, who needs a good opponent to bring out a performance.

I'd like to see Lynes jab his face off. I've come to really appreciate Lynes's fine boxing.

I've seen Calzaghe look a bit like Olusegun did the other night (Starie, etc) but sadly Ajose has done this 2 fights in a row and there is grounds for thinking he'd be like it again, vs someone like Lenny Daws or Barry Morrison.

I think he'd be made for Witter actually... he does seem to think he's better than he is and needs a strong manager/trainer to keep him in line.... he probably misses the presence of Oyebola who was his manager I believe....

Ali taking a fight with Ajose at short notice saw him flatter to deceive. I agree Lynes and Witter would beat him comfortably, the latter by KO.

I don't think he is lazy, just very awkard. He is a poor man's Ricardo Mayorga. Just comes in lunging in looking for bombs. If you box on the back foot - your going to give him problems.

Pryce and Nuumbembe didn't.
