Question: How are the rankings affected after Bakole and Ajagba fought to a majority draw?

[Ruthless-RKO]

If you make voting easy..

Like below:

Bakole stays #9
Ajagba moves to #11

^^^ this example please.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I think it's easier to keep them where they are, however one judge did slightly give Efe the edge and I've read many who also had Efe winning.

Ajagba to #6
Bakole to #7

I do think it’s good that we acknowledge that they both fought at least. Some are just not being as active as they should be

Activity is the most important thing right now. So many of these top heavies are either inactive or haven't had a recognisable win in years. For example:
Fury: Chisora 12/22
Joshua: Wallin 12/23
Sanchez: Ajagba 10/21

[tiny_acres]

Ajagba won that fight.
Ajagba to #10
Bakole to #11

No way should Bakole be ahead of Ajagba

[KiwiRider]

It was a pretty terrible fight.
I had Ajagba winning and Bakole coming in fat and out of shape.
Both guys were to blame, Bakole could only string four credible rounds together, and Ajagba was just bad.
Bakole #10
Ajagba #12

[joshj909]

ajagba to 9
bakole 10


frank sanchez top 10? still? at what point does he stop living off the ajagba win ?

He should be nowhere near the top 15

[Perkin Warbeck]

Ajagba won the fight and was robbed. If we are being fair, he has to be ahead of Bakole.

Ajagba to #10
Bakole to #11

[Ruthless-RKO]

We gonna get any more on this?

[Finkel]

Just watched it. Had it a draw. They were trading rounds for the most part.
Good effort from Ajagba but I think Bakole wins the rematch if he drops some weight.
Bakole #9
Ajagba #10

[JonnyKupfer]

Ajagba to #9
Bakole to #10

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Ruthless-RKO]

Both are currently tied at =10

need some more votes

[Ruthless-RKO]

actually im voting too

Efe - #9
Bakole - #10

[gilgamesh]

As a fan of Bakole, and not a fan of Chisora. Let me just say.

I want Bakole vs Chisora!

[Bobbyptsd]

Bakole to #8
Ajagba to #9

I actually had it a draw, and I can't see these guys behind Zhang at this point, he's done.
If some say Ajagba deserved it and should be ahead, meh, I wouldn't argue it too vociferously.
I don't think either of these guys are beating any of the real cream anyhow.

[Ruthless-RKO]

The vote is over.

• Efe Ajagba moves up to #9

• Martin Bakole drops a place to #10
