Let's just wait and see. I would love to give all the reasons why Joshua would lose this fight but I would rather be quiet. Let's just wait and see. It's a big fight. Anything can happen. We've not seen anybody survive AJ's uppercut yet, but I doubt Fury will fight him at close range. Anyway, I'm excited for AJ. He's finally fighting real competition.

I got a feeling Josh will loose this one not because he doesn't have the credentials to win but because the British bookmakers will fix the odds to favor Fury.

The odds will be in favor of Josh but he will loose to rake in money for the British greedy money makers.

Wait let him lose first before you start making excuses.

AJ is not hype abeg, his resume speaks for itself.

For all his resume, he has still not fought the best fighters in his division - Wilder and Fury. Any resume he's building outside that is just for show.

I would always say this. AJ's resume is great but the fact that his biggest match and biggest payday came from his rematch with Andy Ruiz says a lot.

Ask yourself this. If AJ gives Ruiz a third fight, do you honestly believe that he will win? Because you must understand that regardless of AJ's resume, Ruiz is his best competition till date.

He's a quitter and lily-livered boxer. A Frank Warren hype job.

Even the present Samuel Peter will put him to bed.

The boy was exposed for having a weak defense and a poor game plan. He was exposed badly. But he's not a quitter. The doctor said if he didn't go down his left eye would have fallen inside his eye socket. Even right now he's still at risk. He may never fight again and if he does he most likely won't be the same fighter.

But yhh. I agree with you. He's a hype job. Most UK fighter's are hype jobs, including AJ. That's why they don't really fight abroad.

The recent AJ fight reminds me of this comment.

Tell me again if Anthony Joshua does not throw hard fast jabs.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P42bXSTELac


Watch this 2nd video, note what the commentator said about Anthony Joshua's jabs.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbt3ZZHn9CI

Unfortunately I can't see both videos. They have been taken down. But I'll tell you this. AJ has an underdeveloped jab. He can throw that and use it against an C class opponent like Pulev. But when it comes to top fights he will fall short unless he gets better.

Sadly, there are very few top fights available in the heavyweight division. There's Fury, Wilder and Usyk. Nobody else is really a threat and it's not because AJ is good. The division is just weak in this era. There's also Ruiz for a third fight.
Politics / Re: EndSARS Protests Banned In Abuja - FCT Security Committee by SouthPaw24(m): 1:59pm On Oct 15, 2020
If our president should say this during a live press conference then we might consider taking it seriously.

The five demands of the protesters have not been met.

Deaths have come as a result of armed security personnel disrupting a peaceful protest.

The youths have not even started yet. ASUU is on strike so there are many idle ones out there.

Things are not working in this country and we are dissatisfied. But we will start with SARS/SWAT.

He is wrong about Joshua's jab!

Joshua's jab stings and hurts and they are fast!

Go and watch AJ's fight with Samuel Parker and Carlos Takam. Aj used his jab to design their faces. AJ throws hard and fast jabs.

I've seen both fights. Unimpressive. The jab you're talking about was absent. Takam was hurt by AJ's fast hooks, Parker was not hurt by AJ's jab.
In that aspect Efe Ajagba is better than AJ. He has a much better jab than AJ and he described AJ's strength well in that interview.

Unless you don't know what a jab is.

I don't see that match up happening anytime soon. Like Efe Dubois is way down the line. But Dubois Efe is doable

You're very correct.

For now let's wait for Joshua and Fury to sign their contracts and pick a fight date.

Lol

What's wrong with doing it in Nigeria?

You know something about how it's done here. Enlighten me

I don't know much. I've watched some televised boxing matches in Ibadan. The fighters looked terrible, scars all over their faces. And they couldn't even fight well. It was just rubbish.

Just find someone to help you train abroad. You might have to suffer the Nigerian system a bit sha. That's what Efe did.

Okay, let's wait and see but remember, this is heavyweight boxing where a single punch can end it all up.

Efe Ajagba needs more time and patience, those top heavyweights like Joshua and co. Will soon age or retire. I'm not too happy how he left roonie shields and signed a new contract with his new management team, why? Because with the former it was all about biding and waiting for the right time, while the latter is just about business for them.

Efe Ajagba's time is coming let's say, 3 to 4 years time and not now.

I'm also concerned about his deal with Top Rank. In boxing there's a lot of politics because there's a lot of money on the table. A manager or promoter can destroy a boxer's career if the powers that be want it so.

Daniel Dubois grin That guy is a beast he would make a meal of Efe. Make he nor try am

Dubois is actually good. Very powerful puncher, very very heavy handed. With some more experience and exposure, he should be able to take Joshua.

Lol let's wait till next year.

It took me a while to really like AJ but I don like finish especially cos of how far he's come in such a Short time.

Fury turned pro same year AJ started learning boxing yet na their two names dey everybody mouth na.

Wilder Fury 3 is just going to be a walk in the park for Fury.


With a moniker like yours, do you box in the southpaw stance

I liked Joshua in the beginning but began to beef him later. You can hardly find me supporting him in any argument but I try to be factual.

I'm still interested in seeing WilderFury 3 even though it looks like a walk in the park for the Gypsy King. I feel Wilder still has more to give boxing for a few more years and it will be the most important period in his career.

I don't box my G. I no get the mind. I know enough about the sport to stay away from practicing it. Like they say, "You can play every other sport, but you can't play boxing." Even the training is life threatening. Make I maintain my keyboard championship abeg.

Wilder turned down 100 million to face AJ in England.

Fury and AJ will face each other next year. Na that one we wan watch

Na only God know wetin happen between Wilder and AJ because Wilder had a similar story.

Till AJ defeats Fury I can't consider his resume as anything tho I agree he has the best in heavyweight boxing rn. But he doesn't have Deontay Wilder on it. And he has a loss to Andy Ruiz. Fury has two bouts with Wilder and one with Klitschko and he remains undefeated.

Think about it my G.

Joshua is just overrated to me... I say this without bias.

If and when he drops Fury and Wilder within 6 to 10 rounds, maybe then will my perception change.

However, this Efe guy needs to hush up fast, and keep his head down. He is not anywhere near Joshua's quality.

You sabi.

AJ is skilled but he's overhyped. He has certain qualities and several flaws. When you compare him champions of previous eras, the difference is clear.

Efe Ajagba, Efe Ajagba....how many times did I call You?

You want to face Anthony Joshua?

Go and face Danièl Dubois, Joe Joyce and other heavyweight prospects like you before talking trash.

Anthony Joshua, though not a fan will run you through like a trailer. By the time you get hit with a 1, 2, 3 combinations and a body shot then you'll know that boxing is a sweet science sport.

I believe Efe can take Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce. He has a very effective jab and he knows what he's saying. But he needs more experience. Daniel Dubois fights more like AJ but he's shorter. He will have serious problem with tall fighters that have a good jab and good feet. Joe Joyce is much more tactical, tho very slow but he's patient. If Efe has his game tight he will take them down.

Which boxer of note has Ajagba dethroned? None. Aj has defeated Vladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, Alexander Povetkin and Whyte.

.

Only two names out there to be beaten in today's boxing heavyweight division and AJ has faced neither of them. When he does we would know how great he is.

He faced all these "great" guys but his biggest test till date was his rematch with Andy Ruiz. That should tell you something.
Sports / Re: Boxing: Efe Ajagba Vows To Dethrone Anthony Joshua by SouthPaw24(m): 11:13am On Sep 04, 2020
Normally no be by mouth. But he's right about Joshua's jab. Efe Ajagba should work on his skills as well. He has the longest reach in boxing (tied with Tyson Fury) so he might stand a chance against Joshua. He should gain more experience and develop his skills. He's still at least two years away from beating Joshua.

But low-key na Andy Ruiz start this thing. When Joshua lost to him, he lost the reverence he had in the heavyweight division. Andy Ruiz showed that Joshua can be beaten. He exposed several weak points, one of which is his undeveloped jab. You'd notice how he employed the jab in the rematch, but he still looked very uncomfortable doing it.

The manner at which Nigerians make analysis is very appalling, one rarely gets a mature and intelligent post fight comments. Where was the first boxer to trouble AJ - AJ refusal to give him a rematch is testament to the danger Dallian White poses, even Tyson Fury is ducking him. some people that posted rubbish think they know better than WBC who rated him as the top contender for the WBC title.

Dillian is overhyped. He's a C-class fighter. He doesn't deserve a title shot.

warota:
Povetkin is a very technical, discipline and fast boxer. You give him chance around you, you get punished. AJ have to maintain distance to operate hence the knockout. Klitchko almost turn the fight to wrestling to frustrate Povetkin. I put my money on Povetkin and didn't regret it. I will do the same on Povetkin vs Wilder. Except of course I see some improvement in Wilder

Wilder will beat anybody that is not defensively solid. That includes Povetkin and.... AJ.
