- ANB Arena in Riyadh
Prediction: Martin Bakole by Stoppage
Result: Draw
I’ve always thought Ajagba had skill but I never thought he could box like this. He showed great footwork here and largely stayed off the ropes. Bakole’s slow feet definitely helped but other than a few scary moments, he boxed quite well. Bakole will (pretty much) always have scary moments in a fight but Ajagba did a really solid job here. It’s crazy that you can do a good job and you still get a draw but it is what it is. A fair result but Ajagba definitely won over the fans with a much better performance than expected.
