Efe Ajagba in the early hours of Sunday, April 11, in the United States of America resumed his knockout ways.
The 2016 Nigerian Olympian and rising heavyweight contender made a statement in an emphatic 3rd round knockout of Brian Howard. A right hand put Howard down in front of a sold-out crowd at Osage Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Sweet science alert!!
First thing..
KEEP YOUR HANDS UP!!
But the jabs blind them and right hand cleaned him up from efe ajagba…
Ajagba was fighting for the second time since signing with Top Rank, which was also accompanied by a switch in trainer from Ronnie Shields to Kay Koroma in the greater Houston area.
There was nothing unsatisfactory about Ajagba’s latest performance. The undefeated prospect was measured in the opening round, walking down Howard who was fighting with a heavy heart as he was forced to bury his passing mother earlier in the week.
“It feels really good,” Ajagba told ESPN’s Bernardo Osuna. “I listened to the corner, they told me to start to the body and then go to the head. When I started with the jab to the body, it caused him to drop his hands. Then came the right hand.”
