Efe Ajagba vs Frank Sanchez: Final Prediction

While the records show that Frank Sanchez has much more experience as an amateur as well as a pro-boxer. However, it all ultimately comes down to the skills.

In April 2021, Efe Ajagba fought Brian Howard; showed a front-foot-heavy approach, used his jab extensively to create and maintain distance throughout to land his ultimate big right hand.

The fighter from Nigeria showed awkward movement in clinches, a general lack of defense, head, and in-ring movement. Ajagba ultimately ended this fight with an early KO.

On the other hand, Frank Sanchez is coming off a TD win over Nagy Aguilera in May. Much like Ajagba, even he used his jab extensively to create and maintain distance and block Aguilera from entering the pocket.

Ajagba and Sanchez share similar styles; however, the Cuban has more agility in his movement show and shows better defense with his usual ‘hands-down approach‘.

Ajagba might try to capitalize on his height and reach by using his jab to create distance. This will allow him to land his overhand right.

However, Sanchez is more agile in his striking, movement, and defense; this will allow him to close the distance and use his own one-punch knockout power to his advantage.

This could be a very close fight and it could very easily go either way. However, the most likely outcome of this fight could be Frank Sanchez winning by unanimous decision.
