olu has a british passport, and is eligible to fight for it, mccloskey has stepped up to euro level, so had to relinquish

[dwilson]

I am a fan of Ajose but I really like Morrison too and hope he wins.

This may be too big a step up in class and too soon for Olusegun to make.

[HairyHighlander]

I got to say, all i heard of Ajose is the boy on here telling the world how good he is !

Dont care....


MORRISON anyway !!!

You really think so? Olusegun is coming off a good win & he was impressive in that last fight, & is arguably reaching his prime as a fighter.
Stylistically Olusegun is a bit of a nightmare for Morrison, hes fast, & as slippery as an eel. & as we all know, Morrison finds it tough against slicksters generally.
Tough tough fight for Morrison, but what a fight it is, true stylist v slugger fight in every sense of the word.
Cant wait for this fight!:happy

If Morrison pulls of the upset, it would be massive for him in every sense of the word. Its a big ask though, cos Olusegun IMO is a world class fighter in waiting.

[maka]

eh?


robs having problems with his eyes gaz....... poor lad, either that or he's on the krack :smoke

[rossd1506]

I thought Morrison had to fight Nigel Wright next!!!

Whoever he fights lets hope he gets a W so we can get a decent show at the civic centre or somewhere.

[alba]

this is good news for Barry,i dont think we can wirte of olu just yet.i think it will be a hard fight for both.

gary reid had his moments against olusegun, although ther wasnt many, and went the distance, and barry has done away with reid in the past

& another positive for Barry to take is that Nigel Wright caught Ajose flush & had him stunned, & Barry as we all know hits harder than probably anyone else Ajose has fought in his career so far.

Its gonna be tough, but Baz seems to fight to his best when hes the underdog.

[Kid Lucky]

'Should be a good one' as Adam Smith will probably say. I'd lean towards Olusegun but he better bring his 'A game'.

yep, baz knows it's gonna be tough, but he'll throw the kitchen sink at him, this is too big a chance, 2 titles round any boxers waist is what they are after, even with 5 weeks notice i'm sure he'll be ready, he's never been out the gym since the start of the year, except for the 2 weeks he was ill.

i even had a few sessions with him myself, bit of personal training to lose the pounds :bbb

although i have let it slip again, those damn chinese menu's keep fallin through my door lol

Not to mention the high world ranking Baz could get if he beat Ajose, its a HUGE fight for the Bazman, the chance of a lifetime.

My weakness is donner kebabs btw:D

[robpalmer135]

Morrison has gotta see this as not just an opportunity to pick up domestic belts, but if he is in the top 10 of the wbc then a US promoters will fancy him to get a decent ranking for prospects.

[jonnytightlips]

Hope Morrison does it. He was robbed against M'Baye

[Olu G. Rotimi]

Sorry to come on a bit late guys as I was in the USA going about business.

First of all big congrtaulations to Morrisson for taking on the fight as the winner will hold both the British and Commonwealth title. Morrisson is and has always been a game lad. Whilst many domestically have ducked Ajose we have always known that Morrison did not fall into this category. the thing I love about Morrisson is that he always comes to fight. We look forward to a great contest which we look forward to winning in style and Ajose will demonstrate once again his credentials for world honours.

Dunky great to have you back on the posts. I was absolutely delighted to see that you are back. Finally Ajose versus Baz is going to happen. We are preparing for Baz at his best like the version that took the British title of Lenny Daws. I don't know if Baz is the hardest hitter Ajose has faced especially as we have had to take some catchweight contests against naturally bigger Welterweights and Light Middleweights over the years however I do know that Ajose can take a shot and is durable. Put it this way we rate Morrisson.

[Flea Man]

Ajose can beat Floyd, Pavlik (if Pavlik can get down to 147 that is) and Pac (quite easily he would do to Pac what Pac did to Hatton) so I can't see how he loses to Tommy Morrison, who was chinny at HW

[Lee Mc]

I think he was being ironic... :patsch

[Lee Mc]

I think it's time for Ajose to prove he is as good as some have been suggesting.

I don't care if his manager posts on here or not and am not frightened to say that if he is as talented as has been suggested then he is the worse managed boxer in the World after Jorge Linares. He should have been taken to America to fight on a few ESPN cards or even untelevised, and built up a reputation and developed as a fighter.

The fact is that we are talking about a 29 year old who spent the last 5 years calling out Ricky Hatton or Junior Witter and did nothing that would force them to even look at him nevermind step into a ring with him.

Praise, however, must go to the promoting skills of Frank Maloney, though please correct me if that isn't his promoter, for getting someone with absolutely no fan base or proven ability to such a high WBC rating.

[Grant1]

I'm looking forward to this one, should be good.

Thanks Olu:good

Olusegun impressed me greatly in his last fight, fighting a dangerous opponent & poor Haywood, it was obvious the guy just wanted out of there in the end, you could tell by his facial expressions.
That fight proved to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that Olusegun is on a different level, & thats why I say that Morrison has taken on a mammoth task.
You know Olu that I have a soft spot for my fellow jocks, but I have to be honest here. I know my boxing, & I know that Olusegun is the real deal.

In order for Morrison to pull of the upset, hes going to have to pull off a Daws performance all over again, & even more IMO. Its THAT tough.

& in case anyone thinks Im just being nice cos Olu is an old friend here, get a hold of Oluseguns last fight, & then you will see why I think this is a big big ask for the likeable Motherwell man who posts here sometimes. Its became fashionable here in recent times to diss Olusegun just cos Olu backs his boy to the end, like certain posters here mocking him for no apparent reason. Fuckin morons that they are, with daft Boy George pics etc, instead of having some proper boxing debate with the man, who incidentally would wipe the floor with them if they had the balls to enter some proper debate.

Damn, I love this place, but when I see character assasinations going on without the instigators being able to back up their big boy mentality with good boxing debate? Its why guys like me need to stay here, to maintain the integrity.

I have always liked Morrisson and am expecting a tough contest. You this contest is akin to a football Derby match as Ajose Olusegun and I have become honorary Scots hence Derby matches are always going to be tough.

What sort of boxing debate are you supposed to enter into with a guy that can't pick a winner between his man and Floyd Mayweather? There is faith in your man and then insanity.

Never has one team talked so much and done so little.

You have obviously never had of the term "pick-em". I call it like I see it period. I am a great respecter of PBF's talent and I am also aware of what Ajose can do between 140-155 pounds. You forget that even the greatest fighters meet their antidote at some stage.

[TFFP]

Their antidote has usually fought around and about their level, mind.

The simple fact is Ajose is a domestic class fighter. And I say that not to discredit him, just that quite simply he's not fought anybody above domestic class so how are we supposed to appraise him? He's done the job, so we might say he should be considered fringe world class, but he needs to fight a world class opponent to prove that.

It's a big old step up to world class, nevermind the best in the sport.

[riggers]

Hi Olu who do you think could be the antidote to your man ? If not boxing presently say in the last 10 years ? steve

[Olu G. Rotimi]

Steve

I might tell you this privately but surely you cannot expect me to publicly detail this. Let us just say some challenges are greater than others. But at this point in time and for quite a while I have had no qualms against him facing anyone between 140-147 pounds.

[riggers]

Fair enough Olu i take your point,

I don't know about you lads but I honestly think Juan Manuel Marquez is a tougher fight for PBF than Pacman though I expect him to win decisively.

there arent many folk who think that,i do thought .i think jmm will be a lot more powerful than most like to think .look at this last fight against diaz ,he showed that age aint catching up with him yet

Hope Morrison does it. He was robbed against M'Baye

What the fuck?? :huh

You're saying that PBF vs Ajose is a "pick 'em" fight? :shock:

I'll have some of what you're smoking because that is the most stupid thing I have ever had the misfoutrune tor read on this site, and trust me there has been a lot of shite.

I think Olusegun wins easy.

The same way anyone who predicted Ali would do Liston and Foreman and Honeyghan Curry were certifiable were they. The problem is people are always to obvious. I am a great believer and appreciator of PBF's talent which I can wax lyrical about hence I think I know what I am saying when I pick the potential antidote and it is not Pacman or Mosley.

[nerrad]

Isnt it olusegun vs wright?

[BigEars]

Isnt it olusegun vs wright?

No that already happened. It was Wright v Morrison, aswell as Olusegun v McCloskey. However when McCloskey vacated his British title for his European shot Morrison was picked to step in(presumely because Olusegun v Wright happened before).

Morrison struggles with fightes who are slick or have good lateral movement.
He was even outboxed by journeyman Mihaita Mutu. To be fair to Mutu he used to be a pretty tricky task and was good enough to get a Euopean shot at Lightweight a few years back.

Morrison will be made for Olusegun, he'll come straight in and be open to Olusegun's counters and Ajose by right should look very good in this fight.

It's a must that Olusegun seriously steps up after this fight, I don't want to hear any excuses as to why he hasn't been fighting at a higher level already, as whatever genuine excuses there may be there is nothing to justify someone who was an Olympian, turned pro 8 years ago, has had 26 fights, and held the ABU and Commonwealth titles, and is 29 years of age and not fought beyond domestic level.

The only domestic fights I'd accept is David Barnes, Witter(if he wins or loses), or McCloskey(yet again whether he wins or loses).

I heard yesterday from a reliable source Wright had the fight. I thought Morrison may have pulled out? Watch this space....:think

[Flea Man]

TFFP I'm glad you remember that statement.

Something along the lines of 'Floyd is one of the best of the last 20 years, P4P no.1 etc etc.....it would be hard to pick a winner between he and Ajose' :rofl

[Flea Man]

And 'I'm not sure if Pavlik can make 154' when asked about a possible match between Ajose and Kelly :good

Big Ears we are now scheduled to face the unbeaten Don King fighter whose name I forget for the WBC title eliminator. We could not pass up the chance to win the Lonsdale belt when offered to have the opportunity to go into a world titlebfight as the combined ABU, Commonwealth and British Empire Champion.

Don't hold your breadth about David Barnes as I know it will never happen. Barnes was there at ringside in Nuumbembee's corner the night we did him and after what happened to him against Okine I doubt he will want to face any Africans. We actually thought we would get McCloskey but he gave up the belt apparently to fight for the Euro title supposedly against Junior Witter who has managed to avoid us for years. Personally I would view beating Witter as a public service.

McCloskey's not fighting Witter(he's fighting M'Baye), as Witter has got a vacant title shot against Devon Alexander.......the same unbeaten Don King fighter who you have an eliminator against ? :lol:, so eh good luck with that.

Two previous Olusegun opponents met last night, Michael Frontin surprisingly decisioned Scott Haywood, flooring him in the process.

Also Olu, Ajose wouldn't be the ABU champion going into any fight unless he regains his title first.
Do you think it's going to be hard to get an eliminator now Ajose is ranked only 6th ?

No it is not Devon Alexander am I talking about rather another guy. The guy is not American. The winner to face the winner of Alexander versus Witter. I think Frontin performance last night proved a point as these as guys Ajose has recently defeated

[nerrad]

There you go boys as suspected!

Who you fancy now? Wright will not be knocked out as he hasn’t been on his bum ever. A victim of some dubious decisions in the past, I think he has every chance. I am led to believe it’s for British and commonwealth titles but the poster says British.

[LHL]

Is Olu anything to do with Ajose really :lol: Nigel Wright isn't with Don King nor is he unbeaten :lol:

[Azumah1]

I can confirm that Olu is indeed in the Ajose camp and is a close adviser. Infact he was integral in advising Ajose to take up his British citizenship and pursue the British belt. I have known Olu since his days on the BBC forum and he was kind enough to inivite me (best seats in the house) when Ajose dismantled Ali Nubembe and Gary Reid! He has the inside trak on this one fellas!

Anderson is probably too busy eating buns:yep He lost his speed, skill and desire in one fell swoop, it wasnt Kevin McItyre who finished his career, it was himself. As for Morrisson, who knows, maybe he just doesnt fancy the fight cause Ajose is a tricky guy

[DON1]

I hope Morrison Wins.

[RichDam]

It must be annoying for Ajose to go over old ground if he is facing Wright again, but I still fancy him to win a wide points decision. He had to produce a workmanlike display in the second stage of the fight, but should be able to outbox him on this occasion.

I know most knowledagable fans wouldn't go that far and that was aimed at his manager who said that Mayweather vs Ajose was a "Pick 'em" fight.

he is the manager... he believs in his guy! what so bloody unreal about that. We all know PBF is the greatest out there, but im too long in the tooth to belive he cant be beat! now evre heard of the unexpected or the upset happening in boxing. or the boxer that come sin form nowhere to stake his claim.
Well we all know it happens..... aint saying its Ajose... but not acriligious to say so especially from his bloody manager!

Ajose and his manager have spent the last 4/5 years telling everyone that he is ready for Ricky Hatton, Junior Witter and now that he would give Floyd Mayweather a run for his money... And what have they done in the mean time to force these fights? What has Ajose achieved to make these fights happen? Does he, or his manager, really think that Nigerian Light-welterweight title or ABU equivilant force the issue? Or 3 commonwealth title fights?

Why hasn't he been taken over to the US like Andy Lee or Craig McEwan were, for example, to learn his trade?

The only thing they have achieved in the 4/5 years he has been calling out everyone at the top of the 140lb division is to make most people who read his manager's posts on here laugh and for my girlfriend's dad and I (presumably everyone else watching as well) piss ourselves laughing when he is interviewed by Sky...

One thing thing that he must be credited for is his promoter's ability to get him to such a significant WBC rating based on nearly nothing. I've said it before and I'll say it again that Frank Maloney deserves nothing but praise for that. Though I do think he is a good promoter anyway...

You are obviously delusional and plainly dumb! It is notoriously difficult for Africn fighters to get into postions to get the politics of boxing right in terms of title shots. I am sure they have n=made mistakes, but treading the well worn route of commonwealth and exposure in Britain is one stream African boxers of yeatyear trod a lot. Perhaps they have found that this is slightly outdated.
How can you blame that on the boxer who ahs profeseed a willigness to fight all the top boys on the domestic scene. we know Witter has turned him down at least twice and the likes of Lynnes and the name of the other african boy who went on to briefly hold european belt (his name fails me) also pulled out of fights very very late. The guy then showed balls to take on the likes of Pryce and Nubemebe (bigger men) in catch weight contests!
I feel the taking on of british citizenship and pursuing the british belt is actually a smart move, as it might endear him futher to uk audience. Well apart from you and your xenophobic family, who i am trying to figure out why they laughed at his interview.... oh i get it African with (wait for it) an african accent.... :happy yeh that is soooooooooooooooo funny! We've actually moved on from that thank god in most of this country... well apart from the inbred areas you still populate!:patsch

Now, Now. Everybody is entitled to their opinion.

The bottom line is Olusgen's manager has been shooting his mouth off for years but has nothing to show for it.

Lee I must say some of your comments in this post disgrace you and I am dissappointed. I really am. I had a higher opinion of you until I read some this comments which border on xenophobia and hint at other things I would rather not mention. I would be personally grateful if you can in your next post take back the poisonous comments.

I accept that some mistakes may have been made in handling Ajose's career but knowledgeable people know the poli-tricks involved in boxing whilst the general public only see the end product during the contest.

Er, lets get a few things correct...

I am of Irish desent and my in-laws are all from Ireland. My sister in-law's husband is from Zimbabwe and is African NOT of European descent...

We laugh at him because he is delusional...

But you go ahead and play the race card, twat... :roll:

Sorry for those who misread my post and were genuinley offended... I am NO racist and anyone who thinks I am should check out my posts on the Nick Griffin/Amir Khan thread.

Being Irish does not excuse the comments you have made in this context about you and your father-in-law laughing at Ajose's post fight interviews and digs at the Nigerian and ABU title. The fact that we are also fighting for the British title despite unknown to you and many several people questioning the merits of us fighting for the British title. We are fighting for the British is because of the honour and respect we feel is due to Great Britain, its people and the fact that we came here to commence our fighters professional career. Whether we should have gone to America or not the fact is that we are here and we want to honour Britain by fighting and winning its title to show what we are about.

Like I said we can disagree on boxing points, fighters, fights etc but please take care how sensitive things are put. In acknowledge and appreciate your comments on the Nick Griffin/Amir Khan thread.

First of all thank you for taking the time to read my posts on the Griffin/Khan thread and for acknowledging them. Sometimes it is very easy to forget that as wonderful as message boards are things can be mis-understood and though my comments were meant one way they could obviously be taken another...

I was explaining our Irish roots to show that we too are immigrants to this country (or desended from). I wasn't having digs at the Nigerian or African which, though not held in the same estem around the world as the British or European, are honerable titles. I was merely pointing out that they should not be used to justify any claim that Ajose should be fighting the best.

I will not, however, apologise about laughing at him in his interviews. They are very entertaining but he DOES come across as very deluded.

I appreciate the 1st paragraph of your last post and some of the 2nd paragraph. Where I take issue with the 2nd paragraph is that while the British title means a lot obviously to us here in Britain and the European means a lot on the European continent similarly the Nigeria and African titles mean a heck of a lot in that country and that continent. Remember Nigeria has a population of 140 Million people and is about 4 and a half times the size of the UK including Northern Ireland.

Ajose wants to fight the best because we and he believe that he is the best simple. We have targetted every title we are eligible for. We were actually hoping to get a combined Commonwealth, European and British title fight with McCloskey however that did not quite come off.

I don't know why you and your father-in-law are laughing at post fight interviews of valiant warrior but I will leave that you.

For the record I accept that no racism or xenophobia was intended so lets leave those issues aside and get back to debating this great sport that we all love. Thank you.

Lee is no xenophobe.

He laughs at delusional claims not a different accent.

You're out of order with that claim.

[DON1]

Lets stop all this race card crap and political, I know it all preaching nonsense lets stick to boxing.

The bottom line is this Ojose chap and his management team have been talking BS for his whole career. Basically embarassing themselves in the process. Its nothing to do with race, if you are a twat you are a twat and that is exactly how his team come across. Stop calling out the like of Witter and Hatton if you are not going to back your talk, regardless of what people think of these guys they ahve earned the stripes. If Ojose really wants to make a name for himself he should shut the fuck up get his head down and fight some decent opposition. Then he will find that the top top World Class opponents, money and fame will evetually come. Dont shoot off your mouth with nothing to back it up apart from a shitty Commenwealth belt. Tool.

Godfather I know you think you are a tough guy and you made be intimidated by Witter and Hatton but we are not. We are in this game to be the best period and we are ready and more important willing to take on whoever. You obviously have no respect for international titles which says a lot about you.

No disrespect intended but as a fan I have respect for titles and fighters that are WORTHY. I know you are trying to big up your fighter but for those who have been in this game for a long time know the Commenwealth belt aint shit. The thing about you lot is you do alot of talking but as boxing fans we dont see no goods from your fighter. The guy has been around for sooo long and we aint seen no real goods compared to all your rambling and talking. Like I said back it up son. When you apparently had the chance to fight Witter back in the day what happened?? As usual jack shit.

[Grant1]

Olu, you look far to deep into things.

Don obviously don't give a shit for the Commonwealth title either, which proves he's not bothered about where the title comes from be it the Welsh, African or Commonwealth he's more concerned with the level of fighter challenging for the belt - as it should be in my opinion.

Stop looking for hidden meanings all of the time.

Godfather when Witter was the Commonwealth champion we became the mandatory contender for his title but unfortunately he saw the Bradley Pryce fight as did Hatton who were both with Sports Network at the time. Sports Network thought they were bringing just an opponent to lose at the last minute when we took the fight. Witter will claim he gave up the Commonwealth belt to fight for the world title but the truth is for 2 years we were denied our shot at him. Late last year it looked like we could finally get it on with Witter. Once our promoter made them a counter offer they never came back that is what happened because they have never fancied. It makes me laugh when Witter claims Hatton has been avoiding him the cheeky bugger.

[LHL]

Olu why didn't you keep Ajose in Africa they get a hell of a lot more title shots over there. The IBF rate African fighters very high and usually put them in title fights.

Was just wondering as in the UK Witter and Hatton were already on the World scene and you didn't really have a hope of tempting them into a fight.

LHL I think when my colleagues 1st brought Ajose over here Hatton and Witter actually were similarly on the way up not established on the world scene though clearly there were plans for them especially Hatton as regards Sports Network. You may have a point as in the past guys remaining in Africa had got world title shots not that often mind you. I remember Obisia Nwakpa get a world title shot that went the whole 15 rounds against Saoul Mamby in Lagos Nigeria then again the gifted Jonathan Dele who was ranked as high as number in the WBC world ratings Arican and Commonwealth Lightweight Champion who beat Jim Watt clearly in 1974 I think it was, never got a title shot. Whereas Jim Watt ended up fighting for and winning the world title.

I agree mistakes had been made which we all recognise especially when amateur class mates from the Sydney Olympics such as roommate Sam Peters, Jermain Taylor, Jeff Lacy, Miguel Cotto et al have won and lost world titles.

:good Cheers for reading. I was just wondering because even now the amount of IBF title fights in the lower weights with South African fighters is big. I'm not saying they don't deserve it as when they fight they all look like top fighters.

I think your point is excellent about South African fighters fighting for the IBF title. The political connections are obviously important. Sports Network for instance seem to be able to have a direct line to the WBO.
