Ajagba unlucky to get a draw vs. Bakole

Efe Ajagba D10 Martin Bakole... In an all-African clash of heavyweight contenders in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 299-pound Martin Bakole was fortunate to come away with a draw against Efe Ajagba (pictured). After ten rounds, the judges adjudicated the bout 96-94 for Ajagba, 95-95 and 95-95, making it a majority draw. It wasn't a robbery, but Ajagba was more active, had superior ring generalship and seemed to land more punches. Bakole landed a few harder punches, and that was enough to convince two judges to award a stalemate.
