Efe Ajagba showed resilience & versatility with, as Tim Bradley emphasized, his Top Rank contract at stake tonight. Guido Vianello obviously had his moments, especially early. Ultimately, though, this was his career in a nutshell -- solid, yet just not good enough to get it done.

Ajagba was a little too clever for his own good ending the fight. He was demoralizing Vianello, and then Vianello didn’t have to worry about eating straight right hands. Scores should be very close.
