As the younger fighter with the better pro record, Ajagba heads into the fight as the betting favorite with -580 boxing odds<\/a>, while Martin, who\u2019s approaching 40, is going to be the betting underdog with +450 odds. A draw result has +1800 odds.<\/p>\n Efe Ajagba vs. Charles Martin Fight Odds<\/p>\n Efe Ajagba: -580 Efe Ajagba vs. Charles Martin: Tale of the Tape<\/p>\n Efe AjagbaCharles MartinAge3139Height6\u20196\u201d6\u20195\u201dRecord20-1-130-4-1Reach85 inches80 inchesStanceOrthodoxSouthpawTKO\/KO Percentage70%90% <\/p>\n Efe Ajagba vs. Charles Martin: Prediction<\/p>\n I predict a TKO\/KO victory for Ajagba over Martin since he\u2019s the younger and more explosive fighter. Although the speed difference is almost the same, Ajagba can still fire his signature one-two punch combination at a rapid rate.<\/p>\n At this stage of Martin\u2019s career, he\u2019s a more flat-footed and doesn\u2019t move his head quickly enough to avoid punches coming his way. That\u2019s why I think Ajagba will land the more damaging strikes until Martin gets stopped.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no doubt that Martin is a veteran and battle-tested contender, but he can only absorb punches at a certain volume. If he doesn\u2019t dodge them, it\u2019ll eventually accumulate and his body won\u2019t be able to hold up.<\/p>\n Efe Ajagba\u2019s Recent Fight Results<\/p>\n Ajagba was a former Olympian who made his professional debut in July 2017.
