Nigerians sole boxing representative Efe Ajagba stormed through to the Superheavyweight quarter finals tonight with a first round one punch knockout of Trinidad and Tobago's Nigel Paul.. The 22 year old Ajagba is ranked number 9 in the world and showed the kind of power that has put him there. Boxing at long range behind the jab for most of the round until the opening presented itself. Paul who is ranked at 22 looked to be holding his own until the tall Nigerian, very reminiscent of their 1996 Olympian Duncan Dokiwari, dropped a lethal right hand with just 18 seconds left in the first round.. Ajagba now faces world number 1 Ivan Dychko in the last 8.. Dychko scoring a revenge victory over Magomed Medzhidov of Azerbaijan, who had twice previously beaten the kazakh fighter.
