    who you got guys?
    toney has a way better defense than tua and chin as good as tua.
    he's slicker than byrd who gave ibeabuchi problems with his slickness
    ibeabuchi a powerhouse with high workrate
    i see this going to a decision that toney might well win with his counters and defensive skills

    I think Ibeabuchi would have won a decision a little bit more deserved than he had against Tua

    Exactly what i was going to say. :good

    Ike is too busy with his intense pressuring workrate.

    Toney wouldn't get a chance to get comfortable.

    ibeabuchi's workrate would definitely be a problem for toney,but i think
    toney would be more active than tua.rounds would probably be hard to call,ibeabuchi's workrate vs toney's clean counters

    Ibeabuchi, too much strength, size and workrate backed up by decent technical skills

    I think the skill gap is to the point where Toney would end up picking him apart.

    Ike could really beat Toney up bad. And Toney is relatively featherfisted at heavyweight, could he hold Ike off him?
    Would be hotly contested fight though

    Looking at the Toney Ramhan fight, I come away thinking that Ibeabuchi would have the tools to beat him.

    Ike (Tua version) would just be too big, and have too high a work rate for the hw version of Toney to deal with.

    Toney would make Ike miss a lot, but wouldn't be able to return enough to win rounds, and eventually Ike would start to hurt Toney, at least to the body by the middle rounds, and it could get ugly for Toney, as Toney just doesn't have one punch power at hw to keep Ike off him.

    Interesting fight, early anyway, but I see Ike outworking, and most likely busting Toney up pretty good in route to most likely a UD win.

    Ibeabuchi UD12 Toney.
