Oleksander Usyk vs Ike Ibeabuchi

Usyk has had five fights at Heavy, is featherfisted and out of the five three are local clubfigthers who took rounds of him and hit him clean.

Usyk is not some kind of defense wizzard, he gets hit.....a lot.

That leaves us with the stiff Bodybuilder who quit against a morbid obese Burrito................Usyk went 24 with AJ vs the Burrito who flat out stopped him.

The crazy President would not go 24 with AJ, he would stop him in their first fight, nobody would put a nickel on the Bodybuilder if you are a betting man.

Derailing the undefeated highly rated One trick Pony Tua while throwing a record of punches and making ther undefeated Byrd literally drool trumps everything Usyk has done at Heavy.

It is a almost unknown fact that Ike already went off the rails before Byrd and barely trained, roughly two to three weeks and still put the beating of a lifetime on Byrd.

If on form the crazy President will stop Usyk.

 

I'd go with Ike, bigger, stronger and a lot meaner

 

Has he ever even been knocked down in the pro ring? How tough do you want him to be, exactly? He's gone 24 rounds with AJ who is a much better and bigger fighter than Ike and came out just fine the other end.

Good post. We don't have a lot to go on but we do have the Byrd fight which is important. Ike showed good patience and tenacity against Byrd and when his chance came boy did he take it. He had far less trouble against him than Vitali did 13 months later and he lasted the distance against Wlad straight after that. Usyk couldn't hurt him in a month of Sundays so he's there all night and he's not going to gas. I most certainly wouldn't be counting Ike out here.

 

Ike fought exactly 2 (two) good guys. Usyk has an entire resume of dudes that were dangerous. There's no comparison.

 

It depends entirely on how Fury comes in. If he comes in at his best form I favour him, slightly. If he comes in looking like he escaped from Sea World, Usyk is going to murder him. I wouldn't bet on the fight unless you can get a good idea of what Fury's form is.

 

Usyk wins this.

 

It is telling that both of Ike's major wins are small compared to the 6'3" Usyk, and diminutive compared to Usyk's best win in Joshua. The irony here being that the great cruiser is by far the more proven heavy.

 

Baruto Did you mean him?

Ike wins.

 

Another vote for Usyk. It is a footwork and angles fight.

He'll turn him all night and use his jab to stifle the Ike charges. This is a bout where a stiff jab is not necessary, just a bothersome one to prevent the other guy from getting set. The other thing I like w/ Usyk is his championship pedigree--he'll draw on it to pull out a decision here.

 

Not sure why you think the fight against Dubois would make you suspicious of Usyk’s durability.

Dubois landed multiple low blows throughout the fight and Usyk only went down from the most obvious and flagrant low blow of the lot.

It’s a cut and dried fact. Despite same, no other issues for Usyk and he went on stop Dubois.
