Ikemefula Charles Ibeabuchi vs. Idris Abiodun Afinni

The only thing that makes this a little less bad is Ike hasn't arguably taken the brain beatings that Tyson and Holyfield had experienced at a younger age.

Obviously Ikes brain is probably mush already but not from pro boxing lol.

This guy does seem to be an easier touch than Vitor or Jake

Reminisent of a prime Ali Raymi or Rohit Singh lol, did either guy actually land a punch?

 

I miss Raymi and his legendary tetraology with Prince Maz.

 

Pretty interesting fight. Afinni's latest fights were at cruiserweight, and hasn't gone past 217. He looks to be around 6 foot. Similar physical stats to a certain southpaw who was Ibeabuchi's last fight which ended in a knockout.

 

I think there was a gentleman’s agreement with Holyfield vs Belfort where Vitor was supposed to carry him but he went off script. That’s probably why he’s never gotten a fight since.

 

He has had one boxing fight since, against another ex-UFC veteran Jacare Souza. It was on another one of those weird cards where Roy Jones Jr. lost on points to another ex-UFC veteran, Anthony Pettis.

Yeah, absolutely right. The way Belfort acted and celebrated after he won too, was disgusting. Shouting profanities and just acting like an absolute dick, like he'd done something amazing. Congratulations, you just TKO-ed an old man who could barely stand.

 

This fight is going to be a fix.

 

Oscar definitely wanted no part of that psychopath after seeing that lmao.

 

That's Belfort in general tbf.

 

Afinni looks even older than Ike lol

 

I don't know man, that Tua fight where he went to war looked like a careers worth of smacks to the head in one night to me.

 

he looks way softer and estrogenic. Ike looks pretty solid all things considered. Would be cool he has a bit of Mansour arc and gives some good fights in his middle years. Needs to be smart with the matchmaking though. That being said he needs to look good here first.
