Your Tua/Ike Card?

I had Tua winning narrowly, but Ike getting the nod wasn't bad enough at the time that I thought "robbery" or anything. Great fight though...it's a shame both guys weren't ever really the same after the fact.

 

I had Ike winning 7-5.

It was a close fight though and I'd probably score it a draw or maybe even a Tua win if I scored it again. Ike fought Tuas fight, remember that as well, to be even competitive going toe to toe with Tua is amazing.

 

I had it 7-5 for Tua. Close fight, Ike had a monstrous output throughout the first 4-5 rounds, and although he sustained a high work rate, Tua more or less took over. I don't think many people complain though: if anything, Tua's stock went up after the fight.

 

I had it 7-5 Tua but I really can't remember my card off the top of my head at the moment...I'm pretty sure I had Ike winning the 12th though, and sometimes that does effect how people view the overall fight.

Close enough that the decision either way was fair on both fighters.
As Chris says, both fighters should benefit from something like that, though sadly that's not always the way and the favourite gets flak.

 

I also had it 7-5 for Tua. It was a fight where even though Ike won and Tua lost, they both ended up coming out as winners.

 

115-113 for Tua, IMO he had the harder and cleaner shots, the rounds he won where clearer than some rounds I gave Ike.

 

Long time no see Luigi, where have you been? I had to defend Marciano and Damiani all on my own!

 

:happy


Hi ChrisPontius (damn, what´s your real name?),

I haven´t so much time that I had some months ago, but now I´m back again.

 

Anyone got a link to this fight. I've not seen it all the way through, but I've heard it is worth a watch?

 

But he´s really just a thin, small and mediocre 180 lbs- fighter with no skills, he just beat old and shot LHW´s...

 

Plus, he was balding.

 

:yep

 

I find it funny how he had a full head of hair in 1953.....then all of a sudden in 1954 in his charles defenses all of a sudden his hair was like nearly gone!!

 

He was definitely on steroids!
