    Guy, he clearly was trolling. It was actually pretty funny.

    Merry Christmas to you.

    After the end of the fight he was just applauding Towolawi with his gloves, but I have a gut feeling he doesn't appreciate the way the fight was scored. I'm not surprised at the result though, I did say Towolawi was a dangerous opponent as he can hang into the later rounds and bounce back, and most of his losses were in Albania where he retired on his stool before the final bell. What I look forward to, is where Ike goes next, to keep fighting or go mental, is something we'll see.

    Ike is relegated to fighting in Nigeria. Either he got deported or he has no connections to make any fights in the US, my money is on him getting deported.
    I doubt anyone is going to Nigeria to fight Ike for pennies. Even in the US a Briggs vs Ike fight would be a small event.

    He still looks decent, co ordinated, just slow obviously

    His biceps are bigger than Kelly Ripa's body.

    I've always wondered how far Ibeabuchi could have gone. I think he would have been a tough opponent for Lewis. I remember the great fight against Tua, where I had the Samoan winner on my scorecard, but it was a very close fight and the victory could have gone to either fighter. Now, obviously, there's no point in him stepping into the ring anymore.

    I scored it for Ike narrowly.
    Didn’t Tua supposedly give Ike brain damage though? Surprised he can still box so well to be honest

    I've heard rumors about it, but I've never read of a doctor claiming it, so I can't dismiss it as anything more than a rumor. I didn't see the fight Ibeabuchi lost, but I'm not surprised he can still box well now. What changes over time is his speed, he gets slower and therefore, consequently, more beatable. I've never seen Ike's opponent fight, but based on his record, I think Ibeabuchi would have obliterated him twenty-five years ago. Twenty-five years ago, in fact...

    That Tua fight was brutal, they absorbed so many punches without going down or seemingly hurt

    The Nigerian fight seen is coming on. They are planning a big card at some point.

    had a green card, got into an altercation with a hooker, got arrested, got convicted, went to jail, upon completing his sentence was transferred to immigration detention where he stayed for quite a while trying to fight it, eventually deported to Nigeria. He’ll never step foot on US soil again. Zero idea about UK.

    with bangers of fights like Okolie vs Titty, Lagos definitely will be the new hot location for boxing.

    Glad he's been exposed. Ike was never any good anyway. Always knew he was a hypejob.
