Ray Mercer Vs. Ike Ibeabuchi

Ibeabuchi's output would be completely wrong for Mercer, so Ibeabuchi by KO...

 

Could go either way, but might narrowly favour the best of Ibeabuchi on points on work rate.

 

Ike by decision.
This fight has the potential to be a real banger.

 

Ike UD.

 

Ike by decision. He's the better ring general.

 

Ike tough as old boot and more skills than Mercer.

 

The best version of Mercer beats the best version of Ike. Too tough. Ike's power is way overrated/ Now, if disinterested, undertrained Mercer show up, Ike rolls him to a decision.

 

Ike. I think he will hold up fine since he held up for 12 rounds of Tua landing some good bombs on him. I think he will land some good shots on Mercer and Ike is a bit better on the inside too, in terms of defence.

 

I also think top-of-the-line Mercer might take out Ike. Ibeabuchi was just so slow.

 

Ike was not a massive hitter but he is one of the 2 guys to take out prime Byrd. Hell, even Wlad didn't take out prime Byrd, he took out the slower one in 2006.

Ike may not have had one punch power but he did something that Tua, Vitali and even Wlad failed to do - take out the slick durable Byrd.
