Ike Ibeauchi ruined Chris Byrd

I get a kick outta Byrd having uncontrollable slobber running outta his mouth as he's trying to convince the ref he fell, or that he's alright..............LOL

 

yawn, here we go again.

 

from the first knock down to the stoppage that was a man who defined the words "walk it off son" he was bounceing up and down trying to get his bearings he just couldnt do it his circuits were shorted

 

Byrd got knocked out, I think he had a pretty solid career after this fight though. Ike was solid but he is so overrated on this forum, he was definitely hittable, just average speed, and he could get winded.

 

pretty much

 

Lewis woulda smoked him :deal

 

Lewis a footnote? Pretty big friggin' footnote, even if he in this hypothetical situation gets beaned by Ibeabuchi in 2000.

People that talk about Ibeabuchi in near god-like glowing terms tend not to be people that have actually watched him fight, or anything more than his fights vs Tua and Byrd.

'God Ike' should not need 9 rounds to dispose of trialhorse Everton Davies. 'God Ike' should not have the unconvincing effort he had against Marion Wilson.

Stricly speaking career-wise, Ike not fighting on was the best thing that could've happened to him; it stopped him being exposed by the best guys. With his shorter range, I think guys like Lewis and Vitali would've been particularly bad matches for him.

 

the thread starter has over 9,000 posts , but has only seen about 4 boxing matches

 

agree 100%

take andrew golota...who was a beast after the first 2 bowe fights....
say he went to jail like ike.....golota would be a legend just like ike is. Ike could have very well went out and got blasted out in 1 round like lewis did to golota....but since he went out on a high note with his demolition of Byrd...he is forever given god like status by the fantasy land board warriors....the same ones who think if he got out of jail tomorrow he would ko the brothers and win a title
