OK, seeing as there are a lot of hypothetical matchup threads from the past showing up, and also the 90's thread got me thinking... Who would win this one? The more refined and classically skilled Bruno, with his solid fundamentals, grade A jab and power - OR the more raw, reckless, but irrepressible Ibeabuchi? Maybe neither man were elite in their era, but against each other it would've been a war and very tough to pick. There are solid arguments for either man winning this one.
Ibeabuchi in his absolute prime would have stopped prime Bruno in the mid to late rounds. Bruno was very good against a certain level and classical style of opponent, but very poor when he stepped outside of that in terms being able to get through a period of being hurt and not getting stopped. No doubt that Ibeabuchi would have caught Bruno, he would have gone into freeze mode, and been stopped on his feet not firing back. A classical Bruno stoppage
