Ike looked very slow but he is still big and powerful. Obviously Whyte should be heavily favored but if there's anyone in the top 20-30 that Ike could beat it's him.
F*** me, do people really think a 52 year old Ibeabuchi who basically hasn't been active since LAST CENTURY would beat Whyte??!!
Whyte would be big time favourite of course, but Ike’s hands still looked heavy yesterday and if he could summon the uppercut he landed on Byrd about 26 years ago, you never know.
Whyte would annihilate him. The Ibeabuchi of today makes Whyte look really athletic and sturdy on his feet.
Id actually like to see that. Chisora might be the perfect combination of caveman style and physically declined to allow Ibeabuchi to win rounds
I've only seen some very, VERY crappy footage of Ike's fight but I just don't see how he overcomes even this version of Whyte. He looks good for 52, but his legs are gone, he was throwing one shot at a time and looked very hittable.
Always makes me laugh when people genuinely think a 50+ fighter can come back and beat anyone with a pulse. The reality is they can't. Holyfield and Tyson are two examples that spring to mine recently. Old age catches up to us all, including the greats (which Ike isnt).
