    Since I literally can't get any responses to any of my other threads, here's a heavyweight fight involving a much discussed "could have been" fighter.

    Love the stuff you've been posting, don't think that it's not been appreciated, just haven't had time to really digest some of the longer fights. Ibeabuchi was fearsome, for sure, that last left slaughtered Delgado's liver, it looked.

    Thank you, I actually really appreciate that. It's the little things that keep me editing this **** and uploading it. :lol:

    Ike was a great body puncher (for a heavyweight) with a great work rate to boot.... A real killer combination for a heavyweight fighter and like you said, the way he tenderizes this poor guy to the body is a sight to behold.

    Being dealt the same cosmically bad "life" cards for prolonged periods of time (years!) is my expertise. My girlfriend says I must have done something terrible in a "past life" to have such bad luck. :lol:
    Ahh, I hear you. It's hard to know sometimes, I want to assume someone out there is watching, listening, digesting, blah blah blah. But if you shout into the void and don't hear anything back you have to assume the worst.... :lol:

    Amazingly, the quality of the footage makes him look even scarier... Something I didn't think was possible. I do question whether Ike would have gone down the same road had he avoided Tua. Some of the punishment dished out in that fight was incredible. The fact that neither fighter gave an inch or showed signs of being really badly hurt throughout detracts from what a brutal fight it was. I don't doubt Ike had a few screws loose already, but that fight definitely sped his mental decline up.

    Keep up the good work as well mate, I'm being exposed to more and more fighters on a daily basis because of you and many others on this forum.... Well those that aren't heavyweight anyway, feels like we've covered every champion and top 10 contender for the last 120 years atleast 10 times over :p

    Good stuff, I was down when I heard the crime he committed. And that he got worse psychologically locked up.
    And as stated above...his work rate with Tua was awesome.

    I'm cautious quoting/replying.. I'm a bit too old to get into those dumb mofo dont know boxing type responses...gets me down. I don't want to critique the poster or their knowledge I just want to talk boxing!
