Ike Ibeabuchi versus these 4 losing Frazier challengers, Ellis,Bonavena, Foster, Ali [197,1] 15 rds Outcomes? I've done a thread on Ike v Quarry elsewhere.
Foster - Goes the way he always did when fighting a top heavy. Ellis - Ike finds him awkward to deal with at first but stops him late. Bonavena - Good rugged fight. Have to think about this one more. Ali'71 - Muhammad outboxes Ibeabuchi and and comfortably outpoints him or stops him late. Ike would be outpunched and outboxed from the off.
He stops Ellis and Foster. He gives Bonavena a good beating but might not stop him. He gives Ali a better than expected fight but loses by decision.
I'll bite, he could beat all of them. In reality 3-1 is the best I can see him doing and giving him the benefit of the doubt, that's likely what he would achieve.
Take away Ali,...Bonavena was by far the toughest and most troublesome of the remaining three, and would give Ike his toughest go....forcing Ike to go 12 rounds for a decision.....Ike stops Foster, who would revert to the form he displayed vs top heavies....and Ellis does good until he wilts in about the 9th round...a tko with referee rescuing Jimmy. Of course Ike loses to Ali, but is never hurt,just soundly outpointed.
Ike beats all four of them. Foster, Ellis and Bonavena fairly easily, a little trouble against Ali, just a little before Ike pounds him into submission.
Ibeabuchi gets better the further away he gets from his career. At this rate he'll be the greatest of all time in 6 months or so.
