    Correct.

    He went life and death with the One trick Pony Tua........who was outboxed by ATG's Jeff Wooden, Glasschin Oleg and punching bag Izon......and still the fight could have gone either way, a Tua win would have been totally acceptable.

    He looked foolish aginst Byrd and if Byrd would have shown him more respect instead of clowning around trying to be cute on the ropes he would have been handed his first loss.

    Just look at some of his earlier fights against Tomatoecans.......he looks very.very ordinary.

    IMO , he would have been the typical ABC beltholder and get beaten by the prime talent.......and Bowe was definetly a prime talent, short time span , yes, but incredible potential .

    Ike is far too overrated.

    He outworked tua and blasted out a cocky byrd.

    Two top contenders, granted, but it's only two performances of note.

    Bowe will push his **** in on the inside.

    All i can say, this fight would have been well worth the money!!!!!

    Then again Ike didnt fight anybody like Bowe.

    Bowe isnt a fat, slow plod plod Tua

    Very interesting fight IMO

    Bowe had a terrible defense as shown by Golota and others but Ike to me is not really proven, he had a nice victory over Byrd and a close fight over Tua to prove he could take it, although I think Tua edged it. I would not be surprised if IKE wins and would lean towards him but also would not be surprised if Bowe takes the UD
