Ibeabuchi walks a old flabby Holmes into the ropes, and this time Holmes can't say "I'm not Tommy Morrison!"
Ibeabuchi by brutal stoppage. Remember he is one of the only 2 guys to stop prime Chris Byrd. Mercer, despite being a good puncher, just didn't have the same finishing urgency. Once Ike had you hurt, it was all over. Holmes won't be able to old man Ike. Ike has too many punch variations - left hook, right hand, left uppercut, right uppercut etc. for Holmes to defend against all those variations. Ike by mid round stoppage.
