http://boxingjunkie.usatoday.com/2016/12/01/izu-ugonoh-signs-haymon-boxing-next-great-heavyweight/ 30 is a bit too old imo.
He actually looks light on his feet and has decent speed. He also looks a little frantic and too busy. Who knows? How many of these can't miss future heavyweight champs have we seen miss?
I don't know he's a new one on me. I think Ruiz would annihilate Hughie , he dodged a bullet there ,imo
Solid boxer. A bit boring for my taste, but deserves to be fighting at a higher stage. He would be a good opponent for Wilder and Joshua.
Going the distance with Long doesn't insure a higher stage but at this point his physique and x-factor alone will sell tickets.
He has been well taken care of, that's for sure. His main weapon is a jab, his power is decent but not a huge puncher. He has one big flaw, he's open to right hands. I dont see a big future for him except as an opponent for Wilder, Joshua, Ortiz
We have seen a lot of Izu here in NZ. He will go far. A natural Top-5 heavyweight and will prove it in the next few years. Mark my words. A future belt-holder.
Ignore the tail of the tape, this was an error during broadcasting. This was Izu's last fight, on the Parker vs Dimitrenko fight. This content is protected
