    Louis defends his title against Tua and Ibeabuchi rather than Galento and Buddy Baer. Does he make it?

    Louis bears them both. Tua was too one dimensional, slow, and has a low work rate. Tua might get a knockdown on Joe, but other than that would take a beating against Louis.

    Ibeabuchi would have a better chance against Louis than Tua, but I still see him losing to Louis, since Louis would be lighting him up with combinations and Louis liked slow heavy guys like Ibeabuchi, since they were easy targets unlike highly mobile guys like Conn or Walcott.
