Are you serious? Ike anesthetizes Tommy. I’m talking about a JMM vs Manny type of KO where if everyone wanted to quietly walk out of the arena without waking the KO’d fighter, he would still be sleeping 8 hours later.
Tommy punches harder and is faster. Tua didn't really catch Ike with a true full leveraged flush shot and combinations, so who knows would Ike survive if Tommy catches him with his devastating combination right uppercut - left hook. Ray Mercer was one of those rare fighters that could, I'm not convinced Ike could. Still, I favor Ike but give Morrison chance in the early stage of the fight.
Mercer and Purrity were both ultra durable and both ate plenty flush from Morrison. I think Ike's chin was quite sturdy and he could weather whatever short term dangers Morrison might be able to put him in.
It looks like a really bad matchup for Tommy. Ike soaked up some bombs from Tua and barely flinched. He's also showed he actually a decent defensive heavyweight and has plenty of power of his own. We didn't see a lot of him but he showed me enough to think he'd be terrible for Tommy.
I can see Tommy jumping on him and KO'ing Ike early. But if he does not, it will be a tough fight for him. I will be the lone dissenter and pick Morrison in a KO, as he had the power and the combinations to hurt anyone.
