Yes great fight. Ibeabuchi's workrate all during the fight and especially during the first 5 wa sabsolutely crazy.They broke the record for compubox counted punches in a HW fight. In the latter parts when Ike slowed down I thought Tua started to work well in the pocket and I thought he deserved the win.Could have gone either way. The scores were jokes though.

They went toe to toe and the fight was basically even. Anyone that can stand and slug with Tua is a monster.
I thought is was a great fight. I don't remember who I had winning but remember thinking it could've went either way.
Indeed it could have gone either way.I just thought(like most people0 that Tua did enough. The official scores however were jokes.
I for one still think that Tua has the physical tools to accomplish good things in this division, maybe even win a belt. He still has that granite chin and power is the last thing to go. The only thing that is missing is motivation. He needs to be waaaaay more active. No more fighting once every 1 or 2 years.
