Oleksandr Usyk vs Ike Ibeabuchi

[EdwardRevolver1993]

How do you see it plating out?

it's not inconceivable to me that ike coulda beat usyk, proving too strong with his powerful but educated pressure. could put usyk into a shell, and the tua fight showed a pretty good gas tank to keep up the agression. think of him as like a super powered chisora.

but i really needed to see more of him to be confident in pulling the trigger on him at this level. usyk just so much more tested and shows he can come out on top vs a range of styles, especially vs guys slower/less mobile than him, which ike was. i would feel most confident going usyk by close decision

We'll never know what Ike could've been. Maybe great; maybe at the end an also ran. Not enough to really make a guess here except maybe too big; too strong; too relentless.
