Round 1

The ring is the minimumsize of a ring.
Ikeke jabbing
Neither have landed anything so far but Ikeke is a bit busier

10-10, typical 1st round, mostly jabbing the few times they tried power punches they didnt land.

Big shot from Abraham inside 20 seconds hurts Ikeke briefly and he looks unstady on his feet. Abraham commands the centre of the ring and there is some heavy exchanges with Abraham looking the stronger guy as the round comes to a close. Both men straight down to business, good round
Abrahams 10 - 9

Abraham bosses the round as he looks tight defensibly and is catching Ikeke as he comes in. Ikeke was caught several times against the ropes during the middle of the round but wasn't hurt
Abraham 10 - 9

Abraham using his left hook a bit more.
Ikeke still only throwing those sloppy jabs
Looks like a good Abraham hook (bad camera angle)
Couple of good rights by Abraham to close the round.

Abrahem pushes Ikeke to the floor to which the crowd roars. No Knockdown though blatant push. Abraham looks the sharper of the two at this stage and throws his combos with such menace in every shot. Quiet round with Abraham the busier
Abraham 10 - 9
Abraham 30 - 27

Round 4

small ref by btw
Ikeke have opened up a bit more.

IMO Ikeke needs to use his right more often

40-37 Abraham

At the star of the round Ikeke is not using his reach advantage and jab and is fighting on the inside with Abraham but Ikeke starts jabbing more as the round goes on.Abraham is loading up too much and Ikeke picks him off but Ikeke gets sloppy moving in close and gets caught by a three punch combo. Ikeke takes the round
Ikeke 10 - 9
Abraham 39 - 37

Ikeke stopped by a hellacious stoppage against the ropes

Round 5

Ulli Wegner not happy with Abraham, telling him to be more serious.
How the hell Abraham can land jabs without Ikeke I dont know.
Ikeke in big trouble, Abraham lands lots of power shots, Ref stops it

Abraham TKO5

Ikeke not good enough for this level IMO

Abraham nailed Ikeke by a huge left hand and reins in the punches as Ikeke neglects his jab and tries to outslug him. Both men throw huge right hands and miss and as both wind up left hooks Abraham nails Ikeke with a huge shot. Ikeke is helpless against the ropes as Abraham is getting hit by several punches and the ref jumps in between them as Ikeke slumps to the floor
