Ingemar over George Chuvalo.

Archie Moore was the best of them all, not sure he could win all the rounds
Likely would drop a decision to George Chuvalo after defeating
Jim Flynn and Bert Cooper.

The only real basis of Chuvalo defeating Moore. Is based on the Moore vs Durelle fights.
Durelle almost beat Moore, and Chuvalo is better than Durelle. But, with Archie's years of experience he could outfox them all except Johannsson

A temporarily sober Cooper over Stewart

The very durable Baer over Johansson

Cooper over Weaver

Mercer over Satterfield

Martin over Coatzee

George Chuvalo Vs Alex Stewart 12 rounds.

Chuvalo looks for the KO early, and finds Stewart in fron of him. Unable
to put Stewart away, Chuvalo begins to catch some heavy bombs from
Stewart who is able to land on the anvil like jaw of Chuvalo.

his stamina, Chuvalo manages to maul on the inside as Stewart reverts
to throwing a heavy jab and single blows.

The later rounds see's both men trade and then clinch. A grueling fight
with a lot of inside work.

Chuvalo MD 12.

Ike Ibeabuchi Vs Ingemar Johansson

Ingo starts from a crouch, staying low doing his best to work from behind
his jab to set up his right hand. Ike's left causes problems for Ingo early
on. In the second round, Ingo lands a right hand that stops Ike in his track's
but does not prevent Ike from landing heavy and damaging blows through
the Sweede's defences.

Ingo is floored from a flush one two combination in the fifth and there onwards
is on the back foot. A barrage of blows in the sixth see's the ref stepping in
to protect Ingo. A game and gallant Ingo was out gunned, but not completly
out classed by the bigger Ike.

RIP Ingo...

Ibeabuchi TKO 6.

Archie Moore Vs Mike Weaver

Weaver is on the hunt early and stuggles to land cleanly on the crafty Moore
who fights from inside of a shell. Giving up the early rounds, Moore is able to
set up a long term game of counter. Fighting from the ropes in the middle
rounds he is more and more effective with his right and uppercuts at the
hard hitting and aggressive Weaver.

that see's Weaver's power matched against moore's skills, counters and stamina.

Stage Three matches

Archie Moore (180lbs) Vs Ike Ibeabuchi (245lbs)

Mercer fades late after out-muscling the smaller Chuvalo in the early going. Mercer winds up with a SD. He really oughtta consider getting into better shape.

Moore survives a few troubling moments to completly box the crap out of Ibeabuchi.
Moore UD


Chuvalo could basically do everything Mercer did but with much greater stamina and better bodywork. Chuvalo is also stronger than the Marine who at 27 was fighting at 200 (when he was actually in shape) to win the HW Gold in Seoul. Chuvalo by a clear UD.

George Chuvalo Vs Ray Mercer

Both men go toe to toe in the centre of the ring, low blows and
hard hooks to the back of the neck are the order of the day from
Chuvalo, as Mercer starts to reply in kind.

Both men start to work the body hard after the 3rd round, many
shots banging onto the cup. Mercer is unable to maintain the
pace and starts to load up more and more on his shots after the
8th round. Heavy, clean shots land on both men's body and heads,
yet neither man shows signs of damage.

The last two rounds, see's Mercer attempt a rally, while Chuvalo
continues strong.

Chuvalo UD 12.

Archie Moore Vs Ike Ibeabuchi

on Moore as he rolls and covers up well. making Ike miss many shots, those
that do land, hit hard. The 2nd and 3rd rounds see's Moore slowly work
his counter fighting, fighting from his shoulders and off the ropes, the much
bigger Ike smothers him and bangs his body and back savagely.
The 4th round see's Moore land some quick and accurate counter right hands
that do little to rock Ike, but they score effectively.

The 5th round has Moore try to mix it up with Ike, he finds that he is able to
land easily on the big man. Ike catches an open Moore with a left hook that
twist's the Moongooses head. Moore goes down, but is up again at the count
of seven.

shots get through and put him down again. Moore is counted out.

Ibeabuchi KO 5.


Ike Ibeabuchi (247lbs) Vs George Chuvalo (218lbs) 15 rounds.

Ike begins the round behind his jab, and starts to find Chuvalo's chin.

to work his way on the inside.
The second and third finds Chuvalo making his way inside, where his
hard body shots set up some effective hooks up top. On the inside and up
close, Chuvalo is able to manhandle the bigger Ibeabuchi.

Heavy body blows and accurate head shots are taking their toll on Ibeabuchi
who has slowed up and is looking for the big and wild ko punch.

is playing counter fighter. Into the sixth round after eating a massive cross,
Chuvalo returns fire with a left hook of his own that lands clean. Flooring Ibeabuchi.

Ike stays down, up on his knee at seven, he stays there.
