Ibeabuchi is not a good example to prove Byrd is vulnerable, because Ike was an exceptional fighter.
He could have fought brutal wars against Lennox Lewis and the Klitschko bros. and maybe even changed heavyweight history.
The entire last decade of HW boxing would have been completely different if Ike Ibeabuchi was never imprisoned.
The way he baited an undefeated Byrd into big shots revealed his intelligence in the ring.
His ability to shake off an undefeated Tua's power shots for 12 rounds proved he had a champion's heart and a chin of steel.
The amount of punches he threw per round was INSANE for a heavyweight. Lennox Lewis and Vitali Klitschko probably would've ended up in the ring with Ike, and it would've been a very hard night for each of them to say the least.
Reggie Strickland is this crazy black guy that is sometimes at Spencer's Stadium Tavern in Indianapolis. He'll let you punch him in the chest as hard as you can if you buy him a drink.
Chimpanzees have very dense and long muscle fibers, humans have softer and smaller fibers. Even if a chimp looks small and skinny, its little muscles are actually stronger than a human who is five times its size.
A gorilla is like a huge chimp. They could smash up cars and tear off the arms of a human if they wanted to.
You should use the whole body effectively. But the leg muscles are the largest in the body, so obviously you want to transfer as much energy from the legs and hips as possible when throwing a punch. Bruce Lee's one inch punch is a good example, his arm barely moves, but you can see his leg movement just before the impact.
Perez is playing counterpuncher but he is lacking the speed to pull it off effectively.
He should trap Inca in the corner and unload!
If this fight stays in the middle of the ring, Maicelo will take it.
