Post Tua, probably not. Pre Tua, I think Ike stops him. He was much more than a crude slugger and I doubt AJ has the stamina to stay the entire fight.

Became a trainer in Dallas, TX, after his career was over. Notables trained include: Ike Ibeabuchi, Kirk Johnson, and Quincy Taylor. Acted in John Houston's boxing movie "Fat City" (1972), playing a non-boxer and having important scenes with Stacy Keach and Susan Tyrell.Ivich likes this.
