Antwun Echols vs Kingsley Ikeke

[vizcaya]

I have not seen Ikeke fight, so I am not sure what he will bring. I have seen Echols fight, and he can fight a rough fight. Echols will need to muscle Ikeke to the ropes, and keep the fight close. Ikeke may come into the ring nervous being that this is a step up in comp. It would be wise for Echols to attack early, and look to hurt Ikeke early. This fight is a crossroads for both fighters. The only way both fighters will lose, is if the fight is boring. Ikeke needs to be explosive, and show he has got what it takes to be at the top of the rankings, Echols needs to be focused and use his experience to make Ikeke fight a Echols fight.

It's Devin The Dude....rapper out of Houston. He's pretty good and apparently likes to break-dance.


To sample his music, download the songs Doobie Ashtray and Motha...they are both very good.

ive heard little bushwick bill is a great break dancer and has been in numerous competitions... it think it would be pretty funny to see

These guys have sparred:

Echols and Ikeke are not strangers. They sparred together several years ago, and their have been many rumors that Ikeke broke Echols' ribs in those sessions and that Echols was planning on getting revenge in this fight. With Ikeke, however, he is not one to do a lot of talking outside the ring.
"He is good," states Ikeke, "but I will do my talking inside the ring. When I sparred with him it was not a problem. He is coming to fight anyway, it does not matter. It is up to me to make him fight my fight, and not let him fight his. It is funny, because at that time he said he would never fight me, but now he has too."
So if Echols claimed he would never fight Ikeke after their sparring sessions, why has he had a change of heart now? There could be many reasons. Some believe that Echols needs the money, but Ikeke feels that Echols is trying to use him to make a statement.
"It is hard to say, maybe he wants to make a statement," says Ikeke. "You never know, all I know is it is going to be a good fight."

I hope Ikeke loses, he is seriously one of the most boring fighters I've ever seen.
