    Just rewatched Ike Ibeabuchi vs David Tua

    on ESPN classics. Damn what a great fight. Ibeabuchi would have been something had he not lost his marbles.

    Great fight, though I had Tua winning. His fight vs Bird is also a classic.

      Nobody takes that many flush bombs from Tua and walk away okay.

      His screws were knocked loose that fight for sure.

      You can tell everytime Tua hit him. He felt it. He just manned through it.

        I don't think ever had his marbles. He had some very severe mental issues...

        Too bad though, he was a hell of a fighter and would've made the HW division interesting to watch.

            Classic fight. Probably top 5 heavyweight fight ever.

            We'll never get that from the Clitschjoke's.

              I dont remember Tua winning or the fight being that close to me. I thought Ike put on a Masterful performance and clearly won the fight. Maybe I have to watch it again

                Those are the type of fights that I just can't score.

                  Would love too see Ike around today,i think he would beat Wlad but imagine the wars he would have with Vitali,their styles would gel too make a cracking scrap imo
