Comments Thread For: Izu Ugonuh: I Just Got Tired; I'm Still a Dangerous Man to Fight

is he?

he's listed as 6'3 in that article...but listed as 6'5 everywhere else?

I believe so.
I don't think he moved upto HW full-time until a few yrs back where he must of been around 27 at the time. He's heavily muscled but I don't think he's naturally very large. He seems to of put on a lot of muscle in recent times.

I'd speculate he was closer to 6ft3 than 5. Purely speculation on my part though.
I've seen him in camp with Wladimir and he appears a good few inches shorter

Stop you fake scientists did Evander with similar composition ever have stamina issues especially in the 3rd round! The moment, poor gameplan, zero d, and letting Brazeale impose his size got to him no excuses you let one go

Evander is the most blatant PED cheat the sport of Boxing has ever seen. Ridiculous comparison.

It's obvious stuff...the reason his stamina is so poor is because of his jacked physique. Now unless you want him to start taking performance enhancing drugs then there's only so much he'll be able to improve it whilst remaining a clean athlete.

Who can ever forget Evan Fields!! I think thats the name he went by when the PED's were delivered to his PO box or home.

People ar completely ignoring he went from fighting guys not even in top 100 to a guy who fought guys like Mansour and Joshua. This is simply logic that it was a poor decision making again and it cost him and Barry along with Haymon who went out of his way to sighn him. He will have a good career if he is managed better ,but Barry isnt the best guy for that and his own focus on parker is also a factor here.

Izu will knock out alot of guys its one fight.

Even after he had hurt and knocked Breazeale down in the 4th, I didn't like his body language in between the 4th and 5th rds. He looked gassed and disappointed he hadn't gotten Breazeale out of there yet. Then he came out for the 5th and his legs looked sluggish and he was just kind of lazily walking around the ring and I knew he was in trouble. Wasn't at all surprised to see Breazeale stop him at that point. Was a great, great fight and the crowd absolutely loved it.

Yeah...and people just brushed it under the carpet.

I loved Evander growing up but i just can't respect any man that cheats in a Boxing ring. Cycling, Swimming, running etc is bad, and would be awful for the guys who are clean but in Boxing it's just something else....crosses a line. You are punching someone else in the fcking head. Not running faster than them or cycling faster than them.

PED's in Boxing should be jail worthy. It's akin to attempted murder in my opinion...it's that bad. Should be an instant life ban for anyone who is caught and doesn't have blatant proof that it wasn't intentional.

Thats a great point! In tons of other sports, like Track and Field and the others you mentioned, no one gets badly injured by a competitor cheating with PEDS, other than emotionally if they lose. But at least they dont risk serious injury. But PED's detected in boxers should receive serious punishment legally over their committing illegal PED use and too many barely get a slap on the wrist.

Agree sir...imagine all the fighters from years gone past who are suffering from brain damage and all sorts of other problems at the hands of PED cheats? It's disgusting to think about and all i can say is i really feel for all the clean fighters in the sport.

There's most likely many PED cheats around currently and who have retired now....i just hope it eats away at their conscience all the damage they caused other fighters due to the illegal substances they took to take their fighting to that level. Can they even sleep at night believing deep down they were true warriors? Would they have been able to fight the way they did without the PED's? Questions i hope they ask themselves when they lay their head down at night.

He's for sure dangerous regardless of the recent L.
