Oh, I thought you were talking about Ike Quartey. I wasn't aware of Ibeabuchi until after he went to prison, but apparently he kidnapped some kid and got in trouble then raped a woman and went to prison (I might have the order reversed). But he was up for parole in '06, I believe and was denied. Apparently he has some pretty warped ideas on women (something to the effect that they were on earth to serve him). I read somewhere that he's now nuttier than a fruitcake and even if he did get out he wouldn't be much in boxing.Quote:

He's done some very bad things and doesn't deserve parole today, tomorrow, next week, next year, or EVER if I had my way.
The whole lunatic thing got to him after awhile. Its interesting to think what he could have done but he was bound to lose it at some point, he wasn't like kind of crazy he was like scratching his forearms till they bleed because he's trying to get to the probe aliens had implanted in him crazy.
He was good though, never know how good obviously.

Then after I told his Mother I decided it would not be the best idea and cancelled the interview I was accused of being in on it and it was all a set up to derail Ike's chances at parole.....
...dang you were going to do an interview with him? I had no idea.
Even if he got out 5 years ago he wouldn't be in fighting shape and he wouldn't be boxing, he'd be a Kimbo Slice or a really Old Mike Tyson or a Butterbean some sort of Circus sideshow freak for idiots to gawk at.
Ike weighs at LEAST 280 now a days
I don't blame you Daxx for pulling out of the interview, some things are better left alone.Quote:

I rather know Ike Quartey is at
It's a thread from a new member, better to leave it here so that people can get to know her and help with her question, rather than mix it in with the old threads where it will get lostQuote:

I think the guy is a nutcase. I was reading an interview he gave a year or so ago and he talks about how he is innocent, views himself as a political prisoner and compares himself to Biblical figures.
Who knows what he would have become, but its too late for him now. He'll be damn near 40 when he gets out IF HE'S LUCKY ENOUGH to get out that soon. All that time living on prison food in a cell hasn't been kind to him physically as evident by the pics that have circulated from parole hearings.
