I watched the bout over 10 times just due to the sheer excitement of a classic HW barnburner matchup. It was a close fight, but I had Tua up by two rounds. That's the closest that Ike ever came to hitting the canvas. Let's put it this way: It was like a Barrera vs. Morales at HW. Only in the Tua/Ibeabuchi fight, the punches thrown in the bout broke the record. Absolutely insane fight. Unfortunately that Tua of old is long gone. If he would have kept his weight at 220-227, he would have definitely won a title.
Shit, Tyson was scared shitless of Tua. He even admitted it in an interview.
