Nice To see It on Classic lastnight.If there was a Peak Tua..This was It IMO.He just seemed to go downhill with subpar fights and Disappeared after what was a Very close tough fight.
And to think someone saw Ike as a beatable "mark" with a Minimal 16-0 record was insane.He was a physical dynamo and really displayed diverse and very refined skills.That Jab early was Great.
Also I had never seen Fight with Blow by Blow team of John Scully and Brian kenny.Scully always seems to make key points (Tua waiting and punching in 1's and 2's).A big difference from original call on HBO with human thesaurus Lampley shouting and Merchant.
Davis vs. Breland Is one that "got" me hooked early.It really was a brutal fight and a highlight reel finish.I had forgotten exactly how Beat-up and Bruised Davis was ,Right after Dierdorf lamented "He has not thrown any rights",the only one of the 9th found its detonation point....KTFO Indeed...Nice fight.Originally Posted by LEGION
