IBEABUCHI vs Chris BYRD | HEAVYWEIGHTS of The 90s | THE LAST GREAT ERA

  • 6 years ago
Ike “The President” Ibeabuchi vs. Chris Byrd On March 20, 1999. Ike Ibeabuchi and Chris Byrd would meet in a Heavyweight division where contenders were jockeying for a chance at the title.

At 26, Ibeabuchi (19-0, 14 KOs) had put himself on the map two years before in June of 1997. In a pitched battle against the always tough David Tua, The President proved he belonged in earning a unanimous decision. At 6’2”, Ibeabuchi owned a half inch advantage in height over Byrd. The real physical advantages were his raw power and 36-pound weight advantage. Now 28 and fighting at Heavyweight, Byrd (26-0, 14 KOs) was once a 165 pound Silver medalist in the 1992 Olympics. A slick boxer with lightning fast hands, Byrd could throw volleys of punches and frustrate opponents with his hand and foot speed.
