With the backing of Al Hamon I wouldn't be surprised if Izu gets more opportunities at a higher level.
He's like 31 years old and he just got knocked out of the ring by a really out of shape version of a guy who got 7-0'd and ktfo by AJ (who everyone on here was criticizing for even fighting him)
Just accept that one of your boys has found his level, he's going to be a chinny, no stamina gatekeeper who will be in entertaining fights at the C grade level.
I don't think "he has found his level", the fact is he was looking sharp, and had full control over Breazeale. He saw red when he got a couple of good rights through and went for the KO, gassed and was wide open. While I never thought Izu could make it all the way to holding a belt, he still could be there or thereabouts if he has a couple of followup wins from this point on.
Whyte is a perfect example of getting back on the horse, and is being touted to fight Ortiz soon.
I just don't see it. If i was asked to look on the bright side however, they need to take the next year to put izu in 3-4 fights with guys such as dominic guinn, that guy hughie fury beat over 12 who i forget his name, fred kassi, sherman williams. those types. He needs to go 12 rounds several times before they step him back up.
