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.
Stamina should be relatively easy to work on. Izu definitely showed some decent skills in the ring, but he's never going to be a world beater with that chin imo. Breazeale does not hit hard compared to the elite guys.
Not that kind of stamina, no doubt in my mind that Izu is an athlete in the gym, bet he can spar 15 rounds no problem. That's lights on bug time stamina, you can't do anything about it, he dropped his tank after 2 rounds, nervous energy. Some people just don't have it in the ring.
The same thing happened in the Takam fight, difference was, Parker has a much better chin so got through it. Parker showed better stamina in the Ruiz fight, I'm sure Izu can get used to the bright lights if he continues to fight under them.
