Wladimir Klitschko 9-3-1 who had only won 3 of I assis last 6 outings
Mike Tyson 19-5 and had only won 2 of his last 6 fights
Shannon Briggs 11-7 and only won 2 of his last 6
Deontay Wilder 6-6 who had only won 2 of his last 6 and was coming of 4 consecutive losses
Tyson Fury 20-8-1 who had lost 2 of his previous 6 fights.
David Tua 22-21-1 who had won 2 of his last 6
All of the above went onto greatness in varying degrees.
All of the above were active - not coming off an 8 month lay off
Why should Izu be doing it any differently to those guys?
His opponent has had one less fight than Izu and his solitary loss was his 2nd fight against an opponent who was 16-0 (no shame in this loss). 2 fights ago he KO'd an opponent 9-1
Compare the records of Ramirez's opponents versus izu's and there isnt a whole lot of difference.
The reason i dont post a whole lot in here is because of some of the bullshit responses. Do your research or ask questions and i will provide you with rationale. Izu will shake of his rust and we are negotiating some more meaningful fights for him as he is now 16-0 and needs to be stepping up the level of opposition to prepare him for what lays ahead.
Some of the negative responses amuse me .. let me ask you this. How many fights have you matched? How many boxers have you guided into world title contention? How many of the knockers had a successful fight career and had to work with a matchmaker who knew what he was doing (in other words you're basing your opinions on experience) .. I would suggest most are keyboard critics with plenty of time on their hands.
Another way of looking at it is Izu has been a pro for nearly 6 years and probably isnt worthy of a top 100 ranking. Thats crazy all the other great fighters youve mentioned apart from Briggs, (i cant see how you think he was great). were way more advanced. Izu's opponent is awful, no two ways about it, you saying he has a good record is just nonsense. Have you even remotely heard of anybody he has fought? This guy will last as long (maybe) as the last two guys you found from wherever. i assumed the reason you dont post on here so often was simply out of embarrassment for ducos awful shows (although i actually did enjoy the last one). Morgan/George is a nice fight, 1 out of 6 aint bad.
