Ike Quartey vs Simon Brown

Prime for prime who wins?

I think this is a matchup where the number of rounds are everything.

I see Ike building an early lead, and Brown coming on strong down the stretch. Ike may survive a late KD and edge out a 12 rounder, but I see Brown stopping him in a 15 rounder.

 

Did Brown ever fought a 15 rounder?? He was firmly in the 12 rounds era afaik

 

Stopped Tyrone Trice in the 14th round of their first fight.

 

Not really a fan of comparing 12 vs 15 rounds. It's easy to see a guy with somewhat suspect stamina and then automatically conclude the longer a fight is the worse it would be for them.

It makes some logical sense, but it ignores the fact if somebody has never once had to do 15 rounds they simply don't train for it and also fight accordingly. What if before 15 rounders championship bouts were always 18 rounds?

 

Dont only that, they would fight at a different pace

 

Ike wins but Brown at his best gives him absolute hell.
