Izzy won't be able to use his reach to control the fight like everyone else at 185. Izzy won't have the striking IQ advantage like he has over everyone else at 185. Izzy's feints won't be as effective. Alex won't be intimidated by the counter threat that had guys like Costa and Romero turn into statues. Alex will force Izzy to actually fight and since Izzy doesn't have the power to put down Alex, let alone most of the guys in his division, it's safe to say this is a nightmare match up for Izzy and if he finds a way to win I'll be really fucking impressed.

It's not a nightmare matchup. In fact, Israel is favored in the matchup. Alex is very hittable and susceptible to a point fighting strategy. If Israel remains disciplined and avoids the main power shot of Alex he'll almost surely win.
 
What is with all the ice talk? I thought i was coming into another Elsa joke.
 
Izzy needs this, we need somebody who will bring the fight to him. It’s not like he doesn’t have power, we’ve seen him finish people, we’ll never get an entertaining fight out of him against a tentative opponent.

I thought Cannonier would be more aggressive since this was likely his only chance at a title, but he just wasn’t.
 
Looking forward to it.. Pereira has the pedigree to deal with whatever Izzy brings.

He will make Izzy adjust and do something Izzy won't be comfortable.

Izzy's point style strategy only works so well because he has such long reach. Izzy won't be able to to do it as well with Alex. Izzy will be more hittable without the reach advantage

Yea but Alex has like 2 shots he can KO people with, Israel is good enough to beat him if he remains disciplined.
