Sakio Bika VS Kelly Pavlik

[buster007]

c'mon experts, how's this one turn out?

[JOSEY WALES]

Pavlik batters shite into the dirty fucker but not before Pavlik cops a hiding off Froch . That is all .

[StiffJab]

Bika is a hard ask for anybody and I think he gives Pavlik problems. He walks through shots with his brick head but Pavlik lands the cleaner shots to a UD

Bikas inactivity will always hinder his chances at the highest level Jab but that said Kelly Pavlik ain't what he used to be after his well documented battle with the bottle so Bika may get the chance to trouble him but they would both lose badly to Froch , Froch wants Pavlik & Kessler in Nottingham then travel to Montreal for the Bute rematch , if he can do that sucsesfully then he can retire a happy man with the respect of the entire boxing world .

Very true. Saiko did well to get so many title shots but his inbetween fights are usually extremely undermatched and one sided fights.

I think froch already has the boxing worlds respect and he is one of my favorites getting around today. How well received is he in the UK compared to Khan?

I hope froch gets the Kessler rematch for redemption Josey, the first fight was a spectacle. I think Pavliks biggest problem is he owns and operates a bar

[JOSEY WALES]

If i'm totally honest here Jab i can't see how Bika has got all these title fights in the first place , as for how Froch is received here in the UK ? well to tell the truth mate he is pretty much unheared of where as Khan is very well known , Kessler beats Froch again imo Montoya has got him to the statndard where Froch won't be able to show him anything different .

[realtyson]

Bika wins that fight ... Too strong

[swilson120]

Bika for me over the drunk

This version of Pavlik is the underdog

Sober Pavlik would be a betting favourite imo

[buster007]

the type of fight pavlik needs?

[ALTogethernow]

Pavlik utterly destroys Bika, totally different planet of skills, power, ability and class

[Sox]

Bika beats Pavlik now.
Would be a good fight too.

[dominator]

Good fight for both fighters.

Bika is always competitive but never seems to get the win over the first tier guys.

Pavlik is probably a second tier fighter now but still dangerous and would probably head into the fight as the betting favourite.

At this stage of Pavliks career, Bika gives Pavlik a hard time. Pavliks defence troubles bikas Messy come forward style, which he makes up for with pressure and awkward angles. Tough one to pick, but i would edge Pavlik in just.
