I think you're right about a single punch most likely not being able to take Pascal out. In regards to Campillo, he fought at a more sustained pace than i think Pascal can maintain. I'd also think he'd outbox Pascal as well.
Been hoping this fight would come off, its got action written all over it. I think Bika wins this fight. I 've picked against Stevenson in a couple of his last fights but Bika is the toughest guys he's faced. I think Bika has the chin and toughness to survive Stevenson's early aggreession and he takes it to Stevenson in the second half. The winner of this becomes Froch's mandatory(I think). Don't know if Froch ever fights one of these guys but thats another very good fight if he does. Excellent card.
I think Bika was the 1st guy who Accepted the eliminator bou with Stevenson. Not so sure they picked him, nor would they have after Bika's destruction of Dyah Davis.
yeah, no way he stops bika. in fact, i'm definitively picking bika to win by knockout or tko. bika's chin has never been dented, let alone shattered, and he's physically the strongest fighter in the super middleweight division. dyah davis is obviously no adonis stevenson, but bika showed no decline whatsoever in his destruction of of davis. I see bika getting to stevenson and stopping him.
VERY interesting. :think With his power, Stevenson can probably beat a lot more top guys than Bika can (ie, I'd give him a puncher's chance against Bute, whereas Bika with his "merely" heavy but not dynamite hands would lose by UD again in ten rematches out of ten) H2H, however...Sakio can probably stand up to whatever Adonis can land flush on him...and then there's the problem that Sakio's an awkward clingy rough-housing messy pain in the ass to fight and doesn't let guys get off cleanly at their preferred range.. Sakio's "merely" heavy hands should be enough to check the chin of Adonis, who carries that albatross around his neck of having been kayoed (yes, legitimately) by Darnell Boone... :think Stevenson can outpoint him if he adopts a "slick and safe" strategy and doesn't get it in his head that he can bang with Bika...but then, it's a gamble that judges will reward his pot shotting if they favor blind aggression.
