There's still no one who wants to fight Sakio. USA based Aussie Matchmaker Stuart Duncan has advised Sakio at various stages of his career and spent time with him LA 2 weeks ago stated Sakio wants to fight the winner of Froch v. Taylor or a rematch with Bute. Hed love to fight Kessler but is dubious about travelling to Germany where its impossible to get a decision. Hed fight Kessler in a heartbeat in any country other than Germany...the same with Balszay. Jeff Lacy is another on the radar but were doubtful anything will come from those enquiries after Sakio systematically destroyed Peter Manfredo in 3 rounds something he couldnt do in 10 rounds. According to Sam Soliman who faced Sakio twice Sakio is a monster with a thunderous punch and will be a nightmare for anyone in the division. Mundine continues to dodge the best SMW in Australia. Sakios promoter Contender Executive Director Jeff Wald confirmed that it appears theres a lack of takers and went on to say Sakio struggles in his home country where no one will fight him we have challenged pretender Anthony Mundine who Sakio virtually chased out of the division and wants to know nothing about him I have spoken to Golden Boy regarding a potential showdown between Bernard Hopkins Jeff Lacey or Librado Andrade, and no takers there either. .......................................... Not sure about Andrade...Andrade offered Bika a fight last year, but for very, very little money. If anyone will face Bika, it will be Andrade. Either that, or he'll have to fight another eliminator for the IBF to get a shot at the title. Why aren't Ward and Dirrell stepping up to the plate and taking on a real challenger, before talking about their readiness to fight for titles, etc.?:huh
Looks like promoters found an easy way to promote certain fighters after the Margarito fiasco, just label them the most feared beasts on the planet.
If you were handling a young guy coming up, would you let him fight Bika, if you thought you could find a way around it:nono
No. I wouldn't put my fighter in with Bika even if I managed Kessler, Bute, Andrade or Taylor, nevermind anyone else...unless I really wanted to prove something to the hard-core fans who know the score...:think
Bika needs to move to the states and start fighting here if he wants to get those fights, and if Kessler calls he needs to get his ass to Germany. When you're not that well known and you don't have a belt, you take any shot you can get no matter what.
You think Dirrell and Ward would go anywhere near Bika if he came to the States? No one would fight him, man! He's no Oganov...or Hanshaw...
Well yeah, the dudes a brawler and a dirty fighter. He headbutts a lot and likes to fight after the bell and has no regards for the rules when hes losing a fight. **** Left hook, the scorpion is the mike tyson of the supermiddleweight division.
yeah kessler is from denmark lol, think ya ****ed up there. Kessler would maul bika for 12 rounds long just like Calzaghe did.
Kessler would win, but any fight involving Bika is tricky and dangerous because of how wild he is. Could open up a cut, etc.
