    Best case, this ends up with Benn still on his feet having been beaten and giving one of his emotional post fight interviews in the ring with his hands on his hips.

    Reckon Bika might take a dive. I’ll be putting some money on Benn for that reason.

    This is probably possible. Or maybe told to take it easy.

    He won't fight more than once

    And yes he will win this fight. Jeff Fenech says he bettered Bika every time in sparring

    I,ll have money on benn at they prices tbh. Got a feeling bika might be even more finished than benn at this stage. Fighters do age worse thsn others. Got a feeling the agent/promoters probably done their homework on current bika otherwise it is crazy.

    Yeah we get it. Think everyone thinks its madness. What can you do tho. The guy still wants to fight. Think we,d all prefer if he stayed retired...but he looks hell bent on fighting....i say he should take on stiffs see how far he can go. Start off small....so the risk can be assesed as opposed to sticking him in with bika.

    Could this break 5,000 PPV buys? Surely not.

    It's one fight, not a career rebirth

    In that case it just looks a financial decision. Benn should not be fighting at all. But came across to me the guy still genuinely wants to fight. One off match against a serious fighter in bika seems a lot more dangerous that fighting stiffs that he,d still probably beat comfortably at 55.

    He should be blocked from taking bika on tho even tho i think he could even win. Thinking can get people seriosly hurt in a boxing ring tho. Should need to prove first he can still fight competetively. Although over forty should be carefully matched not chucked in against bika to see what happens.

    Again tho it is madness.

    Not sure about that (money). I read a thing from a couple years ago where it was talking about his property investments in Majorca. He has or had 6 of them and they're not cheap over there.
