Bika is a dirty ****, knocked him down then paused for a second, cocked his hand back and knocked him out while he was on his knees. Very similar to Abraham-Dirrell.
Any later and the punch would land tomorrow. IBF is wide open for Sherro IMO. Mendy would be a great fight for him.
Jean Paul Mendy Wins by Disqualification Over Sakio Bika by Lem Satterfield - 31st June 2010 This content is protected Referee Joe Cortez determined that Bika had fouled Mendy in the fight, which took all of 89 seconds to complete. "I'm really disappointed. I was excited. I never saw that his knees were on the ground," said Bika. "I wasn't necessarily looking for him on the canvas. I'm really upset. I wanted to be in the big fights, but now, obviously, I'm taking a step backward." Mendy was picked up off of the canvas and recuperated on a stool, where he was examined by ringside physicians. Mendy left the ring on his own power, but was taken to a local hospital as a precaution. "The rules clearly state that if you're hurt, and you want to go down, you can go down on one knee. If you follow the rules, then you don't expect someone to hit you when you're down, so of course, he was not expecting that," said Michael Bazan, a member of Mendy's promotional team. "The rules are the rules, and everyone has to follow them. So we're happy that they did call it the right way," said Bazan. "At the same time, Mendy came here to fight and win it convincingly in front of people and to prove something, and that he is a real champion." The winner of Mendy-Bika was set to be in line for a title shot against the winner of an Oct. 15 clash fight between IBF king Lucian Bute (26-0, 12 KOs) and Jesse Brinkley (35-5, 22 KOs). "We'll move on and we will fight in our next fight, which we expect will be against Bute. Whoever wins out of Brinkley vs. Bute. If Brinkley wins, we'll fight Brinkley," said Bazan. "But we want to make it clear that Mendy is a real champion. He came here to fight." Mendy-Bika was among eight fights on the undercard of main event featuring WBO and WBA lightweight (135 pounds) champion Juan Manuel Marquez and Juan Diaz promoted by Golden Boy Promotions' and televised on HBO pay-per-view.
Bika is such an idiot. By all rights, he should be a reasonably famous boxer making decent money. Hes just so dirty and inactive and constantly just does such stupid **** to **** his own career up.
If he was all over him then maybe hes got some good stuff left....maybe he can fight more fights and get another shot? Looks like hes ready to take the pay cuts so you never know.
I'm watching at the pub mate. Not risking missing this war if streams drop out. This kind of fight is what boxing is all about. Two warriors for the only belt that matters.
