    Ward is very hard to beat and apart from Bute, I'd favor him over anyone in the division, including Abraham whom I rate very highly.

    Having said that, he's not the hardest hitter nor the most spectacular boxer. He gets the job done, but seeing how much better he was than Green, I thought he should've stopped him, like Grandpa Glen Johnson did.

    Bika has never been stopped though. How much chance do you give it that Ward pleases the crowd and gets that stoppage win?

    30-50%
    But you never know w/ a possible clash of heads.
    (But on punching power, I don't see Bika being laid out)

    I'm expecting a late round ref stoppage on accumulation. Money on rounds 8,9,10,11

    I'd say there's just over a 50% chance Ward stops him.

    He said he is going to try and stop Bika. He also admitte he should have stopped Green, but didn't go for it. I expect him to stop Sakio Bika, but decisioning him would'nt be a surprise at all, in fact for many it's the logical choice. I'm going against the grain.

    I really hope you're right. I've seen fighters say before that they "should've stopped X" but when they're back in the ring, it's the same story.. you either have fighting heart or you don't.

    Cant see Bika getting stopped, Ward doesnt strike me as a deadly finisher and Bika is tough. Pts win.

    What does Ward have to lose?

    I think he'll go all out in this one.

    BIka at his best - this could be a brawl but is it possible, that Bika is aloud to fight as vs. Calzaghe this time.........? Ward wins on a Bika DQ...............

    are you suggesting that Andre Ward who at 26 years old has won an olympic gold medal and a world title does not have fighting heart?

    The best chance of it ending inside the distance is a TD, DQ or NC. You all know why.

    Bad choice of words on my part... it takes a lot of guts to step in that ring; Ward has plenty of heart, no doubt - and that's coming from someone who dislikes him. He just doesn't seem to have that killer instinct that most punchers have.
