Its in Ward's backyard again right? So if Ward doesn't want to fight dirty the ref will be on Bika like a hawk
Bika is one of the dirtiest fighters in the sport and he puts big presure on fighters, this will be a hard fight for Ward!
Why does the super 6 website have Ward listed as scoring 6 points? I think it's a bit suspect to be giving him 2 points because his opponent pulled out. I'm sure this whole thing is geared towards making him a star. Amazing to think that only Froch and Abraham will have fought their 3 originally scheduled bouts.
In my opinion, I see Bika as a gatekeeper... but a very dangerous one. If you're not a top talent in the SMW category, you'll get knocked out by him like Mendy. I think he'd KO Allan Green like Johnson did. Bute won against Bika, but he had to be focused the whole fight because you could see he was dangerous. Ward should/will win, but it will surprise me if it's an easy fight.
No. If you know Ward, you know he will take Bika seriously and not overlook him. It's just not in him overlook guys and get overconfident.
Yeah, I think we are sleeping on Bika a bit. He's a solid top 10 super middleweight who can give anyone trouble. If Ward takes him lightly he could really have his hands full. If Ward is prepared he'll win by a wide ud but in a competitive fight. Bika isn't getting rolled over by anyone but he comes up short at this level. I think Ward will be on his game and win a UD.
Ward is a miserable excuse for a human being; a filthy religious hypocrite and vile garbage. As much as I would love to see him get his ass handed to him I doubt it happens in this one.
It's that way in every tournament. I play hockey and when the other team doesn't show up we get 2 points. It would'nt be fair to lose those 2 potential points.
Ward's dirty tricks won't work with Bika who'll take him to a whole new level of nastiness. However I can see Ward putting on a clinic if he can keep Bika at distance.
This could be a really ugly mess of a fight, which would play into Bika's hands a little more but Ward is no strinking violet either. Bika is just to crude to beat a technician like Ward who can fight so many different ways. As Techks says it might look like one of Hopkins fights with tough guys like Echols and Allen. Lets just hope there's no wrestling. Ward should walk this tbh.
