http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/indepth/bika-offers-wood-50000/story-e6freygr-1225826559979 Has anyone heard anything about this? What a roughhouse fight it will be if it eventuates.
Not the sort of fight Wood should be looking for at this early stage of his career IMO - but would be a good one to watch while it lasted none-the-less.
agreed, not much to gain at this stage of his career fighting Bika who could really dent his confidence (as well as his head)
Bika will give Woods a beating nothing surer. Why is this fight being mentioned, is mandy going to run away from his agreement to fight Garth. I suppose I should of seen this coming, he runs away from anyone who might punch back.
This is pure boxing 'bull****' talk. :roll: There's no way Garth, or for that matter, his trainer - Billy Hussein would fight Sakio fight for $50k when they have a 5-fold payday awaiting against Mundine. :deal Please, both are too smart to waste their time on this rubbish.
Sure would be a roughhouse fight. Garth would do alright as long as his fitness lasted but i couldnt see him winning
Hope you're right, but we've already seen mentioned in the media that Mundine is looking to postpone his bout against Wood until Wood gets more experience - he needs to get that experience somewhere but Bika wouldn't seem a good place to get it. As stated by others above, Mundine tendancy is to run from anyone who poses anything remotely like a threat to him - his ducking of Geale a prime example.
Christ....a whole thread on here was dedicated to the sanctioning of Mundine V Wood because of the wide gap in experience and here we are now considering whether Wood should take Bika although it may hurt his career. If no one else will say it......... Garth Wood will get badly beaten in a lopsided fight at the heavy hands of Bika.....it would be a disgrace to boxing if Wood was allowed in the ring with Bika for anything other than a sparring session at this stage of Woods career. I predict a savage and heavy beating on Wood if this eventuates.
Anybody that beat Victor and Kariz should be able to fight Mundine or Bika.......Mundine fought a World champ after his 10th fight.....Mundine did not have better wins against his name as Woods does in Kariz and Victor. Did even 1 of you pick Woods to beat Victor and Kariz? Dont bother answering...I know the answer :tong Everybody was swinging off Victors nuts 1 year ago :deal
Please!!! This boxing hype at its best. Garth Wood wont even look at Sakio until he fights Mundine, and Sakio has much much bigger fish to fry when he finally gets over to the US and damages a few world ranked super middleweights. It was good to see Garth recognised by THE Fist mag this month, he was the fighter of the month. Lets hope the bunnies can replicate his successes, what a forward pack to have starting off the year !!!!
To be fair to Garth I think he'd fancy his chances more with Bika simply because he'd be able to connect with a fair few shots because both blokes will go straight at each other. Garth has shown enough power to get Bikas respect. It's a fairly decent comeback fight for Bika imo.
