    Its difficult to tell.... Is half your brain missing, or does half your brain exist?? Either way, you're a half wit.

    Bad fight...Choc will toy with Garth and make it look like he is being competitive. Sakio will just go out there and bash him, the only way he knows how..he has ruined fighters in the past and Garth could very well be another one of them.

    Im more comfortable with him fighting Mundine then with him fighting Bika...even though I think both would be a farce.

    Yes nice feedback mate...lots of interesting content :finger

    Why cant anybody answer the question...you all picked Wood to get beaten easy by Victor and Kariz....but you give him no credit now when he won?

    I understand the difference in going 10 or 12 rounds against 7 or 5 but if Garth and Kariz went 10 Kariz would have got stopped.....to be fair both fighters knew they were going 7 rounds so they could both load up and time their fitness accordingly

    And Victor who has a 95% KO record could load up without fear of gassing out....that didnt work either...he also beat Israel Kani...who was the aussie champ before the comp

    If Wood is as lame as your saying how could he beat these 2 seasond pros amd the aussie champ?

    I don't think anyone is saying garth is lame, but fighting a seasoned pro like bika at this stage of his career is only going to damage woods. Bika has fought the best in his division and gone the distance, with his rough house fighting style I would pick Bika in stoppages of Kariz and Og as well.

    Mundine for 250k is a much easier payday.

    Agree...I would have Bika stop him mid rounds....Most of us know Wood is throwing out Bikas name to keep his own up there.....I would just like to see the series get more credit....if it did we may see a lightweight or LH version.

    Sakio v Jesse Brinkley would be a fun fight. Brinkley just went to war with once hyped Curtis Stevens last week on espn and came away on top. They are calling it an early pick for foty.

    With Heymon advising both Bika and Andrade, maybe he'l put that fight together? who knows, Sakio's career is a bit hard to gauge.

    edit: I didn't know Brinkley is now Bute's mando. Sakio v Brinkley wont be happening anytime soon.

    edit: brinkley isn't bute's mando. his win over stevens was for the #2 spot.

    Ash, you are incorrect there and I suggest you go and read the original link properly.

    It is Sakio's backers that have put this stupid offer out there.

    Garth hasn't said a word. If anything, it's ****ing desperate on Sakio's part as this is a bloke who constantly gripes that no one will face him (it's well reported he has turned down big offers and you'd know as your 'Man' offered him good coin!) so he's resorting to challenging a bloke with 8-odd fights to his name.

    Very brave..... NOT

    As I said in another post - just pure boxing bull**** talk!

    More credit....start a petition.

    That sounds like a desperate plea Ash.

    Promise for us the judging wont be as biased as it was and remove any doubt of corruption in scoring.

    Remove The Pioneers name form the show as this brings all other negative connatations leading to accusations of fixing & doubt as to whether the Contender contract will be executed in full as promised to the public.

    Was going to put the question to Ash - Does it really deserve more credit?

    But reading BCN's comments above they aren't too far from mine.

    Would love to see it flurish, but there's a fine balance between boxing with cred and entertainment. IMO the crazy house stuff and the serious fight stuff have to be quite seperate - and the judging etc in-line with normal pro standards.

    Brinkley is now IBF #2 and Bika is #4.

    With the #1 spot being vacant, it makes sense to do Brinkley v Bika with the winner getting that spot and becoming Bute's mandatory.
