    Bikas game is to outhuscle his opponent. Rely on power, with wild loopy punches and constant pressure. In the clinches, smaller opponents become very tired, this is where Bika has had his most success.

    This fight maybe a bit closer than I was first thinking.

    Manfredo did well against Lacy and I thought he may have taken that fight......while Manfredo KO'ed McCray in 2 rounds a few months ago while Bika went the distance with McCray last year.

    I still think Bika will be strong and push Manfredo around enough to land a few of his big shots......Bika CLOSE UD.

    Mate u can't compare the McMcray fights with both. What about when Bika and Manfredo fought Calzaghe, what happen there?

    Apples and oranges

    Manfredo froze against Joe and the big stage.

    Manfredo wont freeze this time against Bika as he has the big fights under his belt. Notice against Lacy he was much better.

    You do have a pont however I just think the fight will be closer.

    Styles make fights and it is very hard to judge the outcome of a fight by looking at shared opponents

    When I look at fights all things are taken into consideration....past history, home town advantage, number of fights and shared opponents.

    We can look closer at why Manfredo won by KO and why Bika went the distance against the same guy within 1 year however all I am saying is the fight maybe closer than I was first thinking.

    What do you think the result will be and how did you come to your conclusion?

    His jab is a lounging jab. It's pretty effective. He won about three round against Bute with his jab alone.

    It depends how well prepared and motivated Bika comes in on the night. At his best he won 5 rounds against Bute...so...he's pretty good.

    bika is one tough dude, very strong fighter, and hes very akward also, he done well against bute, prob could do better in a rematch i reckon....
    his jab is very decieving because its not so clubbing people think it isnt very damaging however it is pretty accurate and has a far bit of power behind it and is very long reach give opponents trouble...
    i think bika by stoppage round 9 much the same as he did against codrington go toe to toe for a long time till they get worn down...

    I loved the quote from Manfredo after the Joe fight...

    "I wasnt hurt i was just waiting for him to stop throwing punches" :lol::lol::lol:

    Someone needed to tell Manfredo that Joe stops after round 12

    Manfredo will get destroyed in this fight, I dont like all these contender fighters but still it could be a good scrap

    I Believe that sakio will stop Pete in the 11th or take a very dominant points win.
    I came to this conclusion because i dont think manfredo will be knocked ouy early as he will probably get on the backfoot and box smart, but at the end of the day sakio is a couple of inches taller and much stronger.
    Manfredo wont be able to handle Sakio throwing everything and the kitchen sink for 12 rounds. The bigger,stronger, more agressive man will win.
