    Bika is tough, strong and determined but really very limited skillwise.Poor speed,average power.Mundine should be able to outpoint him quite easily - 117-110 Mundine:good

    1/aginst beyer he was brought in as a routine defense but got a technical draw and wobbled beyer .

    2/that raised his profile and he got a time filling defense for calzaghe who he gave a tough fight to.

    3/he got an eliminator on the back of the calzaghe fight v bute, who he also gave a hard fight to

    4/he then won the high profile comntender series.

    5/bika is high profile/based out of australia and mundine is the highest profile fighter in austrlai so bika v mundine does make sense.

    bika right place right time is seen as beatable but a live opponent at the same time so he fills every critieria of a perrenial contender.
    and add the fact bika has said he is going to use his contender winnings to buy a few buenos aires taxi firms making him a sure lock as a mundine opponent.

    Who deserves a shot more, would you say? Kessler? He will get his shot soon...All the others ahead of him in the Top 10 are in the frame somehow, for one of the trinkets.

    Plus he just won the TV tournament/reality TV show in a fight that many people enjoyed. He's a certified top 10 SMW and Mundine has no interests in fighting top fivers, so Bika is a good choice for him.

    I think realistically it's the best choice available to Choc. He has picked the best opponent, in my view...:happy

    You guys are all forgeting Mundine eye, If this next fight doesn't not go well in the eye department for Mundine he will call it a day. He has millions of dollars and a very rich young man.

    Look mate this is not bull****, This is career theading and If is doesn't go well he is done that is the news I'm hearing, look the guy has millions of dollar more than any other 168 fighter out there and he doesn't need to fight, NO one can fight at the top level with limited vision.

    Mundine-Bika - this would be a good fight for Australia. Lots of Contender fans would tune in. I know Mundine should be fresh as he hasn't had that many fights but he's getting old now. The way eye see it is that it should be fairly routine for Mundine but Bika is someone you can't relax against. Bika will catch Mundine a few times and we all saw what happened when the Bomber Ottke caught Mundine. 117-110 Mundine after taking a knee in the 11th.

    So you think he still has limited vision? You think they would let him in the ring against anyone, with limited vision?
