    Both top 10 in a strong division. Doesn't happen every day. Bika doesn't have a gameplan? Just watch first 6 rounds of Bute fight and the Calzaghe fight! Against Kessler, I am not sure Andrade could have done differently.

    I believe Andrade will take Bika's bombs and tire him out throughout the rounds with constant pressure. Andrade should be able to stop Bika somewhere around the 10th or 11th round.

    Andrade will be beaten again when he faces a good boxer-puncher with good mobility.

    Not only the Codrington fight, Donny almost had him out of there aswell. I dont think he has a bad chin though.

    Bika is going to hit Andrade and when he finds out he doesn't have enough power to hurt him, the fight is going to get dirty. I predict that Bika will get disqualified.

    I predic a no contest. Andrade is not fast enough to dodge that head.

    Andrade will have him out of there in 5-6, Bika can't really do anything to him and lacks defence himself.

    Both will stand and fight as neither are good off the backfoot.

    Andrade will consistently land the harder shots and get the better of the exchanges. Bika doesn't have the power to hurt him either. After a steady accumulation of punishment from the stronger Andrade, Bika will be worn down and stopped in the mid rounds.

    A fan's fight!

    That'll put Andrade in line for a title shot, maybe against Bute. I really like Andrade, he's a fantastic person with class and has some of the biggest heart and chin we've seen in a while.

    I give him a solid chance over anybody in the division, except for Mundine and Kessler. If he was in line for a shot against Bute, I think the pressure would get to Bute late and he'd pull out a late KO.

    Andrade's a great guy from what I've read and seen. And an absolute freak in his ability to take punishment.

    I remember thinking that Andrade would have a hell of a shot against Bute when I was watching him against Bika. I'm not sure who I'd pick yet, but I wouldn't be too confident picking Bute.

    At this moment, I'd take Andrade by TKO over Lacy and Miranda. Froch and Inkin would be good matchups too (but I haven't seen enough of Inkin to get a good picture of his ability).

    He's extremely limited, but with his chin, strength, stamina, and power, he's a very serious threat.
