thoughts...I like the italian warrior in a tough fight...this is a big fight for these guys...loser leaves town
At their best..Id take Bika anyday of the week. But several things make this interesting.. Its in Manfredo's hometown (or close to it), Bika has been inactive recently and I think from a style standpoint Manfredo's quick and neat style with give him a slight edge over Bika's unorthodox and often wild approach. I do feel Bika wrestles it away from Manfredo and beats him up down the stretch but those other factors make it an intruiging fight which is a closer match then some might think.
I think bikka wins by ko, hes so much bigger and stronger than manfredo.. I really dont rate manfredo at all.
manfredo is a tight tough fighter...he is GOOD at everything...great at nothing...I think manfredo wins down the stretch
?? manfredo is a good size 168 lb kid...he is strong...he is a 10-15 type 168 lb fighter as is bika...whoever wins will get a good fight the loser is in troub;e esp bika since manfredo is SUPER POPULAR in rhode island
Good...sorta. He is the poster boy for average IMO and is pretty much in the middle of the field, if not lower, at the level his team claim he is at. Bika on the otherhand has the toughness and physical strength that few at the weight have. But obviously other abilities of his leave a lot to be desired. Looking forward to this one.
i have to go with the hometown kid if you never been to a manfredo fight in ri you wont understand how much he gets into the fight in front of his hometown the louder you yell the harder he hits he puts on a good show im glad he is fighting bika at home
Manfredo can be skilled at times. He will probably win a few rounds but there is no way he'll be able to keep Bika off him for the entire fight. I say Bika by late stoppage or Manfredo by controversial hometown decision.
Bika is too wild, it will come down to Peter using his jab and straight punches to keep him at bay and win a decision. That being said it will be interesting to see if Manfredo can keep him away all night. If Bika gets inside it could be disaster for Manfredo. The hometown edge will be interesting as well and Bika is wild and if the ref is calling him on his crazy tactics Bika might well have to KO Manfredo to get the win. I will be there as there is nothing better than a Manfredo fight in Rhode Island!
i see Mandfredo boxing well early, picking up points, but I think Bika strength will be the decider, after roughing Pete up a bit I see a Late TKO.
