Anyone know if the Manfredo vs. Bika fight still in the works? And if so, what are some of your thoughts?
Everything about this fight screams Bika. Lacy-Manfredo was a washout and both were battered by Calzaghe. Whereas Bika actually did ok against big Joe. I must be mad though as I just fancy a Manfredo stoppage. I don't know why but I can really see him knocking Bika out!
Manfredo won't definitely be stopped, he has a good chin and Bika is not a puncher. Manfredo was floored by Lacy but it was a very close fight. I think Bika will win a close fight but if it becomes extremely close, Manfredo has a good shot at getting the decision because he is fighting in his hometown.
Should be. It's for a belt (albeit the IBA belt, although in all honesty, the IBA is MUCH less corrupt than the major sanctioning bodies), so they need to use a referee and judges sanctioned by the IBA. Even if it's not, I see this one being enough of a blowout that Manfredo still couldn't pull out the win.
