Following his impressive win over Aaron Pryor jr. , Oosthuizen will undergo plastic surgery on his eye. The cut has opened and got worse over the past four fights. Rumour here in SA has it that promotor Rodney Berman is looking for an opponent in Sakio Bika for a bout in November. How do you rate this fight?
Interesting. I see both getting hit with bombs galore but going the distance, possibly with controversy.
Oosthuizen needs to be more disciplined in the ring and work on his defense, he got some skills but Bika can knock him out.
i don't think so, oosthuzien has height and long arm, he could keep at bay Bika jabbing him all night; but bika is dangerous, a gatekeeper at 168: oosthuzien enters top 5 smw if he gets by Bika
It would be an interesting match up. I think both would land alot on the other and take alot. Oosthuizen is very upright and seems open, although does use his reach well at times. I think Oosthuizen needs to get a bit more experience against some different styles first and that Bikas rough house style might be a bit new to him. Still Im sure his team know what he is capable of and I would find it an interesting bout
Very interesting. Bika is a top level gate keeper. Perhaps THE best gatekeeper to the top 10. So very good fight for Oosthuizen.
Very dangerous fight for Tommy, Bika is a Gare with more power and tenacity...if he tightens up his D and uses his hieght to full adv it culd be a v good fight...if he fights like he did in the fights wit Gare n Pryor Jnr, Tommy gets stopped!!! A win puts him right in the mix with the big boys...I'd like him to take on L Andrade b4 Bika tho
solid fight too good to get hidden in south africa i haven´t seen the fight with Chilemba but hes similar to Bika so its a bold matchup..
I am a fan of both oosthuizen and chilemba. Saw the fight live and thought a draw was fair. I agree that Bika and Chilemba has the same attacking style but Chilemba has a better defence. A tough match for anyone. I have seen every single bout of Tommy. But I have never seen him off his feet. And he has taken a few monstrous punches...my opinion. Neither Tommy nor Bika gets the Ko. Tommy is faster, more accurate. Tommy wins by split decision.
Bika is the type of guy that if you can avoid fighting, you do. He'll be there all night, you're not likely to stop him. He'll make it ugly, he'll make you look bad, yet he's so beatable by the best that you're not getting any glory from it and to top it off, dirty as **** and you'll be in danger all night of something like having your face busted open by his head. Prospects---stay away from the Bikas of the world. Risk/Reward Value Rating: 0
