In view of Sakio Bika's very impressive success in The Contender this makes Calzaghe's clear victory over him all the more impressive. Expect stellar performances from Jeff Lacy and Mikkel Kessler in the future!! :bbb NB. Had they not already fought, you JUST KNOW that these boards would be filled of posts proclaiming that Bika would slaughter Calzaghe!!:nut
Sakio Bika is one the top ranked headbutters in the World. LMAO when Bika headbutted Bute and wobbled himslef. He went to the ropes to recover his legs. He is a dirty fighter, he leveled Calzaghe, Beyer, and Bute with headbutts.
I don't know...the better analysts would have maintained that Bika was a Top 10 gatekeeper who would lose to the top guys in the division...Had Joe not fought Bika's fight to prove a point, he would have looked much better.
Calzaghe would have throughly dominated Bika had he not been in a mood to showboat for the US. He should have been all business, like he was against Lacy and Kessler. Nonetheless, don't be surprised if Bika has a title in the next two years.
Bika looked fantastic in the contender, so it really defines Calzaghes class, that at only 50% he got an easy decision over this monster. He did not take Bika at all seriously in the actual fight and was not fully fit but he still completely dominated and ruled Bika.
Calzaghe looked like he was playing around or sparring when he fought Bika, if he were as focused with Bika as he was with Lacy he would have KO'D Bika who throws mile wide punches and telegraphs everything he throws.. I hope Bika fight's Kessler :hey it will be GOODNIGHT SAKIO!!:dead
Are you seriously trying to hype up a guy because he beat a 23 year old kid who got knocked out in 18 seconds against Allen Green?:huh And are you seriously doing so just to make Calzaghe look better? Calzaghe is damn good fighter, his record speaks for itself. You don't need to hype up glorified journeymen that he beat to make him look better.
I disagree... I was disappointed with his form in the Contender...it was quite a bit under his form against Joe and Lucian...I hope that when he gets a proper fight on, he will train better and more professionally and will have a better gameplan.
Don't think Joe would have KOed or even KDed Bika, even a Joe at his very best. Bika knows many tricks and he has a very good chin...
Well yes,obviously!! But on a serious note, we both know that some of the less knowledge posters would be saying that Bika would hammer Calzaghe if they fought:smooch
Yea i think if Calzaghe moves up in weight and vacant his titles, Bika should be able to get one of them if he can get himself to no1 or no2 contender.
