    This would be a cracking fight in a way.

    Both are very athletic and strong. Both are just inside the SMW top 10.

    Miranda is the better boxer and hits harder but Bika has a better chin and knows many more tricks on the inside. They both have a hell of a lot of heart and would never give up, but somehow I feel Bika has a little bit more heart and will to win.

    So, who would win?

    Miranda just has too much fire power for Bika, he almost was knocked out by Codrignton, although he has power too. It would would be a great slugfest while it lasted though.

    definitely miranda.

    Bika has a rough and ready style and by him coming forward and brawling he would be applying a similar tactic to pavlik who came forward and made Miranda smother his punches. BUT>>>

    Miranda has a nice uppercut and it would push Bika back which would give him room to land hooks and his straight right....Miranda kayo 6

    i think Bika is a more complete fighter, and his activity, heart, and skills would get him a victory in my opinion, but buy no means would i be surprised with a Miranda KO, or desicion victory.

    Nah, it wouldn't be that much of a slugfest. Bika wouldn't approach the fight at gung-ho as he did the Codrington fight and Miranda wouldn't try and knock Bika out because he would most likely get KDed/KOed himself in the process, I think.

    Honestly, I cannot see Miranda, hard-hitting as he is, KOing Bika. Bika would be quite careful and wouldn't fall for the uppercut and most likely wouldn't even get KDed.

    How do you rate Bika's power?

    I don't think it's bad at all, but clearly, he's power is not great either. Good enough to KO Miranda if he catches him repeatedly, just about, I would say, with some luck. But I wouldn't put money on the stoppage. I think this would be a close fight won by a narrow margin on points.

    Would you say that he gave an impressive performance against Calzaghe for a fighter his caliber?

    Bika was wobblin all over the place with Codrington. I think Miranda would definitely finish him..

    Well he was a dirty little ****er, but he did what he had to do to keep it competetive against an elite fighter

    And it was always just that - competetive

    So yes, it was impressive. I was flabbergasted people picked Codrington to be honest

    Bika had no problems getting back up; people make way too much of that KD.
