Similar thread in the general a while back but what do you guys think? I'll go with Bika by TKO but if Manfredo could survive the punishment he could def pull off a decision, especially over there! Thought's?
50/50 fight imo. Madnfredo has been busy and looks to be gettin better each fight, i think he has a decent chin, but it sure will be tested against Bika. Bika can be outboxed, but only but very good boxers who can do it for the whole fight. I think the lay off could really hurt Bika, but i think he does lots of sparring with the grange boys. This would be a great card to show on FTA tv, but that wont happen. Also, id put my house on Mundine pulling out , and then ill ask ajay ..........why?
Nice one mate, yeah true about his chin hey, did well against Lacy's power too, though Jeff looked puss admittedly.
too me the Lacy fight just proved that Manfredo can fight hard on the inside , was a really close fight from what i remember, i cant recall how i scored it but.
I have to agree Kegsy, even though Bika has been fairly inactive I still think he will stop Manfredo.
Keep that crap to yourself please. Rascist un Australian comments like that aint tolerated within this forum thankyou. The nerve of some people.
I reckon on paper a lot harder task for Sakio then a lot people may think. It is on Manfredo's home turf where he seems pretty popular, Peter has been busy and his neat, speedy style could see him outbox Sakio at times, which may be all he needs to do at home. I have been far from a Manfredo spruiker over the years, in fact in shits me they market him as a real threat in the division when he is basically the poster boy for average. That being said he still goes alright and as stated before I think he has the stylistic advantage here. Could be hard for Sakio I reckon but Sakio does what Sakio does best which is to turn a fight into a physical encounter and totally get the other guy out of his comfort zone, making them throw their gameplan out the window and make mistakes. Average just wont cut it to keep Sakio off you, so really looking forward to see how this one pans out.
everyone disses manfredo saying he hasn't beat anyone good etc....who has bika beaten?codrington..?wtf?? i think ppl underestimate manfredo cause of the contender n don't c that this is a 50/50 fight! ive said it a billion times but for his fight with calzaghe bika n manfredo sparred n in the words of freddie roach peter boxed the **** out of him so i dont know how much validity u want to put behind that comment but its something to think about
