    Who wins?

    From what I read here Mundine's last performances have not been great. Bika seems to be getting better and better. Would Bika have a better than average chance of beating Mundine these days, given that Mundine is not the toughest and that his chin is not the best, with his speed and reactions declining?

    Interested to read what Australians in particular think. Most of us in the US haven't managed to watch much of Mundine.

    I have never understood why Mundine is so respected. How many quality fighters has he beaten? Hardly any and his record just looks padded to me.

    He used to be very fast and have good reactions and good defence too. Not sure how good he is these days.

    Mundine schools Bika, but Bika stands a good chance of scoring the KO.

    From what I've read, recently he has looked worse and worse, against average journeymen.

    What chances do you give each fighter in this one?

    I'd say Mundine would be a 2.5 to 1 favorite. His chin is shaky as hell though, and Bika comes in from all kinds of weird angles.

    So Mundine is still the big favourite then. I thought it would be a more even fight.

    KO? Where is he getting this power from? Bika has a very good chin and he is very tough. Is Mundine supposed to get into a war with Bika and win? How can he stop him with his jab from the outside?

    He has an ok chin, he's been down a fair few times in his career. He is always open and telegraphs his punches big time. Mundine has power and great timing.

    I've followed both careers closely, the only chance for a Bika win is KO and that usually says something to punters...bet on Mundine.

    You're a funny guy you really are feller. Mundine couldn't stop Nievas, Crazy Kim and Pintos and he's gonna KO Bika? Hahaha

    If anyone is getting stopped it's Mundine. He's been getting caught a lot more recently, he's speed is not the same and like everyone says he's reactions are not the same. Mundine is on the way out feller and Bika would get outboxed but so what because he would brutalize Mundine from the opening bell and stop him before the 10th round you better believe it.

    Mundine by a mile ... Bika is tailormade for Mundine - slow and roughed - Mundine is going to beat him from the distanse Bika will never catch up with him. But I doubt he'll stop him...
