Nah... I'll watch it on TV... Every seat is a good seat at the Dunk though... You can buy "shitty" tickets and the ring is still like "right there"... I went to the Pemberton and Spina fights... Well I was still living in RI then so it was easier... I have a 46" LCD... I think I'll just watch it on VersusHD rather then go all the way down.

If I was you I'ld deffo go. I'm still kicking myself about not going to Newcastle last year for the UK v USA Contender. Especially as Bundrage v Brewer is on the undercard. I'm looking forward to that.

What was awesome was the contender finale at the TD Banknorth Garden... That's like a mile away from me and Codrington Bika... Now that was a friggin fight!

I was in the 6th row!

I took Bika to win for two reasons

1) Manfredo's stamina, I don't think Peter will be able to get to Bika early which he needs to do to be effective in this fight.

2) Bika can be as dirty a fighter as they come, I think this will frustrate Peter and will lull him into fighting at Bika's tempo.

Peter is a pretty tough guy though, so I don't see a stoppage. I think the first half of this fight should be entertaining and close, the second half being lopsided for Bika. I'm rooting for Manfredo to get a win here though.

Sorry Pride, gotta go with Bika by decision.

Stamina, stamina, stamina. Will Peter have any?

I know he fights better at home, but a completely shot Pemberton, and a never really was that good Spina, are a different story than Bika.

I guess you changed you mind on going, because I remember when the fight was first announced, you told me that you were going to go. Is it because it's on a Thursday night, and you don't want to drive there on a work night?

Bika's physicality and ruggedness could really take Manfredo out of his game.Manfredo has the ability to box but will have to keep Bika off.I'm actually going with Manfredo to rise to the occasion ,maintain pace and take a close decision ?

When this fight was first suggested I initially thought Bika would bash the shit out of Manfredo, now? I think exactly the same

That was a great night!!. My girlfriend surprised me with tickets and we were in the 7th row up (not the floor seats) and dead center to the ring. The whole card was entertaining, I thought. I enjoyed the Banks vs McCrary fight a lot, and I really enjoyed watching Vera beat on Max Alexander. The Bika/Codrinton fight was terrific.

Suprised so many people are giving Peter Manfredo a chance, no offense POB but Sakio Bika has only really lost once convincingly. To Lucian Bute who is tall and fights on the outside, other than that Sakio Bika has so far always done well against some of the top Super Middleweights, where as Peter Manfredo has never done well against any top opposition at Middleweight or Super Middleweight.

I think Peter Manfredo will get outhustled here, Sakio Bika although his punching technique could do with some work. Is still very strong physically and he has a solid chin, i think Sakio Bika will be too much for Peter Manfredo. And i can see Sakio Bika stopping Peter Manfredo late on or winning a comfortable UD.

Pride if it makes you feel better, I actually hope that Manfredo will win and make you happy.

i think it will be a split decision for bika. oh and never mind booze i thought it would make it to 20k but still close.

Huh?

Bika just fought in April, and then won The Contender last November, and had 2 fights last October while on The Contender.

How do you figure he hasn't fought in 1 1/2 years?
