Thread: Manfredo VS. Bika poll

Now this actually will shape up to be quite entertaining... Manfredo ALWAYS puts on a big show when he fights at the Dunk a la Pemberton and Spina...

Bika will come forward throwing bombs... This will be a very fan friendly fight. So how does it go?

Manfredo by decision although I could very easily see Bika winning the fight.

Im not sure what will happen i like both guys i will have to think about it then vote apart from getting slapped to death by Calzaghe and getting stopped in the 3rd even though he was slipping the punches Manfredo has never looked like getting stopped really. This will be a good fight better than some title fights this year in fact Bika likes a war Manfredo is not scared of a war this could be a fight of the year.

Thing about Peter are those stamina issues... When he fought Lacy he just fell in to lazy infighting... He boxed great in the first round and a half...

When he's at home in front of his fans and comfortable expect fightworks... I hate watching him fight outside new england cuz something just switches off(not saying he would have had a shot against Joe anyway).

Manfredo will box and he, contrary to what many think, has a bit of pop. It will be entertaining though a tough one to call due to the style matchup.

LOL, I would expect nothing less, Al

Right ive gone for Manfredo points win but wouldn't be shocked to see a Bika KO win he is one of if not the pysically strongest super middleweights.

Well although it's a possibility I just don't see Bika catching and hurting Manfredo... The Lacy "knockdown" is the only time he's been down in his career and he's never been hurt. You are correct in Bika being VERY strong and if Manfredo gets caught he'll know he got hit

you going to this fight pride?

tickets go on sale Wed, but no sign of how much tickets are as far as i've found..

The scorpion will prevail unless he doesn't get robbed as it's Manfredo's backyard.

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.

This is true... Should it be a close fight there could be some controvercy which I fucking hate... I watched a kid get ROBBED that was brought in as an opponant vs Eddie Sotto on a Gary Balletto card a while back... Horrible.

I hope that one of them makes it easy on the judges and either wins convncinly either on points or KO... I hate controvercial decisions...

Anthony Bonsante v Jesse Brinkley 2 was fukking bad. On the same night Manfredo got robbed against Mora in the remacth. Awful judges on hand that night, you needed a KO for the right man to win

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.

I'm a fan of Manfredo, but I doubt he'll beat Bika. In fact, I think it is a pretty gutsy fight for Manfredo to take. Manfredo may be a better boxer than Bika, but not by much, and Manfredo tends to tire in later rounds. Manfredo will land more punches than Bika in the beginning while Bika lands more powerful punches. Manfredo will slow toward the end and Bika will take advantage.
