Adonis Stevenson is fighting Sakio Bika

Bika is tough. Good fight.
Re: Adonis Stevenson is fighting Sakio Bika
Bika does some funky stuff, it will be interesting to see how Adonis stands up to it.

Sure, Bika has grit. But Gatti had grit up to Jr. Welter and as he continued to campaign up to Welter, his power started to change dramatically.

It's not exactly Premier Boxing Champions, is it? Not impressed with this fight at all.

Ask Calzaghe. He says Bika was the biggest puncher he faced.

That was 9 years ago. He hasnt stopped anyone in 3 years. He has not right being in the ring with a light heavy champ and is going to take a beating. Another waste of time fight for "Superman"

Meh. At this rate Stevenson is likely to sprain an ankle getting away from Kovalev. Bika barely ranked at 168 and never fought 175. Makes sense.

Agreed. Bika hasn't looked like the Bika of old in quite a while. I think the Calzaghe and Bute fights, among others, took their toll on him. Now he is going up against a devastating puncher at 175? I don't like his chances. His only play is taking the fight into the later rounds, where Stevenson has shown some vulnerability. How much has Stevenson's star fallen? It seems he burst onto the scene only to fall by the wayside soon thereafter for ducking competitive fights.
Re: Adonis Stevenson is fighting Sakio Bika
Bika is a gatekeeper who got lucky to win a title. Bika could get stopped.
Re: Adonis Stevenson is fighting Sakio Bika
Lame fight. Bika has never fought at 175 and is coming off of (what should be) 2 losses. But I guess most of the top 175lbers already have fights scheduled.
Re: Adonis Stevenson is fighting Sakio Bika
Calzaghe is talking utter rubbish. So RJJ, Hopkins, Kessler were light hitters? No one here would say that they are all under Bika.
Calzaghe was taking the piss...
