Bika turns down Andrade fight.
Contender champ Sakio Bika has said in Australia that he will not be taking the proposed fight v Librado Andrade. His reason is that since the Contender final he has not been training, and wouldnt be in shape by the time of the fight.
He said he would try to get a shot against WBA interim champ Anthony Mundine.
This is disappointing a Bika v Andrade fight would have been insane.
Re: Bika turns down Andrade fight.
I think Bika came to the conclusion that he wasn't going to win
Re: Bika turns down Andrade fight.
I heard the offer was very low also.

Very smart man Bika.....Maybe now Andrade can meet Miranda to generate a real hellish event ;D

You know what VD, I'm there also.Alot is made of Mack's flooring Andrade but two different breeds of punches there .Whipping speed and unseen Vs.deliberate and telegraphed
Although It's a given fact Andrade will absorb some shot's I think His workrate could cause Miranda concerns.
This could be a war but unlikely to happen ,I'd pay top Dollar though!!

Miranda will outwork Andrade. Miranda has little skill but a high workrate and loads of power.
Andrade has practically zero skill, is slow with decent power and a great chin.
He's not aggressive or powerful enough to stop Miranda and he's not good enough to outbox him.
Miranda UD 12
Re: Bika turns down Andrade fight.
I think this is a smart move by bika. He should use his Contender fame to make some cash against less dangerous opponents than Andrade.

I think Andrade would out methodical Miranda,No way this go's 12 and I think Miranda would gas out late.For as simple as Andrade presents It,He gets pretty strong as he goes and I think hewould outlast and out endure Miranda over time.
Both get insulted If you dont hit them in the face and I dont think either one could outbox a heavybag strapped to a treadmill honestly but I really think Pantera would be much to reliant on pure power knowing Andrades face first style.

Doubt that one will happen.

I can see it happening actually Wack. It would make some decent cash here in australia cos Bika got some good publicity with the contender. Our casual fans really want Mundine to lose because of his arrogance and anytime another aussie fighter is promoted as having a chance against him (green, soliman) the PPV does really well.
In reality it'd be an easy win for Mundine.
Re: Bika turns down Andrade fight.
Really disappointed here at Bika here.
I mean if it was a money issue that would make much more sense to say then saying I wont be ready as far as preparation.
Either way I can also understand what hes trying to do which is get a title shot so I can't blame him.....
Hopefully Andrade can land another prominent name.

I think in the end fighting Andrade was just too much risk too little reward.
