Allan Green would destroy Bika, he's a better boxer, with better power. He'd throw straight punches in between Bika's looping haymakers and just ruin him IMO. It would be ugly for Bika fans (if any exist).

But Allan Green also has a suspect chin, and he hasn't beaten anyone worth mentioning. Atleast Sakio Bika has been in there with some of the top Super Middleweights, and i thought he was punching straighter against Peter Manfredo, until he went crazy on him at the end.Quote:

Donny McCrary had him down and all over the place, and should of stopped him really. And lets keep in mind this is Donny McCrary. Who is decent at best and has only decent power at best.Quote:

I haven't seen that fight, but I've seen Green fight at least 5 or 6 times and he's never struck me as having a suspect chin. Any fighter can be hurt, but I don't think that necessarily means they have a suspect chin unless it happens with regularity.Quote:

Trust me he had Allan Green all over the place, if i remember rightly he walked into a big hook and he froze up. Then Donny McCrary went on the attack, rocking his head back with a series of punches.Quote:

Should be a good fight. I'm rooting for Bika mainly because I can't stand Green. He talks too much for me...especially for a guy who hasn't even beat a top 10 guy. Green could very well win the fight and make it look easy but give me Bika.
His chin is a bit suspect. Curtis Stevens had him all over the place in the amateurs. The knockdown against Stevens is similar to the knockdown he suffered against McCrary...once he's hit he kinda freezes and get's hit with numerous shots. Fast forward to 4:40

I could see Green getting laid out in the later rounds as Bika is tough and one of those looping punchs might land. Green looked good in his last fights and not staring at his feet; but like I said in my other post, I never count Bika out. In fact the longer it goes the more I give Bika a chance.
underestimate bika at your peril
Sure the guy is limited on natural talent but he more than makes up for it with heart and determination.
If green has his head screwed on he should be able to take a good points win...he sure as hell aint stopping him though
Codrington almost stopped him. Green can (and will) stop him.Quote:

bika is the middles answer to your carlos baldomirs or lovemore n`dou`sQuote:

Green will take a comfortable decision, if however he takes it via KO then he more than deserves another world title shot
did you not see the DeLeon fight? Green was rocked on several occasions in the first round, IMO this is a very winnable fight for Bika if Green gets stupid and tries to trade, but i expect Green to outbox himQuote:
