Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds Calzaghe vs Bika

Joe is bang up for this one ;)
JC inside 9 rounds.
9 years undefeated :o
He's a living legend.........

Seen this Bika guy and he kind of wings in punches from all angles and rarely takes a backward step, Joe will pick him off with fast combinations ;)

Calzaghe's in-tight hooks will win him the day in three or four rounds..

You see, that's what I like to see. None of this pussy-footing around like i do, trying to look at each fighters merits. Nail your colours to the mast boy...have an opinon, support someone for hell's sake! Naah, I gotta agree really, but I'm trying to maintain my cool unbiased exterior!

Honestly, I don't remember Joe being sluggish other than against Ashira...& again...honestly...Joe aint that long in the tooth...so to speak. He's made minced meat out of his opposition...so there haven't been but a couple of "wars" for Joe to endure.

Not being arguementative...but for discussions sake...which fight is it that you consider that he "fought down to his opponent's level"?

I've got all of Joe's fights on tape other than maybe 2 or 3 of his first shots out of the gate...& I'm just curious as to what your'e talking about. Other than the Ashira matter...I can't recall that many slips. Sure he's been hurt...but he gutted it out to win.

Again...not argueing...just being curious.

Huh? You mean, he should have KO'd Lacy? Not sure what you mean. Joe's got a pretty good KO percentage amongst his many wins.

Disagree here totally. Other than the mishaps during his hand issues...Joe's pretty damned consistent & good at what he does.

Ha. Now that is pretty funny. The problem is...there aint a Collazo at 168lbs...the only legit threat MIGHT be Kessler. Joe already smoked the fire of 168.

Again, I just hope that he's recovered from the hand issues. Another thing is...I just hope that he's properly motivated...I mean he had to get up for Lacy...let's just hope he doesn't sell himself short this go round...

Doubt that'll be an issue.

calzaghe is easily going to win this fight ko or decision

Bika and Calzaghe may as well dress up as kinky sex fiend deviants as far as im concerned with Bika playing the gimp.
That is how badly i expect Joe to Dominate him ringwise!! O0

Why is JC fighting this guy?Is it just for exposure and that there was no one else to fight? I hope he impresses.

I think he should go all out for Hopkins,Jones or Taylor.
That'll line his pockets and make everyone in the US sit up and take note after he batters either of said trio ;)

Agreed. I think its a mixture of a layoff and the influence of Mr Warren. Glenn Johnson to this? Its absurd really. Calzaghe should devour Bika like I devour English breakfasts after years away from home. Brutal and messy! ;D

I agree,I think Calzaghe should hunt down the big names!! Now is the not the time to be taking tune ups,he should have made the Jones fight happen or even Taylor.

Its going to be the 'JC Show' and basically a tune up for Joe. I expect him to blast out Bika.
I cant get exited about it as its not so much of a match as a demonstration and tune up.

Tc

If Bika forgets how to move his head then Joe will hit him 1000 times. But if he shows head movement and a few boxing keys Joe can look ordinary. He just had the perfect opponent in front of him in Lacy imo. Not discrediting what Calzaghe did. But if Calzaghe was THAT good he would always look the way he did with Lacy. And if he did Lacy wouldn't have been favored. And one performance shouldn't define how good he is, its whether he's consistant with it imo.

As far as the why...regarding Bika...I would say (& this is only Wacko's erpinee-ern) that it's a bit of Warren, the layoff/injury, & the fact that he has to show out big his first go round on HBO.

If he blasts Bika out...impresses us Yanks...Joe's as good as gold.

Excellent write-up as always,.. I got Joe winning a Desison, i think its a tougher fight then one might realize. I look for a much closer fight . Cool Click for the read Wackmaster ! ;)
