Ten rounds down, how is Bika still there? 100/88 on my card.
If Bika had any sort of technique or power he would be a force.
Amazing chin on him, but it looks like a light heavy vs a Ww in there.
It's amazing what Bika has accomplished with his terrible coordination.
Bikas right eye messy, chucking big rights and clocking Stevenson here. Dude has grapefruits
Round 11 and again Stevenson wins, but I think he has accepted Bika will go the distance 110/97.
Disappointingly Stevenson was showboating the final round. So bearing in mind one 10/8 should not be, and he had land a few shots, the final round goes to Bika in my book, but still Stevenson wins 119/107.
120-106Quote:

Official scores (all for Stevenson) 115/111 116/110 and 115/110
2 hometown judges find five rounds each for Bika???
Hiawatha, Hiawatha, Hiawatha :-)Quote:

Bizarre, I simple do not see how. Maybe you could have given Bika the first and twelve, but that is it.Quote:

Has Joshua or any of the British card fights happened yet?
I think the first one. Kovalev Coleslaw. Stevenson is a lot easier to hit then he thinks he is. The only shuffle he will have any chance of distracting Kovalev with will be if he comes in Two stone over and does a Goonies 'truffle shuffle 'Quote:

Kovalev is easier to hit than Stevenson.Quote:

Gavern somehow, off the floor, got through round two. Wooo
Joshua needs an opponent. They have to let off a bit on the leash.
Joshua in three...
I think if he wasn't coming back from an injury they would have. I am assuming kingpin is next?Quote:

To clarify...
..this fight wasnt on to showcase AJ, his next fight was supposed to be Kev Johnson.
AJ got injured and had to be out for 5 months. He has only had 10 fights so 5 months off before he fights a world contender is dangerous.
This fight was to shake off rust, hence why it was on a month before his big fight.
For some reason I thought Johnson pulled out. A vapour lock
Stevenson was good and Beterbiev was also good. Stevenson-kovalev is going to be a great fight, but Kovalev wins it IMO.
Kovalev has to show me if he can go 12 hard rounds if need be. Not saying Stevenson will win. That's the only question I have about Kovalev.Quote:

I dont think Stevenson makes it 12 and I dont think he wants anything to do with Kov. Not even a peep after the fight.....again. Haymon knows where his supper hangs and they are not going there. They are going to hope that Kovalev runs into mandatory problems because he has 3 to contend with. Thats already happening with the Ibf. I dont think full unification will happen w/o the Wbc first demanding it which is what they said they were going to do.
Wow Dickinson got clubbed.
I'm thinking Stevenson is the 3rd best Light heavy based out of Montreal these days. I would pick Beterbiev over him EASILY if the fight happened next, Pascal would have my pick to upset him as well. As long as the guy doesn't seem to want Kovalev, I say strip him and let the real superfight in the division gain momentum. Kovalev-Beterbiev will be a clash of cyborgs by the looks of. Christ those two are scary.

I agree with everything stated but the supper part. Haymon has so many in his stable. I am mind boggled at how he brought boxing back to mainstream television and no one else has.
As stated Adonison got a left. Not enough to stop krusher. Not close.
But entertaining fight
