Calzaghe totally fought to the level of his opponant and considring the type of opponant Bika is and the tactics he employs this really wasnt the wisest of moves. For what its worth I thought Bika was a little hard done by. Calzaghe was at fault for the cut IMO but Bika's reputation went before him and any head work was automatically judged to be his doing.

Calzaghe made hard work of an average opponant but it really was no surprise. Snakey I dont think anyone expected Bika to get blown away. Like Calzaghe, you are getting carried away
No what i mean is, after calzaghe became the second coming after beating lacy, bika was supposed to be easy work for such a great champion. All i mean is for a guy who was supposed to get beat badly, bika apparently didnt do too bad.

Don't worry Snakey us British fans will merely respond by elavating Bika to being one of the very best 169 lbers out there, almost as good a fighter in his division as Collzao is amongst the welterweights

By the way did you see Calzaghe's face after the Maccarinelli fight? Man he looked how Arthur Abraham would have looked if his fight with Miranda would have gone 15 rounds!
