Stevenson v Bika Aug 11 in Montreal

First video just reminds me how AWFUL to watch Ward is most of the time. Ugly ass fighter. I've decided he's not even close to the quality of a Mayweather IMO. Without the constant holding Bika would have had him in the shit in the last couple of rounds.

On the thread. Should be a great fight, but I'm gonna roll with Bika stopping Stevenson....

Holy crap is this a barn burner. I've seen Bika outboxed (Calzaghe, Bute, Ward), but I've never seen him be outbombed. Adonis may be the man to do it. Bika is the ultimate truth maker. Unless I'm mistaken, this is for a mandatory shot at Froch's belt. I wonder if Froch takes a fight against the winner at this stage in his career.

Froch will never lose his durability, he's born with and endoskeleton. Froch would eat this guys

He's not that far ahead of the curve. Stevenson is young and does not yet have the experience to fight a Carl Froch. This is great prep with Bika to that end.The kid has only had 18 fights. Not many prospects/contenders taking this kind of risk so early in this safety first protect the "0" ERA.

Froch has a rematch date with Bute and then he will take a holiday and has earned the right of option.
They will have had about three more so-called eliminators before Froch is obligated to consider his mandatory. Froch has earned the coming paydays. A mandatory defense is 2 years away. That would be about the right time unless Carl decides to call it quits.

Stevenson got splattered by Darnell Boone inside 2 rounds! Look at the video above.

Stevenson is not beating Bika, hes not durable enough or a good enough boxer to deal with that aggresion, strength, power and stamina. He will get caught at some point and he will get hurt. When he does, Bika will be on him like a shark!

Fat wife aside, Bika is the fucking man.

As Ross said, only the elite guys of division have beaten him. Stevenson has looked impressive but against mediocre guys.

I'm a big Bika fan and gotta go with him by TKO.

With retrospect, the Bute v Bika fight either made Bute look good or Bika look bad with the Froch result. Why couldnt Bika hurt Bute?

Never know, if this Stevenson fight comes off, Bika may just be an in demand opponent for Kessler, Froch and Bute.

To be honest, its probably more likely to be a rematch with Bute as im pretty sure Froch and Kessler will be rematching later this year
