Sakio Bika underated

[ykdadamaja]

Sakio Bika has to be the hardest working supermiddle in the world today.

This past year he has fought 3 young undefeated class super middles. Genuine super middles, not dehydrated light heavies or blown up middles or faded names but 3 ambitious hungry, fresh undefeated fighters. He was unlucky not to get the win last night as he made the fight the whole night.

Bika is what he is, you know exactly what you are getting. Your moneys worth!

I hope he gets a big name opponent soon. He will make good money against Chavez Jr and if Chavez cant legitimately beat or even hurt Brian Vera who has been knocked out before, hes in for a rude awakening against Bika!

Not underrated. Just limited.

When people are picking Chavez Jr over him, even after Chavez last fight, he is being under rated!

Name another top super middle who has managed to have 3 fights this year? Or last 3 opponents undefeated?

Bika is an animal and is good for boxing. He gets through his fights on will alone and shows that anyone can win and become a world champion no matter how limited, as long as they have an iron will.

I never said he wasn't tough, or had the heart or will to win- but when we see other skilled fighters and then we look at him, we have to say that his skills are limited and it's probably why most observers don't take him seriously.

The question always lingers- when he gets in there with top flight fighters, what would happen? He will always be the underdog in fights. That's just the way it will be for him UNLESS he can show better skills.

Not that he won't win out the majority of his next fights, but he will be a nightmare for bookies and gaming-houses around the world. And nobody wants to mess with a bookie's spread!

You better believe Ward takes him seriously!

I think we all agree that Ward is todays best super middle and Bika nearly had him out at the end of their fight. If the refs stopped Ward holding he would have been at least dropped. He couldn't ope and had to hold.

Bika also gave Calzaghe one of his hardest fights. Its not as easy as saying that Ward doesn't get hit much then look at Bika and laugh because when the two actually fought Bika had more success than anyone else ever has had against Ward and treated him like a rag doll

Bika is a wild-man. Lets call it that.

Bika is very underrated and has been for years.

A lot of people suggest that Bute was protected and fought nothing but hand picked patsies up here in Canada, but I think the fact that he chose to bring up and fight Bika disproves that notion alone.

Bika of course is limited, but he is a true warrior and very game. Other than the DQ to Mendy and an early MD to Soliman, he has only lost to real upper-echelon fighters in his career.
