    Sure, Bika has grit. But Gatti had grit up to Jr. Welter and as he continued to campaign up to Welter, his power started to change dramatically.
    Ask Calzaghe. He says Bika was the biggest puncher he faced.

    That was 9 years ago. He hasnt stopped anyone in 3 years. He has not right being in the ring with a light heavy champ and is going to take a beating. Another waste of time fight for "Superman"

    Meh. At this rate Stevenson is likely to sprain an ankle getting away from Kovalev. Bika barely ranked at 168 and never fought 175. Makes sense.

    Agreed. Bika hasn't looked like the Bika of old in quite a while. I think the Calzaghe and Bute fights, among others, took their toll on him. Now he is going up against a devastating puncher at 175? I don't like his chances. His only play is taking the fight into the later rounds, where Stevenson has shown some vulnerability. How much has Stevenson's star fallen? It seems he burst onto the scene only to fall by the wayside soon thereafter for ducking competitive fights.

    Bika is a gatekeeper who got lucky to win a title. Bika could get stopped.

    Lame fight. Bika has never fought at 175 and is coming off of (what should be) 2 losses. But I guess most of the top 175lbers already have fights scheduled.

    Calzaghe is talking utter rubbish. So RJJ, Hopkins, Kessler were light hitters? No one here would say that they are all under Bika.

    Calzaghe was taking the piss...

    I think it was just in the way Bika threw so recklessly, he had a real clubbing power because he'd throw his right hand like he was a right fielder trying to throw someone out at home plate. He would literally put everything he could into those shots, whereas the guys you listed were much more technical with their punches. Hopkins was never really a big puncher, especially at 175. Roy never really displayed the one-punch power at 175 as he did at 168 and below (outside of the Montell Griffin and Virgil Hill fights).

    Sometimes it's not who you'd expect... James Toney was in with some real bangers from 160 to HW and he says the hardest he was ever hit was against Merqui Sosa at MW.

    Stevenson hopes to keep bika off with that jab and snipe at the end of his range with that big left. Bika cant pull the trigger anymore so it he'll try to walk through it and probably run right into one as he has no lateral movement and is easy to line up straight down the middle which makes him tailor made for Stevenson.

    If he does get inside it will interesting to see how superman reacts to getting mauled in close and a few chopping hands to side/back area of the head. Will tie up, he step back and resume sniping or will he fall to his knees and start crying foul. Getting stevenson to mix it up and brawl is Bikas only shot really.

    the fight looks good on paper but as been mentioned, bika is past his best and 175 is too high in weight for him i think. i give him a chance to win but not a great one. i just dont know if he will have the power to seriously hurt adonis.

    So, the rest of the top Light Heavies fight each other , while Adonis rejects all that and takes on a SMW moving up 5 years past his sell by! seriously, whoever wins, who gives a Flying fuck? sure, on paper it looks alright, but you know what they say....... "Paper fighters win Paper cups!"
