Anywhere else, he chokes.

So, if Manfredo has any chance to beat Bika, it would be in his back yard.
It shows how mismanaged Mundines career is that he might be fighting on an undercard to a main event that features two guys who he'd toy with and beat easily. Dickhead.
There is no chance Mundine would toy with Bika. Even Calzaghe couldn't "toy" with Bika and Mundine isn't half the fighter Calzaghe is. Bika is tough customer and he would give Mundine all he could handle. Mundine might well win, but he would be in for a tough fight.

This might be the last hurrah for Manfredo. His tendency to get lazy and lay on the inside will play right into Bika's hands. If Manfredo boxes from the outside like he did in the first half of the Lacy fight, he'll give himself a chance, but it seems like every time things get scary for him, he falls back into bad habits. Manfredo is actually a much more skilled boxer than Bika, but Bika is stronger, bigger, and much tougher.
