Manfredo VS. Bika poll

[Tysonbruno]

Right ive gone for Manfredo points win but wouldn't be shocked to see a Bika KO win he is one of if not the pysically strongest super middleweights.

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

Well although it's a possibility I just don't see Bika catching and hurting Manfredo... The Lacy "knockdown" is the only time he's been down in his career and he's never been hurt. You are correct in Bika being VERY strong and if Manfredo gets caught he'll know he got hit

Nah... I'll watch it on TV... Every seat is a good seat at the Dunk though... You can buy "shitty" tickets and the ring is still like "right there"... I went to the Pemberton and Spina fights... Well I was still living in RI then so it was easier... I have a 46" LCD... I think I'll just watch it on VersusHD rather then go all the way down.

If I was you I'ld deffo go. I'm still kicking myself about not going to Newcastle last year for the UK v USA Contender. Especially as Bundrage v Brewer is on the undercard. I'm looking forward to that.

I'm a fan of Manfredo, but I doubt he'll beat Bika. In fact, I think it is a pretty gutsy fight for Manfredo to take. Manfredo may be a better boxer than Bika, but not by much, and Manfredo tends to tire in later rounds. Manfredo will land more punches than Bika in the beginning while Bika lands more powerful punches. Manfredo will slow toward the end and Bika will take advantage.

I took Bika to win for two reasons

1) Manfredo's stamina, I don't think Peter will be able to get to Bika early which he needs to do to be effective in this fight.

2) Bika can be as dirty a fighter as they come, I think this will frustrate Peter and will lull him into fighting at Bika's tempo.

Peter is a pretty tough guy though, so I don't see a stoppage. I think the first half of this fight should be entertaining and close, the second half being lopsided for Bika. I'm rooting for Manfredo to get a win here though.

Suprised so many people are giving Peter Manfredo a chance, no offense POB but Sakio Bika has only really lost once convincingly. To Lucian Bute who is tall and fights on the outside, other than that Sakio Bika has so far always done well against some of the top Super Middleweights, where as Peter Manfredo has never done well against any top opposition at Middleweight or Super Middleweight.

I think Peter Manfredo will get outhustled here, Sakio Bika although his punching technique could do with some work. Is still very strong physically and he has a solid chin, i think Sakio Bika will be too much for Peter Manfredo. And i can see Sakio Bika stopping Peter Manfredo late on or winning a comfortable UD.

What was awesome was the contender finale at the TD Banknorth Garden... That's like a mile away from me and Codrington Bika... Now that was a friggin fight!

I was in the 6th row!

That was a great night!!. My girlfriend surprised me with tickets and we were in the 7th row up (not the floor seats) and dead center to the ring. The whole card was entertaining, I thought. I enjoyed the Banks vs McCrary fight a lot, and I really enjoyed watching Vera beat on Max Alexander. The Bika/Codrinton fight was terrific.

The scorpion will prevail unless he doesn't get robbed as it's Manfredo's backyard.

This is true... Should it be a close fight there could be some controvercy which I fucking hate... I watched a kid get ROBBED that was brought in as an opponant vs Eddie Sotto on a Gary Balletto card a while back... Horrible.

I hope that one of them makes it easy on the judges and either wins convncinly either on points or KO... I hate controvercial decisions...

Anthony Bonsante v Jesse Brinkley 2 was fukking bad. On the same night Manfredo got robbed against Mora in the remacth. Awful judges on hand that night, you needed a KO for the right man to win
