    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.
    Ahhh, mah man... Of course you know I'm gonna support my man. All your points are well seated and as much as I think you're right(cuz you are) how many times have you watched peter fight anywhere in New England...) My point really is that he's a different fighter when he fight at home(sad really).

    It will be a better fight then people think... Peter opens up in front of the home crowd(maybe not good against a moose like Bike)

    Stamina, stamina, stamina. Will Peter have any?

    I know he fights better at home, but a completely shot Pemberton, and a never really was that good Spina, are a different story than Bika.

    I guess you changed you mind on going, because I remember when the fight was first announced, you told me that you were going to go. Is it because it's on a Thursday night, and you don't want to drive there on a work night?
    Ahh, my love... Will he have an stamina... I damn well hope so. Thats why Mora convincingly took the first fight... Thats why he lost against Lacy(and cuz I thing when he was knocked down(although not hurt) It scared the shit out of him).

    You are right that Pemberton was beyond shot ans Spina was just a record and a live body, sure...

    I just know that he'll do his best work in front of the Italian faithful... A mile from the hill? He'll just wanna beat Bika so right after he can grab a "Godfather" sandwich from ROMA gourmet late night.

    Huh?

    Bika just fought in April, and then won The Contender last November, and had 2 fights last October while on The Contender.

    How do you figure he hasn't fought in 1 1/2 years?

    I think Manfredo can pull this out... either way it should be a good scrap!

    I'm actually surprised so many people are giving Manfredo a decent shot.

    I have no doubt that Manfredo is the more skilled fighter, but he can also be a lazy fighter and he has some very bad habits. He let himself get outworked in the Lacy fight and that one was there for that taking. I'm trying to figure how Peter can overcome the physical size/strength disadvantage for 12 rounds. He should be able to counter Bika, and he should be able to box him from the outside. Will he? Over and over, he shows that tendency to lay inside and pick spots while getting outworked, and at SMW, he doesn't do much damage with those inside shots. He can get away with it against Banks or McCrary, but If he does this with Bika he'll probably cut, probably get outworked, and generally not look good, even if he ends up landing the cleaner shots. Maybe that will get him a win in Providence, but I'm not sure it will, even at home, because Bika made even Calzaghe look bad.

    I'll be rooting for Peter, but my brain tells me Bika is going to be a little too much for him. If he wins, it's because he comes in the best condition of his career and he has the legs to box and move for 12.

    that may be what i have to do after the fight!! haha..

    I think Manfredo is going to have a tough fight, and will need to fight on the inside to make it winnable.. He has to get inside those wide hooks and throw short punches on the inside.. He is capable of this, but he just needs to not get caught with any long range bombs on the outside..

    Defense will be key, and he can't be afraid to throw.. Jaidon has a pretty big punch, and landed often against Bika's non-existant defense, so if Peter can land a few of those straight right's like he did against Spina, then i give him a good shot..

    60/40 in favor of Bika.. but i obviously want the Pride to win..

    Depends on what money incentive they give Bika. If it's winner takes all Manfredo has no chance (Bika could probably beat anyone in that situation).

    See, I think he gets inside the wide punches by keeping distance, jabbing, and landing his good straight right down the pipe. I'm afraid that on the inside, he'll get bullied and Bika's wide punches will hurt him more. On the outside, he should be able to see those shots coming, slip and counter. He needs to get inside the hooks without falling in and leaning against him Gatti/Ward style, like he did for much of the Lacy fight.

    Unfortunately my love, I think Peter only has enough stamina to keep getting his wife pregnant, and that's about it.

    This is something I like about Manfredo he's been staying very busy, he's kinda old school in that he'll fight just about anyone. I have a lot of respect for him for that.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
