Sakio Bika-vs-Jesus - Possible Upset? Fact.

[Cressa121]

This fight isn't part of the Super Six is it? If so, what happens if Bika does win? He gets the belt and Ward advances into the semi finals anyway? This could make the tournament even more disappointing if the leader gets beat in a fight outside the tournament then has to "re-enter" at the semi final stage

Regardless of what happens Ward, Abraham, Froch, and Johnson are into the semi-finals.

I think this is too much of an obvious pick for an upset and therefore it won't happen. Ward 120-108.

I think Ward proved in the Green fight that he can walk a guy into the ropes and go to work. He can deifinitely fight a guy in close quarters, and i expect the that in this fight. Ward by UD

Bika I really don't like just as he's such an over the top dirty fighter. I say Ward is in for a tough night. Ward plays with the head, Bika will do it worse. As much as I despise the guy, especially after his disgraceful punch on Mendy when he was down, he doesn't deserve this fight at all, he is a beast and is absolutely teak tough. Ward gets careless, Bika can certainly punch and Ward will be seeing stars. I absolutely don't think that Ward has the power to put Bika off at all, so needs to be ready to keep him on the end of the jab all night. Beating Green the way he did means nothing against Bika, Green is not in a million years as rough and tough as Bika.

....ward will beat the shit out of bika. The crap ward does is frustrating, and bika is exactly the type to be frustrated by everything ward does then on top of that ward will be punching him too. I wouldn't be surprised if they dq bika in the locker room.

Some good points here boys.

Whoever lands the best headbut could well determine the winner.

Me too, only I'll go as far to say Ward will stop him. Look at it this way, Dirrell backed out of fighting him (whether due to serious health issues or made up ones), Ward is the only fighter in the Super Six that hasn't lost, and Sakio Bika although good, durable, and having fought (and done well) vs many top contenders....he hasn't been in the ring with a quality opponent in quite some time. I know Ward doesn't have significant 1 punch power, but perhaps he hurts him and flurries to finish him off.

The upset just seems too predictible IMO and I figure something shocking will happen that will make it seem like Dirrell made the wise choice by not fighting Ward

It's possible Ward stops him, but I highly doubt it. Ward couldn't stop Miranda or Green after dominating them for 12 rounds each. I see this fight as going the same way. Ward using angles, holding, and fighting on the inside to dominate to a decision. Bika will make Ward work harder than Green though.

The reason why Fenster may have a point with the upset call in my eyes is that Bika has a solid chin and may be able to walk through Ward's punches. I just don't see someone as talented as Ward losing to someone as limited as Bika. It would be a big-time upset.
