    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.

    I think Bika gets the ugly knockout on Ward... or gets disqualied

    This could turn out to be the ugliest fight of the year. I don't really care who wins, but would like Bika to win as Ward's style repulses me more. Bika is an angel compared to the 'ram of god' with all his butting and holding. It would be quite amusing to see Ward taste a little of what he gave to Kessler. Ward obviously has the advantages, but all it takes is a good old butt to turn things around.

    I don't see this remotely? By reading this thread you would think that Ward is a Dirrell type fighter or something, he doesn't strike me as being to vulnerable at all these days? Sure he will fight dirty, but he's damn good at it, and has a lot of infighting skills. The fact that Bika is crude and scrappy will create all the more openings for Ward to do actual work inside and showcase his skills. Bika put up a decent effort in his fights against Calzaghe and Bute, but that's because they wanted distance to work,Bika got by on pressing forward and being in their chest all night, yet still took a clear beating in both fights. Ward will turn him etc. and outpunch him easily in the pocket rather than look to keep space imo.
