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

[Fenster]

Does anyone think Bika's wild winging dirty style could get "lucky?" Jesus has been hurt in the past, he enjoys letting his fists go, which gives a wild swinger a chance, and Bika is granite tough.

The bookies have it as a virtual mismatch. You can back Bika for the KO at around 8/1.

Who's with me and Sakio?

anything can happen when fighting a wild swinger like sakio bika but this time he's fighting a very clever, defensive fighter in andre ward. i'd agree that bika is as solid an opponent as they come but i believe ward will be too slick for him and cruise to a comfortable decision victory.

Why are you referring to Andre Ward as "Jesus" ? Because he calls himself "Son of God" and is religious ?

I would assume so.

Anyway I'm pullin for BIka to score the upset. He damn sure isn't going to outbox Ward, but if he lands a big overhand right then he could hurt Ward badly and finish him.

Ward does like a rough fight himself, so I expect it to be a dirty fight with headbutts, hitting on the break, rough in close fighting etc.

That works in Bika's favor.

[Nameless]

Bika has the style to make it rough for anybody, ask to Calzaghe or Bute. I would still give the edge to Ward but I could imagine him winning in a fight where he doesn't look that good due to Bika's style.

[Hulk]

I seem to remember Bute having a much easier time with Bika than Calzaghe did. Seemed like Bika hardly won a round. I could be wroing tho.

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.

[ono]

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