Ward definitely won. The fight was def closer than the scorecards and Bika did give Ward problems the first half of the fight. The second half, Ward was landing more cleaner and effective shots.
Love this thread. I been saying it since years - Bika got robbed. I had him winning by 2 points. The scorecards were a disgrace - I remember the judges gave pretty much every single round to Ward. If Bika wouldn't have gassed out, he would have won a pretty wide decision on my scorecard.
1 of the few pfp fighters that didn't cherrypick (until the attempt to fight Pavlik), clear cherrypick by team Ward. But somehow fans find something to hate, however baseless & laughable.
Ward won a tough ugly fight. It happens sometimes in the sport of boxing. Sometimes there are fighters who's style can make an overall better fighter struggle. It happens. Doesn't mean they won, nor does it mean the fighter who struggle isn't any good. Ward still found a way to win, like he always does.
