I thought Ward won pretty handedly. He made a mistake standing and trading but perhaps he wanted to prove he could and still win. If he fought his normal fight, he might have stopped Bika.
huh? you lost me, friend.
A lot of people have stated things regarding how Ward would dominate "Calslappy" if they had ever fought. As you mentioned, Ward had a more difficult time than Calzaghe had with a cut on his head against Bika years prior.
I am not one to normally buy into triangle theories but I would think that Ward would have dispatched of Bika in dominating fashion if he were that much better than Calzaghe. Especially when considering Bika was not in his prime and had sustained another loss after the Calzaghe loss.
I think that Calzaghe would have worked Ward over had they fought in their primes (if that were possible) but there are plenty that think the opposite as well.
right. and Ward fought the best Bika. that guy improved as a fighter following his losses to Calzaghe and Bute.
Nah man, Ward is p4p#1, he would smash Joe.....LMAO. Ward would have gotten messed the frick up, that's all I know. :boxing:
ward showed grit and won in convincing fashion....
Love it how guys with the fighter in their avatar in question try to say something about controversy in a fight, your opinion doesn't matter here because of the simple fact people will immediately think it's bias, however Lieutenant Worf aka Andre Ward won this fight by two rounds on my scorecard
Bika looked good till he got headbutted a lot and gassed a bit. Ward also figured him out over the rounds.
As much as I like Bika as a fighter, it wasn't close. Troll thread.
Clearly a ward ud, bika won some rounds though.
I remember this fight being pretty competitive, 7-5 or 6-4. I thought Ward won but it was a close fight with some hard rounds to score. Bika outworked Ward and drew him in to a brawl in the first half of the fight, but Ward was more effective throughout the full 12 rounds, Bika also won the last round as Ward tired towards the end.
There is a part in me that believes you wouldn't make this thread if you believed Ward won the fight, yet you voted for him in the poll.
I'm sick and tired of reading dumb fans say Bika won. This poll was to shut those people up. It was an ugly fight, not a close fight. It wasn't even tough to score IMO, Ward clearly won overall, but Bika didn't make the win easy. Ward had to hustle for it and be aggressive. People confuse this and call it a "close fight".
