IMO a good choice before fighting Andrade. - what do you guys think?

--Anybody want to bet against Kessler? I'd like to put 20k on kessler

I think it is a high risk for kessler to take Bika as sparring partner,Bika is a very dirty fighter,just ask Calzaghe

Bika is a good big strong fellow how likes to brawl. Good traning on the inside imo.

Considering Sakio Bika is in the top 10 super middleweights around at the moment, there isn't a much better sparring partner Mikkel Kessler could have chosen. Big, strong, powerful etc, he'll provide a great workout. Kessler better be careful Bika doesn't try to use this as a chance to prove what he can do, otherwise the fight with Librado Andrade might be called off.

I would be surprised if Bika is as dirty a sparring partner as he is fighting.
Andrade has the reach to fight his way to the inside, and i think to have a guy like Bika in your face for a few weeks, is just what Kessler needs to prepare.

He was on his way to beating Beyer, and he's a dirty, strong fighter similar to Andrade, good opponent to train with.
