So is Lucian Bute the real deal or what then folks?

Their only common opponent is the tough South African Andre Thysee whom they both completely outscored each with very similar results - although Sakio's body-punching gave Andre fits.

Lucian, who recently fought Sergey Tatevosyan has the better speed, technique & boxing savvy to do a shut-out on Bika.... But does he have the punch-power to keep Bika off him ?

I couldnt believe the size of Bika at Super middleweight - its difficult to believe he used to fight at middle...

thoughts ?

Very good match-up. Both guys should be commended for this one.

Bika's very good with dealing with awkward opponents, so the southpaw stance of Bute isn't going give him much of a problem, & while Bute is quicker & more skilled, he's no Calzaghe.

Favour Bika by close decision, basically wearing him down in the later rounds.
