Lucian Bute vs. Sakio Bika on June 15

[Steelhammer86]

This is an excellent matchup, with both of them ranked in the top ten by Ring Magazine. What do you think is going to happen? Who will win?

Whoever wins this fight becomes the mandatory challenger against Alejandro Berrio for the IBF Super Middleweight title.

Well, the new name is kind of like "BostonGuy", because I'm Joe from Canada, so it represents who I am: Joe boxing fan in Canada.

But vote on this poll - this is going to be a good fight, a tough fight for both. Sakio Bika is persistant, smart, tricky, tough and difficult, while Lucian Bute reminds me of Pavlik with his accurate, hard punching.

He's not koing/tko Sakio bika. Sakio Bika is underrated, he is a tough sob. He is probably going to get a decision over him.

Bika is tough as nails, but check out Bute on YouTube - does his style look similar to Kelly Pavlik, the way he backs his opponents up? It's going to be interesting, and it's televised on ESPN Friday Night Fights .

Some of you don't want to admit it, but this fight can go either way. Bika gave Calzaghe problems, unless you consider Calzaghe crap. Then well, bikas going to give Bute some problems.

I agree, EliteSoldier...it will be a tough fight. Bute's not as technically skilled as Calzaghe (nobody is) but he punches harder. Calzaghe doesn't hit as hard since that hand injury he had a couple of years ago, so he didn't really hurt the hard-headed Bika. But I think Bute may win by stoppage.
