Bika was the one who withdrew from that match... not Green's problem.
Miranda has been on quite the losing spree since his win over Green. Pavlik, Abraham and getting shut out by Andre Ward right before the tournament came together didn't help his case much.
Wasn't it about a visa problem or something? I think Bika needed another week? Not sure though.
It might have been... I also heard his finances were not in line or something dumb like that.
I didn't hear about just needing another week. That would have been a really good fight.
I like Bika and feel a bit sorry for him. He sure hasn't had the chances his talent should have given him. I guess this tells you the importance of having a good manager.

He's had a shot at Bute and Calzaghe, and he won The Contender. It's not like he has been super underexposed.

That's right, but he won the IBO belt and hasn't been able to get any fights. As I said I'm not an expert on Bika, but think he has been in the ring far too little in the last couple of years. Getting a crack at Green would have been a nice break for him.
I think so too. Dibellas fighter Taylor out. Enter Dibellas fighter Green. I also felt it was a bit shady how the sneaked out of a qualifier against Bika.
It could also be argued that Miranda was more deserving of a place than Green.
I would bet that there was a deal with the promoters that if their guy dropped, they got a fighter related to them in or something along those lines.

I mean... as ****ty as sanctioning bodies are... at least they have mandatory shots that people like Bika can work towards... I don't feel too bad for him.

Does IBO have mando's? It's a fact that Bika won the belt in 2008 and that he hasn't defended it at all.
