Is Ward sending a strong message to Bute? By fighting Bika.

[starkiller]

Bika has looked really good lately, if Ward has a tough time I expect people to talk **** about Ward. I don't expect Ward to look insanely great against Bika. Bika might be older but I could be wrong, but I swear he is a new improved Bika. Maybe its just the opposition making him look good/great so far? How good was Mendy suppose to be before Bika fought him?

I don't think ward really had any control over who his opponent was. I think it was just a matter of the next best possible opponent available (bika is (or very recently was) ranked #6 at SMW).

right here...if it was up to Ward theyd fight a Pudwil rematch probably.

As far as the fight goes it will be another ugly Ward fight so not sure what message will be sent.
