Comments Thread For: Sakio Bika Open To Facing Carl Froch in Nottingham Clash

[lefthook2daliva]

Bika is basically like a new-age Glen Johnson. He's awkward, hits hard, has a steel chin, never stops coming forward, and despite having an awkward wide open style, is hard to hit cleanly. He gave Calzaghe a hell of a fight. Up until this point, he's the only guy in Ward's entire professional career to actually give him a good scrap. Ward clearly won the fight, but Bika really made Ward earn it. I love Froch, but this would be a very dangerous fight, and it'd be a harder fight then Bute due to Bika's awkward durability.

Bika has also gotten a lot better as a fighter since he fought Calzaghe and Bute as well. Before he fought Ward he looked good against Manfredo, and was looking good against Mendy, and was ready to put him away in the very first round only to get overzealous and hit Mendy while he was down. Bika is right below elite IMO. And, despite Bute beating him years ago, I'd actually favor Bika in a rematch due to the fact I feel Bika's improved since then. I'd give Bika a solid chance to beat anybody in the SMW division except Ward.

This would a great fight though. It'd a fast paced brawl.

Great post.

I would love to see Froch/Bika. Froch's gotta' be favored, but Bika would be a scary live underdog.

Also think Bika/Pavlik would be a great matchup, but in this case would have Bika the favorite with Kelly the dangerous underdog.

Go Bika! You got fans, mang!

If Froch is looking for rounds Bika is the best choice.......
