Comments Thread For: Bika-Dirrell Showdown: BoxingScene Staff Predictions

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After years of never matching his fighters together, Al Haymon continues a running trend of fishing and cutting bait.

All but one of the eight fighters appearing on tonight’s massive SHOWTIME-televised quadruple header enjoy the benefits of plying their trade for the most powerful adviser in the sport. Zab Judah is the only fighter on the telecast, live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, not (yet) under the Haymon banner. [Click Here To Read More]

Looking forward to this one. What a great story it would be if Dirrell could come back from cancer to become a world champion.

Bika will be tough to overcome though. This is a guy who has gone the distance with Andre Ward, Joe Calzaghe, and Lucian Bute (pre Froch.) If Anthony is going to achieve the fairy tale ending he is going to have to earn it.

I've always liked dirrell,strong and fast,as too bad he couldn't fight ward,i really think he had a chance in that fight,i think he's going to ko bika,,,too bad I won't watch it though,the rest of the fights don't interest me enough to stay home...

^ Really? Not even Lara-Trout? or Agbeko-Rigondeaux on HBO?

[turnedup]

Seriously are they once during this entire fight going to warn Dirrell for the elbows and head holding? Holy shhh has the referring being one sided in this one.

Very entertaining bout. Bika is far from technical but he's a beast that keeps coming forward and throwing.

[Frank Ducketts]

Bika lost.
