No one, outside of people in his family/camp/fans in Australia, saw Bika as having a real chance to win the fight tbh. Still, Bika was rugged enough to make a fight out of it, last the rounds, and not go out like a chump; the onus was on Stevenson to try and do what no other fighter has been able to do, stop Sakio Bika.
Stevenson came in with his power, ended up being the first guy to actually do damage to Bika, but he wasn't ever really close to stopping him.
You put Bika in the ring with Kovalev, and Kovalev doesn't stop him; he likely wins a 10-2 decision, but he doesn't stop "The Scorpion".Comment

Nobody has ever came close to stopping Bika and he has fought a real whose who.
Stevenson was impressive once again and didn't allow Bika to fight his normal ugly ass fight. He completely neutralised everything controlled the tempo and range and made him pay or tied him up everytime he got wreckless.
Fans can't put Stevensons past behind them and delude themselves into seeing and believing negativities about him. They truly can not wait for him to lose so they can finally claim he has been exposed as a bum or whatever they claim. Throw enough **** at a wall and something will stick.
Fact is Stevenson is a bad dude and a problem for anyone at or around LHW and yes that includes Ward & Kovalev.
Any southpaw with that handspeed, athleticism, one punch power, reflexes, counterpunching ability is a problem.
He is a hell of a lot better than he gets credit for. You don't have to like him as a person but you better respect him as a fighter.Comment

1. Bika was gifted a world title in a fight that should have went to Periban.
2. Bika hasn't been stopped in part of him fighting with his down and his opponents being scared of death of being KO via wild swaying head butt.
3. Bika is old and a fighter who has fought his whole career at 168lbs. For Stevenson to be impressive in this fight he would have needed the KO. But as it stands he went the distance with a old, smaller gate keeper.
-You can't point to a single fight that Bika was in where he took a beating from an opponent.
-Stevenson isn't a career light heavyweight either, about two years removed from fighting at 168 himself.Comment

Stevenson dominated just about everything, anything he didn't dominate was because he was running outa gas and just wanted to coast.Comment
