It's not safe.

Ward best be bringing his A game. Sakio seems determined to make a statement. Can he touch Ward's less than proven beard?

I think this is the sleeper of the weekend and the month. We will know a lot more about Ward after this one (unless Bika manages to get DQed early, again).

One thing Bika always makes for is an ugly scrappy affair, your right about Ward needing his A-game for this one Smarty. This is one of those, "we'll learn a lot about the young up and comer" sort of fights

i have a feeling bika will be a little more trouble for ward then some might be thinking.... he has very good power in his punches and if nothing else he will keep the fight interesting.. ward will def have to bring his a game as beardo said... bika is very dangerous...

I honestly think that this has an outside shot to turnout to be the fight of the month and maybe the year.

if bika gets dq'd like last time that means ward has been blasted out... bika fucked himself in his last fight... lol... mendy was done...

Bika cannot win on the cards. The fix is in unless he scores a clean KO.

I agree.

Absolute crap. Everyone knows that robberies only happen in Europe.

Yeah with his crude style Bika cannot compete with a fighter of American Olympic pedigree let alone win a decision.

You have with out a doubt never been to Oakland.


Yeah, it is very unlikely that the judges would have to rob Bika in a decision. But in that unlikelihood they would not fail to leave Sakio blind. In fact, he could lose even if he KTFO Ward, given his obvious record of uncouth behavior.

No robbery will happen. Ward will win quite clearly! Bika will have a few moments though.

Unless Bika Sakios the shit outta him.

It would be interesting to see Ward try to fight dirty like he has done in his last 3 fights against Bika, but I think he tries to fight smart in this one.

I think Ward will pull it out no matter if he has to fight dirty again!

I think Ward will win this on points but he ain't no star for the American boys and hopefully he gets stretched.

Andre Ward is probably the dirtiest active fighter on the scene today...he's like a fuckin' Froch/Hatton hybrid...no skills, no versatility, no Class.........

Agreed



Also I agree. I hate it when fighters fight in their hometowns.
