So WHO ya Got???... REED is Rolling w/Jaidon...He was ALOT more LIKABLE on the "Contender" than REED was Led to Believe... & Jaidon has Looked AWESOME Dispatching of Brian Vera & Wayne Johnsen in 3 Rounds COMBINED... Codrington ISN'T as BAD as Allan Green Made him Look, N REED's Opinion...& Though Sakio Bika is a TOUGH, GRITTY, EXPERIENCED Cat, he's a Little Tooooooo BASIC All Around to BEAT Codrington.... REED likes Codrington by UNANIMOUS Decision... Thoughts???...Predictions???... REED
I rather think Bikky is the likeable one, when he was a little boy collecting Scorpions in Cameroon, one bit him and he reportedly fell face first into the dry african dirt while foaming from the mouth, he named himself after the Scorpion, proving that he doesn't have to be a child soldier to produce some good old fashion fucken regimented respect, I like that, Snakio will knock him out.
I guess he's lucky he wasn't bitten by a little boy giving him fellatio, huh? Sakio Kid Cocksucker Bika is a cool nickname and all, but it probably would have kept him off of The Contender.
Uh! startled cherp, Bik might eat children, but he aint "in" to em'..:nono: ''poppy'' uses his floppy proboscus to stir the voodoo pot under the indigenous rights and religious freedoms act, but what have you heard about Bik and minors?.. *concerned..:nono: (truelly concerned, as Im related to Sakio :doh: )..
If Bika tighten up on D and just catches Jaidon it's over. With Pep in his corner I'm sure he bridge the gap.opcorn:
Will the judges allow Bika to win, if he doesn´t ko Codrington. I think I´ll throw some money at Bika as the betting underdog.
I'm going with Jaidon as well. I like Bika too, he's a tough dude with lots of experience and he gave Calzaghe a very tough fight. I think its a very competitive fight and Jaidon's quickness will be the difference. Codrington via UD.
"Dispatching of Brian Vera & Wayne Johnsen" Exactly, he fought lesser guys than Bika, thus he would look better, Bika takes him.
I hear what you're saying... but I'm not convinced Bika is the type to expose either flaw. I think Jaidon will win a decision. As impressive as he's looked in the first two rounds of the tournament, though, I'd be shocked if he knocks out Bika, and will give him mad props if he can pull it off.
i'm not sure who wins, but one thing is for sure, i'm looking forward to this fight more than the previous two finals.
agREED... Bika's already a Top 10 contender, and Jaidon becomes one with a win. My only problem is, I don't ever envision either one becoming a champion. But that said, I'd give Jaidon a better chance than Mora or Grady Brewer, and Bika a better chance than Manfredo or, in his case, Forbes winning another title.
Jaidon is a VICTIM of Boxing's Version of the "Chicken-Egg" Theory, N REED's Opinion... Was the Chicken 1st or the Egg???... N Boxing, when a Guy Gets KO'ed is his Chin WEAK or was he just Caught by a BIG Puncher???:dunno: ... Make NO Mistake about it, Allan Green IS a BIG PUNCHER...& he was AMPED UP for that Fight w/Jaidon...As EMBARRASSING as it was, REED Doesn't Think that Fight is a Proper Reflection on Jaidon as a Fighter... Dude is Now UNDERRATED N REED's Opinion...He Came Out Looking to "Feel" Green Out & Got CAUGHT...Yet Everybody Points @ that 1 Fight & ASSume that ANY Fighter could Do that to Jaidon... Even Cats like Brian Vera & Wayne Johnsen Made this MISTAKE... REED Certainly ISN'T Predicting GREATNESS for Codrington, but he's TALENTED Enough to Win a Trinket Down the Road... REED
This is JUST the Type of DOGFIGHT Jaidon Need's to RESTORE Himself...Bika's WINNING, but Jaidon's Showing a TON of Heart... REED:cheer:
Me and Double L exhibitly tear the arse out of this place when it comes to predictions , I guess this thread oughta put the "curse" myth to rest fellas,..
I stand very, very corrected. And damn, in response to Double L, of all predictors. I guess shotness resumes. Fun fight, feel bad for Jaidon, but agREED with TWIN that he's destined for damaged goods. A shame. Should've been Curtis.
Bika was always the better fighter and I'm happy for the psuedo Australian. Great guy and simply more "man" than Jaidon. Sometimes that matters more than any amount of percieved polish, or lack of orthodox skills. Codrington just never could match up, IMO.
Didn't he have to give him up, anyway? I thought the deal was, once you sign up for the Contender, you fight under their promotional banner. But damn, curious to see how ToC builds on this. At least with the past two, they had something to work with. Mora-Manfredo wasn't a fight that warranted a rematch, but they did it anyway, and Peter at least fought well enough to where they could sell him as an attraction on their own. Brewer-Forbes, though a snoozer, was close enough to where Stevie's rep as a "best of the rest" type contender remained intact, and enough to land the fight with D-Hop. And that fight was enough to garner enough sympathy to where fans wanted to see him get one more money fight... and so on. With this - you either feed Bika back to the wolves (he already proved he has no business sharing a ring with Calzaghe or Bute) or have him go the Mora route for the rest of his career. And what do you do with Jaidon? I know that ToC specializes in selective matchmaking, but damn. Does he go up against fellow Contender cast members for the next few years? Or does Wald just get him a win and then cash him out? Either way, I don't see a lot of returns coming back for Wald out of this year's batch.
