Bika batters Manfredo!

If you were a matchmaker would you set her up with Calzaghe or Tarver? ::

Can anyone post or pm me a place to download this fight. I missed it. I thought that Versus had their fights archived. I remember going to a site like that and watching a fight I missed but I guess I am wrong.

 

you didnt miss much. manfredo got his ass kicked in round 3 and got stopped on his feet. bika threw some ugly ass punches but somehow managed to land most of them due to manfredo's shittiness.

codrington vs. gill was awful too except codrington landed some hail-mary shots in the last round.

i didnt bother watching brewer vs. k-9.

 

I still want to see it. ONE OF my buddies was an olympic alternate and he sparred with Codrington. He told me that guy hit harder then anyone he ever fought and by a country mile. He said Lacy was known for being a hard hitter and Codrington was harder in his opinion. Even though he is a NY hype job, Codrington disaapoints.

 

codrington does hit hard. he throws bricks w/ them wide shots, but even against that bum w/ a losing record, he was getting tagged and i didnt like the way he reacted. he leaves chin wide open and will get KTFOed again when he fights someone who's decent.

but yea, he fucked that dude up in the last round. he was staggering around the ring senseless although he managed to stay on his feet.

Nah. Unlike Calzaghe, Bika actually landed meaningful punches and Peter was definately hurt prior to the stoppage. I know you're just messing with me, but there is no comparison between the stoppage in this fight and the joke stoppage in the Calzaghe fight.

Link to the fight, if you didn't see it.

 

no doubt... and unlike the Joe fight, there's really little reason to believe Peter will go on to accomplish much at this point. The premature stoppage in the Joe fight at least gave Manfredo a little wiggle room. The Lacy loss didn't help much, but this one pretty much kills him. Not that there's any shame in losing to Bika, just that he wasn't remotely competitive.

 

I can't disagree with you here. The Bika fight has ended his chances of making any noise at 168.

I don't know if it would make much (or any) difference, but I've never thought he should be fighting at 168. I always thought he would be a better fighter at 154 or 160 and that 168 wasn't the right class for him. He doesn't seem strong enough for the top fighters at 168 and I think he could probably drop down a weight class or two.

Maybe it's all just wishful thinking on my part (and that he is really a genuinely nice kid and I want to see him succeed), but if he decides to continue his career, I'd like to see him do so at 154 or 160.
