Bika could be facing Allan Green on December 18th in the Super Six tournament

By Eric Thomas: According to the latest boxing news tip, super middleweight contender Sakio Bika (28-4-2, 19 KO’s) could be the replacement for WBC super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler for a fight against American Allan Green (29-2, 20 KO’s) on December 18th in the stage 3 part of the Super Six tournament. There will reportedly be discussions this week with Bika’s promoter and Showtime to put the fight together. The bout, if it gets made, will be shown on the same card as the WBC light heavyweight match-up between champion Jean Pascal and 45-year-old Bernard Hopkins.

Bika, 31, was disqualified in the 1st round in his last fight in July against Jean Paul Mendy. Bika had Mendy in the corner and dropped him with a powerful left hook. Rather than waiting for Mendy to get up before finishing him off, Bika landed a hard right hand while Mendy was on his knees. The punch knocked Mendy out cold briefly. Referee Joe Cortez immediately disqualified Bika for the foul. It was an unfortunate accident on Bika’s part, because he landed a beautiful left hook and it’s extremely doubtful that Mendy would have survived the round. Bika looked too powerful for him.

Green, 31, lost his last fight in the Super Six tournament to Andre Ward by a shutout 12 round decision in June. Green was supposed to be facing Kessler, but he dropped out of the Super Six tournament, complaining of an eye injury. Green will have his hands full with Bika if he ends up being the replacement. Green has to fight a lot better than he did against Ward if he wants to beat the likes of Bika. Green probably can punch as hard, if not harder, than Bika, but he’s got to be more aggressive if he wants to win this fight.

    Bika deserves his place in the Super 6. A tough fighter with plenty of guts.

  • Dominico says:

    Hopkins-Pascal will be on Showtime, this why they try to put Green-Bika on the same card, they already try to fix Andrade-Braehmer, but Braehmer don’t want the fight, anyway Braehner gonna loose his belt to Cleverly the obligatory defense.

    I like Taylor,If only he could learn to put his defense into motion when he tires,another words put his gloves up around his chin.

  • the professor says:

    Great replacement Guy, Sakio Bika is going to win the super 6 tournament hands down. After Bika winner the Tournament then Bu’te and Bika has some unfinish business to take care of. Bika would love to fight Bu’te again. Foundly Bika is going to crack some a-s.

  • Velvet says:

    HBO don’t want Hopkins anymore. He is too old and boring. Same thing about Hopkins-Dawson.

  • markmcb says:

  • Donkey Punch says:

    How can a Showtime fight be shown on the same card as a HBO fight ?

    I think someone needs to think about what they wrote there !!

  • Ringside says:

    Ward would have a field day on bika beat him senseless. Bika looks strong but the facts of the matter he has weak legs which causes him to stumble around the ring like a drunk. Fighting ward like that will get him a oneway beating.

  • Davey says:

    @rocco Too true , If Ward were to fight Bika he wont get away with going headfirst or trying to push bika about, Bika is too strong and hes not the obliging gentleman in the ring that Kessler is nor the wuss that Green is.

  • rocco says:

    bika will smash all of em

  • Davey says:

    Bika is made of iron, Green aint got a chance

  • ashishwarrior says:

    i aint enter taining the super 6 any more farce

  • Paulie says:
