Bika vs. Dirrell

[vovazilvova]

Here is round 11 from there first fight, it looks to me like the punch that was counted as a low blow looks like a clear punch to the body.

Bika was hitting Dirrell low all round prior to that punch. Bika should have at least had a point deduction for hitting Dirrell while Dirrell was on down on his hands and knees after Bika pushed Dirrell down to the canvas. That occurred at 1:16 of the video.

The camera angle is bad to tell how low the punch was for which the referee ruled it a low blow and deducted a point from Bika. The video at 1:53 clearly shows the ref was in position to see if it was low or not and he didn't hesitate to call it low immediately.

At 3:03 of the video Bika lands a right that is below the belt. That was just a few seconds after Bika headbutted Dirrell and cut Dirrell over the left eye. With the tactics Bika used many referees would have DQ'd him.

Bika is and has always been a criminally dirty fighter. I pray Dirrell knocks him out cold so the judges can't steal the fight again.

@Dennis....Bika can pretty much be nailed-on to be all ugly elbows, forehead and borderline shots again. So Dirrell had better have a plan to negate this.

Never worked out whether Sakio is a cynical, dirty operator who does not get penalised nearly often enough or just a clumsy, long-limbed pressure fighter. The fact that he's been fighting like this going all the way back to having a crack at Calzaghe suggests that it is basically his style and he just can't fight any other way. Boxing News have tipped him to rough-up his way to a win over Dirrell again...which I think is a good call.

If Dirrell hadn't of ran in the twelve round, we wouldn't be having this rematch.
I hope Bika uses elbows and head butts the Dog Dirrell again, can't wait!

I just had a look at my cards from the first fight,i had Bika winning by a few rounds but for some reason i thought i had Dirrell winning it,i thought i remembered the fight quite well too

[eastezrider]

Weigh in was pretty "heated"... Wouldn't be surprised at another SD.

[Brut]

I think Dirrell will take this the second time around, the first fight was close and Bika is as dirty as Maidana so we will more than likely see something controversial.

[crusader]

Dirrell clearly won the rematch and the 114-113 card was too close. It seems like he knew he had to be more aggressive this time.

Its official the 2nd most talented Dirrell brother was the first one to win a title. This woulda been a huge score if you had made a prop bet on it on Anthony back before the Super Six tournament when Andre was one of the biggest prospects & Anthony was getting chemo & sh!t.
