Have their 30 and 7-day weights been published ? I don't see anything in google.

Stevenson doesn't look bigger:

stevenson isn't bigger and stevenson is that much more skilled than bika, either.
i see it as a closer fight than everyone is predicting.

Styles make fights; Bika is slow & hittable & isn't absorbing shots as well as he used to after a long hard career. He'll get ground down & beaten up. He's never had a meaningful win at the weight.

Also, he isn't a one-punch guy at all. If he's still got the toughness & resilience he once had, he'll last eight or nine. Otherwise, he'll go earlier.

Forgot how funny the muppets were. . Lol

Of course logic favors a Stevenson, probably inside the distance.
But, I'm with the fellow few who are picking Bika in a big upset. I'm going with Bika surviving a few rocky moments during the early rounds, but hanging tough until the latter rounds when coming from behind on the cards, he hurts a fading Stevenson & stops him in about the tenth round.
Honestly, I've felt that this outcome was a real possibility since the bout was announced several weeks back.
Which, of course, means zip & if Stevenson starts fast & catches Bika early with power shots before he's able to "get into" the fight, it could be over inside two or three rounds. But, I'm going to stick with my first gut reaction.

Bika was HAND PICKED by Haymon. Do any of you dopes think Haymon wouldve CHOSEN Bika to face Adonis if he thought there was any real threat of him actually winning? Get your head out of your ass. You are judging Bika off how he looked a division below against lesser punchers. No comparison. Not to mention he has slowed down. This isnt the Bika of years ago. No one knows that more than Haymon. He's a shrewd prick.

Bika is closer to camera in this photo. They are the same height. When they are in the ring and rehydrated Stevenson will look noticeably bulkier, not to mention the 7 inch reach advantage.
