This miss-match is down at Fairy Meadow NSW (near Wollongong) and Sharp was beaten up in three of his last four fights.
Not a good look, and Sakio is penciled in also for 28th October.
Notice that Robert Medley is fighting for the super-middleweight national title on 24th June, and maybe a consideration to fight Sakio on 28th October.
On a heavier note, the one and only John Hopoate, no spring-chicken at age 42, is nominated to fight debutante, Nathan Bell in Ulladulla, NSW on 24th November. Hoppa's last ring appearances were pretty dreadful, so why get back in the ring?

A joke fight but to be fair to Sakio he has been fighting top calibre fighters and is coming off a 2 year lay off.

Bika hasn't fought in more than two years and hasn't won a fight in four so it's not as terrible as it looks on paper; he should win with ease but I think he's done at the highest level. The joke WBC belt on offer will probably get him ranked so that should set him up for a cash out fight down the line...

So it wasn't the best match up but at least Sakio got another 7 rounds under his belt after not fighting for a fair while. Obviously his best days are behind him, but if he wants to continue fighting, he has to get the rounds in before stepping up his opposition.

Just seen the weights, obviously Sharp never had intention of making the SMW limit...

How much over super middle was he?

He came in around 177, I think, couldn't exactly shift that with a last minute trip to the steam room...

Over light heavy. Not real professional when there is a title is on the line regardless of what title it is. If the contract was at super middle he should have been a bit closer than that.
