Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Sakio Bika actually has the makings of a very entertaining fight.
Both men have no real boxing skills, and would basically just stand flat-footed in front of each other exchanging blows until one of them was dead or close to it.
There would be blood, and there would be swelling, with Chavez and Bika you can always count on that.
Bika is coming off a loss to Light Heavyweight lineal champion Adonis Stevenson back on April 4, 2015, but that doesn’t mean we should expect him to campaign at that weight, with his smaller yet bulky stature Bika would have no trouble getting back down to Super Middleweight size where he’d have a better chance against lighter fighters.
The loss to Stevenson was Bika’s second in a row, previously dropping a unanimous decision to Anthony Dirrell on August 16, 2014.
Similar to a potential Smith fight, Chavez vs. Bika would match up two guys who are desperate for a win and who could have their careers sunk by a loss.
For Chavez, a win over Bika, who is an ex-Super Middleweight titleholder and recent challenger to a Light Heavyweight title, not only justifies a title shot at 168, but at 175 against Stevenson as well.
