Manfredo/Bika Pick

I can't believe they found a make believe title to award to the winner here...

Anyways, we have another Contender esque showdown with two decent fighters. I  feel Bika is the better fighter - good chin and more pop than Peter. However, he is sloppy and a bit amateurish  with  his  style. Manfredo doesn't have the goods to stop Bika. I'm not sure he could survive a slugfest either. He could outbox him and win via points - almost a lock in his hometown unless it is very lopsided.

In a pick'em type fight, I don't see how you can go against Bika. If this fight were at a neutral site the line would be Bika -250 or more. If this fight wasn't in RI I would be making a very large play on Bika. For now it will be small....

Bika (-115) 230/200

No question

Bika is the play....would be surprised if he lost this one

NOT A CHANCE Manfredo can hurt him

only worry is a bad hometown decision...but i think Bika will make this clear cut

now bika the -150 favorite ..  i think he opened as the dog, yes?

I believe so.. I thought I saw this at -150ish for Manfredo when it opened.

+200 tonight...

Man the entire board was on Bika, great stuff.  Wish I would have had internet hooked up at my new house Thursday and I probably would have been on the same.  Good job WTL.
