Sakio Bika - a boxer?

hamed · 11-15-2008, 11:21 AM

His rating in TBCB is as a boxer. Any thoughts on if he should be a slugger or changed to either?

Watching him win the IBO belt this week & I didn't see him strictly as a boxer.

I actually changed his rating a couple of days ago to either, as i have never considered him strictly a boxer.

OK great, that's what I did too. I was thinking he's a slugger or either.

Thanks!

Sakio Bika is in no way a "boxer". He's a full on slugger.

Yeah hes a slugger, can i just get an opinion on his stamina and endurance in the 2.5 database, whats it like? in the 2.0 game he lasts for all of 2-3 rounds and he's exhausted even against the weakest of opponents. With such a chiseled physique i was wondering if this was true of him or? a re-rating would help.

Sakio Bika is, essentially, Librado Andrade. Just open up the Andrade file and compare it to Bika. Bika comes full forward for 12 rounds. There are big differences between him and Andrade, though. He's not in the class of Andrade.

1: Chin, while solid, is not like Andrade's cyborg titanium jaw. He'd have a Chin vs KD as 2 and Chin vs KO as 0(or 1? Whatever is highest). Andrade should have a 0 or, more likely, 1 Chin vs KD with the same Chin vs KO.

2: Andrade is more durable all around. Andrade is basically tireless. Bika shows signs of fatigue (Note: Not that he stops coming... his skills just clearly decline) around the 7th-9th of a hard fight where it seems Andrade only gets better.

3: Bika is a much more wild fighter than Librado Andrade. He's very much like Ricardo Mayorga. He throws the same winging shots. So, be sure to also tell this difference in class with their accuracy ratings. Bika also head hunts.

4: Bika is a below average puncher. Andrade should be a good 3 points higher. Andrade 8, Bika 5 - I would say.
