November 14th 2008 03:57
The winner of the third season of "The Contender," IBF #4, Sakio "The Scorpion" Bika (27-3-2, 17 KOs)captured the IBO super middleweight title with a third round stoppage of "The Pride of Providence" Peter Manfredo Jr. (31-6, 16 KOs). Time of the stoppage by referee Ricky Gonzalez was 1:50 in Manfredo's backyard at the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, RI. The shocked crowd voiced their disapproval of the outcome as Bika outlanded Manfredo Jr. and beat him to the punch with punishing hooks that had the hometown favorite, Manfredo Jr. on his heels throughout. Manfredo Jr.seemed timid from the start as Bika instantly found his range and landed without much trouble. Manfredo Jr. was credited with a knockdown in round two which was a punch that landed, however Manfredo fell to the canvas with Bika as it appeared to be more of a push. Bika complained as he took out his frustrations in round three landing a barrage of hooks on Manfredo Jr. that he was unable to recover from.
