He wanted the knockout, he was overkeen in front of an American audience that was obvious.
I also think he under-rated Bika who is a strong, nasty fighter.
Bika caught him with that headbutt in the 4th round opening a big cut and prior to that Bika was missing punches by a country mile.
I counted 5 obvious headbutts from Bika and then to cap it off he punches Calzaghe in the bollocks.
It was a cracking fight and it must be one of Joe's hardest bouts for time but he wasnt convincing at all.
He was well on top before that cut and the it allowed Bika back into it
There wasnt much doubt at the end that Calzaghe had outboxed him but I expected a better performance.
No one will want to fight that Bika he is a handful I dont know his age but when Calzaghe retires and those belts become vacant, look out for the Cameroonian to take over as champion.
I heard Kessler won the other title fight in the division so he now has the WBA and WBC belts, I reckon the next 2 fights for Joe could be Jermain Taylor and Kessler.
