soloman haumono

[Brute]

Am I on the right planet? Didn't Solo beat Cliff by a wide margin in an eight rounder in August, just 4 months ago? Have I missed something?

Are you saying that fighting a D level oppenant every 4 months is acceptable when your ranked outside the top 100 and your a prospect.

Alex Leapai has fought what 5 times in the last 2 and half months, all have been good tests, and good fights to watch i might add.

So Cliff Couser goes from a "great fighter" to a "D Level opponent" now that I remind you that Solo has already beaten him?

I saw Leapai beat Cronje. Let Leapai fight Haumono but Cronje is a level below.

couser is a great fighter compared to solo's other opponents
but overall he is d level at best

i would like to see him fight either cronje or leapai
both have good chins and could give him a test, and both would be a step up from hes usual level of opponent

i don't like watching heavyweights i thought it died out a years ago, after watching leapai and cronje slug it out on foxsports i'v never seen a fight like that in years only worldclass fighters and leapai i feel has a great chin, great power and hand speed when generated and the combinations he puts on, not many heavyweights can do that.i had in mine if the fight went to 12rnds leapai would of ko/tko cronje, fitness played a part which if leapai really improves he would be devastating in his weight.
Papers says he's calling out hoppa,mirovic,demori,briggs & carl webb in hs sights etc this shows this kid ducks no one, Our heavyweights look really good in this generation i'm 39 yrs & i felt 21 after feeling that vibe watching leapai & cronje good on you boys.

I'm not really sure what your saying, so you saying cliff couser is a great fighter.

Just to remind people i'm a Solo fan, i just think leapai is testing himself far more than solo is.

Solo has graduated from the Anthony Mundine school and he needs to re educate himself.

I heard Solo has'nt been in the gym since the Couser fight and is over boxing.
Does anyone have any info?

[buster007]

it wouldn't surprise me one bit. i don't think that he actually likes boxing too much its just that he is physically capable of beating up people that gets him to enter the ring.
he's too nice a guy to be in the sport maybe.

[davidk59]

and people who can't defend themselves at that

[davidk59]

real nice

[buster007]

?

[davidk59]

he's continually beating up people who have no chance to win .so thats fair and being a nice guy, sounds like a bully to me he should pick on someone his own size and fight anyone in the top eight on box rec at the moment on australian ratings .whoever the weakest one is would still beat him over eight rounds or more

[Hounddawg]

What!

[davidk59]

obviously soloman is in the top eight so he can't fight himself and john hopoate is there also and he doesn't want to fight his friend so well put leapai and cronje in to make up the difference lets see if he fights any one of them because they would love to fight him and the australian public would like to see it also

[melbourne boy]

hate to say but after looking at Haumono's rec he'll KO or TKO Leapai, Hoppa, Cronje or our top heavies with in 1st to 3rd rnd easy with out a doubt but i guess i don't know how good haumono's opponents are,he's undefeated so it should be a easy walk for haumono.

like i said i'm back to watching h/w now & half of them i don't know & their rec.

[buster007]

bully? and pick on someone his own size?
if his opponents are stupid enough to get in the ring then tough titties.

he took a step up last fight so hopefully he will continue to do so.

[Liver Crusher]

Who cares about heavy weights and ex footy players at that!!!

sick of seeing haumono,hoppa...

[davidk59]

firstly melbourneboy to find out the opponents quality record before they fought soloman just look at the red squares they stand for how many losses his opponents have had in their last 6 fights secondly buster007 if he wants to fight stiffs to pad his record you don't have to feel sorry for them but if you really are a class act you would not fight them .thirdly livercrusher i like to see high profile people in boxing to develop the sport more but im guessing the reason you are sick of some of them is because they don't do the hard yards with no recognition that the others do because they'll never fight them to give them a chance

I am not really sure what your saying, so you saying cliff couser is a great fighter.

No, mate! Everybody else was saying how great Couser was and how Haumono should fight him. I pointed out that Haumono had beaten Couser and suddenly everybody got Alzheimers.

[Hounddawg]

I'm not speaking for anyone other than myself, but do you think you may have mistook people being positive in regards to Solo fighting Cliff, and you may have thought people were saying Cliff was a good fighter. I for one would never even allow the words to role of my tounge that cliff Couser was a great fighter.
I mean a guy that had lost 8 to 9 times in his last 10 appearances, and i quote" no i haven't seen any tapes of Solo, do i get to see a tape of a guy i fight in street fight, No, so why is this any different". Not 100% accurate of that qoute but the premise has the same meaning.

Here is my problem with Solo, he is going to allow himself to fail, he wont push himself, fear controlls him and for that he will never know how good he is/was. For now i'm ecstatic that Leapai is doing something that Solo wont, and that is dismiss any niggling doubt that he is the best in Australia, and the world is next.

Solo fan, just tired of defending him.

[davidk59]

me personally i have never said cliff couser is good you can check every quote i've done . i think if you want to truly test yourself why would you pay to bring someone from overseas so you could avoid the real tests right here in front of him . i wish the boxing commission forced him to fight meehan
demori
briggs
wilson
mirovic
leapai
kirby
cronje

Who do you want him to fight? Should he go overseas? Overseas heavyweights are good at ducking boxers too. Kali Meehan is officially the WBA number one contender, but Valuev is fighting grandfather Holyfield. Haumono has a 15-0 record with 14 KOs, which does not make him attractive to American or European fighters trying to build records.

[davidk59]

i could pick guys overseas that would fight soloman but i think your missing the point . the point is if he can't beat the guys in australia how is he going to have the experience to beat say someone like monty barrett he would fight soloman he fought tye fields who had something like 40 kos in 41 fights but barrett got on him straight away but he couldn't do the same with david haye because david haye has got more real experience
of hitting and not getting hit and monty barrett did throw some big punches that soloman wouldn't have avoided like haye did because he hasn't got the experience even though a lot of people think he has i don't want him to get a title shot against a klitchko because it would be embarrassing but he'll get a lot of money thats clearly why he's in the game. P.S he could beat barrett he just has to wait for a couple more losses.

I'm startled, of course i want him to go overseas, every good fighter has to.
Theres alot more fighters like him coming through over there, if he doesn't clean up Australia, thats where he should be.
You cant be happy with how this year has gone for him.

[buster007]

haumono has virtually made little progression since he returned to the ring a couple of years ago. except for his last fight of course.

he will either keep stepping up like this or just retire as he will have no choice. i will be amazed if his next opponent is not of a reasonable quality because otherwise he will just be wasting his time. further to that i think that it is not a good look to not have a scheduled fight yet as he has not fought since august. i know fighters need time between fights but he is one fighter who needs to be more active or it will only make it harder for him on fightnights and he didn't exactly get bashed around in his last fight either.

[Brute]

lets see sol fight cronje.your thoughts

In Cronje's last fight in South Africa he was KOed in 7 by Machimana. Since coming her he has won a split decision over Colin Wilson and KOed usual suspects Oscar Talemaira and Brian Fitzgerald before losing to Alex Leapai. If he fights Solomon Haumona he will lose.

[cace]

i think he would lose to solo as well
but he could give him a few decent rounds and thats what solo needs
