Re: SAM SOLIMAN HANG UP THE GLOVES
Soliman has a big call to make now and the extent of his knee injury might be a factor.
Re: SAM SOLIMAN HANG UP THE GLOVES
Yeah I would not have believed he couldnt make the weight. It all seems wrong to me. If his knee is OK I wouldn't mind him making one last payday in Australia.I dont think he has ever made the big dollars maybe Mundine Soiliman at Middleweight? I think he could safely take that fight without being hurt.
No bullshit titles, just for the money.
oh by the way Sam, I think Ron Casey from TV ringside might well have referred to you as 'A real one', his highest praise.

Some of our boxing tent experts may have more info.

Re: SAM SOLIMAN HANG UP THE GLOVES
Have to wonder if Sam hurt his knee in preparing for the fight and then just hoped it would go the distance? It might explain why he struggled to make weight and he isn't the sort of guy that would use it as an excuse.
Re: SAM SOLIMAN HANG UP THE GLOVES
Maybe Soliman can fight the winner of Geale Vs Fletcher?.

Re: SAM SOLIMAN HANG UP THE GLOVES
A decent win against a creditable opponent should put him back in line for an eliminator or reasonable pay day. He still has much to offer if his knee has come good. Sam was in career best form, regardless of age. Hopefully he can regain it.

Hang in there. I'm sure as soon as Sam has something signed he'll make an announcementKelandbeave wrote:

Re: SAM SOLIMAN HANG UP THE GLOVES
When Soliman shocked the hardcore fans to duck the king Golovkin to fight a completely washed up Jermain Taylor (which then spectacularly backfired) many fans questioned why ? His team/fans then loudly defended their man by stating that the Taylor fight was fight 1 in a 3 fight plan( choc Mundine's old trick) which would bring him millions and a huge 3rd fight.
My question is this. If Soliman had have beaten the washed up Jermain Taylor then who would he have actually gone on to fight in fight 2 and then fight 3 of his 3 fight plan ?

Re: SAM SOLIMAN HANG UP THE GLOVES
Hassan N'Dam 31-1 and David Lemieux 33-2 will contest the IBF middleweight title, vacated by Jermain Taylor, on June 20th in Canada.amwsnw wrote:A decent win against a creditable opponent should put him back in line for an eliminator or reasonable pay day.

The IBF still have Sam Soliman handily placed at #5, and as there will not be a new champion until June and their number 2 ranking is vacant, the IBF only rank 3 fighters higher than Soliman.

No boxer has worked harder than Sam.
Sure there's better...but none more dedicated.
He is a real life 'rocky'.
An example of what can be done through determination
And having to fight off the negativity of
losses to Mundine
This OP that is obviously an ignorant dickwad

What a complete insult to every other fighter. So you are saying Sam works harder than Geale
