There is talk Sam Soliman might meet Daniel Geale later on this year.

Geale has kept his hand in. Most recently sparring Mark Lucas.

I think a geale v soliman fight would sell reasonably well.
Any idea if the card is going to be televised ?

While there have been rumours in regards Geale/Soliman, there was also talk that this Molina bout could well be Soliman's swansong and a chance to pay tribute to his career in the ring. Geale/Soliman does make a lot of sense and i believe would be very well recieved.... hopefully they can make it happen....

After 20 years in the ring this could be Sam's last.

Hope it ends well for Soliman. He has had a long, successful career but the sport has taken its usual toll and it's time for Sam to move on.
He should win this fight and I hope the Geale fight doesn't happen.
At this point Geale probably shouldn't be in the ring period.
Soliman, Geale, Mundine, Green, Bika........................good group of Australia based boxers, all five had solid, respectable careers, all five won world title belts and now it's time for all of them to stop taking punches to the head.
