dont know much about kean but obviously he can punch.

be good if fox sports put this on.

kean beat a developing tony yoka in the london olynpics but he looks crude and wild to me, though strong at a C+ or so level. the grizzlys a fitting nickname.

keans really fought no one so this is clearly a step up and a test. his previous best was probably nascimento, whod already been stopped in 3 by sol.that or 8-5-4 avery gibson.

Lenroy Thomas won the title in May. Must have already vacated. That title sure has lost some gloss.

IMO, All titles have lost their gloss. They're meaningless these days

here is what i posted on main forum.

Le 10 Février Simon Kean se frotte à Solomon Haumono dans un duel éliminatoire pour le titre du Commonwealth!
Voilà ce qu’ils ont dit, Solomon Haumono: “I look forward to fighting younger and exciting Simon Kean. Its a prestigious belt I would love to hold. To the Canadian people thank you for welcoming me to your lovely country and Febuary 10 is when we both are going to do our best to be the winner! This will be quite a battle! God bless
Le coach de Haumono: “This is an exciting time for Australian Boxing and Solomon Haumono (Solo). Commonwealth Title is regarded as the stepping stone to world honours. Sol father was Joe Frazier’s sparring partner and Solomon has held the Australian and regional titles but the commonwealth title has alluded him. We look forward to the challenge. We would also like to thank the promoters and the Canadian people for having us.”
Simon Kean: “Je me fous qu'il vienne d'une famille de boxeurs et qu'il ait déjà affronté des champions du monde, a dit Kean. La seule chose qui m'intéresse actuellement, c'est de lui sacrer une bonne volée. Quand il verra la foule hostile de la Mauricie et un grizzly affamé devant lui, j'espère qu'il aura autant de courage que lors de la signature du contrat.” Voilà le lien pour vos sièges:

Hard to disagree.

The Commonwealth title used to be a respected and sought after belt that was a major step towards a world title fight. Not any more.

Didn't know Solo was still fighting. Good luck to him.

[buster007]

hopefully solo gets into an argument with the cab driver on the way to the arena to fire him up, lol.

He fought Adamec about 6 months ago.

Oh well at least he won a round. Stepping stone fighter at his age his opponent has a good record and KO percentage but hasn't fought anyone good looking at boxrec. Hopefully Solo can spoil his record and is getting decent coin going to his backyard.
