Mundine Spanked Soliman

Post by Autobarn »

Outclassed and stopped him in 9, of their rematch today, dropping his numerous times & picking up the 'regular' WBA crown.

How about Calzaghe-Mundine, rather than Calzaghe-Berrio.

Both are dubious unifications, but Mundine is a big name. Kind of like the Oz version of Eubank. The man everyone loves to hate & fights mostly domestic opponents in big events. Doesn't have Eubank's chin, but is just as fast as prime Eubank, has a better repertoire of shots.

Definite career peak - as he outclassed Danny Green last year as well.

Shit the bed, thats quite a result. Dunno much about Mundine, but Soliman is a tough guy, never been stopped.

Impressive.

Good result for Mundine. Hope to see the fight soon since Soliman is not just somebody you normally can just dominate like i hear Mundine did.

BTW he cannot unify against Calzaghe since Kessler is superduperchamp


P.S. Could someone upload it?

FFS.

Can't we boxing fans go down to Caracas, stage an uprising overthrow the WBA? These crooks have absolutely ruined boxing with their super-champ rule.

Cant one of the WBAs 'superchumps' do a Rocchigiani and sue the b#stards and completely bankrupt them like what nearly happened with the WBC?

How about Calzaghe vs. Stacy Goodson. After all Goodson is an American.

He gave "pound for pound #3" , "certain hall of famer" Wright a hard enough time & in truth has fought in every division from light middle to cruiser.

But still, if Calzaghe had beaten Soliman, we'd be chalking him up as an acceptable foe.

What are you saying? Eastman is a near legend. If only he'd tried, he would've beaten ABRAHAM, MIRANDA & JOPPY.

Seriously though SS has taken a lot of late notice fights and acquitted himself well many times on hostile turf.

Mundine has dominated Green and Soliman in his last 2 major fights. No one has battered Sam Soliman like that.

I would be very happy if Mundine were the opponent instead of Manfredo. Anything but Calzaghe-Berrio.

I'm not so certaint about Winky's great standing either. He's got a great jab and a good defence, but aside from that, not a great deal.

I was being slightly ironic. Eric Raskin over at Maxboxing said Wright "was easily a top 3 p4p" and a "sure Hall of Famer" which made me laugh a bit and I can't resist quoting.

Anyway, Mundine just pissed all over someone that Mr Legend struggled with. Soliman's a tremendously difficult opponent to fight and Mundine has proven he's ready for much bigger things.

hell of a result for mundine...but he has the shadow of being sparked by ottke hanging over him.

i think it would be a great fight for froch, an absolute tear up, and im sure hennessy could make this fight, in the uk too.

Could Mick come up with the money though? Mundine has to be making a few quid down in Australia. I agree though, good fight.

This is a fantastic result for Mundine - I'm wondering if the higher weight was too much for Soliman, because this result looks impressive next to the Winky fight

Mundine is Aussie's highest paid domestic sportsman. He isn't going to take less money on a Hennessey small hall show.

I don't think Mundine gives a shit about the UK. Makes loads at home, just as Eubank did over here.

After Warren's tawdry offer (what was it, a bad of jelly tots?) Mundine doesn't need to be over here.

So hwo goods Mundine? I think he may have the style to take Calazage personally, styles make fights though and Kessler may be just all wrong for him in a rematch.

Calzageh could make tons of money by fighting Mundine in Australia though.
