Sam Soliman won the Australian Cruiserweight title in his first fight.

Think you will find it was his second or third. Defo not debut, toyed with Kinsella TBH and waited til the 12th to stop him so he could prove to himself that he could do 12. Think he weighed in in tracksuit, who knows what he had in his pockets at the time!

Sam soliman is a legend in my eyes ducked no one and beat some big names. Rumoured to be fighting Garth from the hood wood.

One will win by a head clash.

whats ben's plans?

any ideas?

He simply does not fight enough to guage improvement, potential, development. Shame really.

Mate he can fight with Kirby or maybe homono but this will be all. Hopefully he don't think he can fight Alex or meehan. he will getKO within two rounds. I think Ben is better of in kickboxing than boxing

Ben has done extrimely well as a boxer in the few fights hes had, why would you say hes better at the kick boxing. Love this icon..

he would be a chance against most in oz.

OK, second fight. One 4 round win against Heath Stenton before that. Still a good effort.

Big Ben where the bloddy hell are you havent heard from you for soooo long.

i think be would beat browne and colin wilson.

ben edwards is australia's answer to ian millarvie

Has Ben gone back to kick boxing?

a couple of handy wins too. lost in a semi final though.

..with another kickbox fight next month. Looks like boxing is on his backburner for now.

its crazy when you consider Alex leapai could be one fight away from a realistic shout at challenging one of the klits !!!!!

boxing is best !!!!!

It was announced last night that Edwards had challenged the winner of the Lucas Brown / Colin Wilson fight for the Australian title.

Oh boy bring it on.

I would love to see Edwards-Browne. It would make up for Kirby-Browne falling through.

It would be a better fight that one with the Rhino these two guys wont be in there to smother the other just to sit the other on there ass.

Browne-Edwars. That could be brutal. Interesting to see how Brownes composure holds up vs Edwards. That man comes out a swinging. Be a very interesting war..how long will it last?

Browne- Edwards then it should be.... greatest respect to Col.... time to move on

Lucas said on Friday night that Ben beat him in a kick boxing match because of Ben's superior kicking. Lucas is more of a puncher so he will probably do better in
a regular fight.

This bout will be an interesting and true testimony to the "pain game"...test both men and their ability to take and return fire. Regardless of who wins - be a cracking, aggressive bout.

IMO, arguably the 2 biggest punching heavyweights in the region coming through the ranks.

I would really like Ben to have a couple of quick bouts and run the record up and knock all the boxing rust off.

Browne looked really good the other night, and boxing skills were evident.

its not rust, its his fitness he needs to work on. he got pummelled badly in his recent kickboxing fight cause he was too gassed to even hold his hands up. so he was just a walking punching bag for his opponent.
