Soliman-Douglas fight date postponed

A niggling knee injury has put a stop to Sam Soliman’s fight against Antoine Douglas, which was to be held in Pennsylvania on Saturday, March 5th.

Soliman’s Manager, David Stanley said: “Sam is bitterly disappointed, but we view it as a temporary setback only. Postponing the fight is the right thing to do, as it makes no sense to fight injured, particularly at the level Sam fights at.

“We feel for Antoine Douglas’s team, but that’s the ups and downs of boxing. This is only a delay, as Sam has his sights set on taking on Douglas, who we know is a tough, savvy and hungry boxer.”

“Sam’s doctors have said Sam needs immediate arthroscopic surgery on his knee and he will be back in full training within six seeks and ‘fight fit’ eight weeks after that.”

“Once our US fight commitment is completed, there are negotiations for a very exciting opportunity later in the year. The risk of fighting injured, against medical advice would also impact on this opportunity. ”

Sam Soliman said: “I was powering along, and was in what I considered the best form of my career, but I’m taking onboard the advice of medical experts and am going to get myself right again.

“I’m no shirker, but I would have been letting myself and my fans down if I went into a fight knowing I was injured.”

Those wonky 42 year old knees have failed Sam again.

Can't wait to hear some fool claim they won't believe he's injured until they see the scars

Give him a chance to 'break' the story first.

Probably found out there is WADA testing and has to flush the Oxifilirine out of his system.

Come in spinner

Sam could post a video of the operation and pictures of the scars and you'd still be claiming he was lying about the injury. Just like you did when he injured his knee against Taylor.

Everyone in the boxing world believed Soliman was genuinely injured against Taylor except for you and your trolling mates who thankfully aren't allowed to post here any more.

Got anything to support your claim? Anything at all? Or are you just trying to defame Sam Soliman yet again with your unfounded innuendo?

An athlete over age 40 having knee problems is suspicious in your world?

The fight was going to be in Pennsylvania, I would be surprised if they have strict drug testing in that state.

Knee problems at his age? This could turn out to be the end of the road for his boxing career.

Truth and logic don't fit his tainted agenda.

I was joking mate. A lot of people here don't like the fact I thought he feigned injury in the fight with Taylor and gave 3 different versions of what round it happened. So I was winding them up.
Bad luck for Sam.

You were trolling again

One step closer to getting banned like your troll mates

Racism fine with Like a Boss, joking bannable offence. Lighten up mate.

Trolling is bannable, and banning trolling it is what maintains the quality of this forum, and precisely why your troll mates were banned.

Trolling isn't accepted or tolerated here. Get it yet?

This is the currently the busiest and IMO the best Aussie forum on the net. Let's keep it that way

With Sam Soliman pulling out due to injury, Avtandil Khurtsidze (31-2-2, 20KOs) of Brooklyn is the replacement opponent for Antoine Douglas.

Surprisingly good replacement given the late notice.

Bad luck for Soliman, it would have been a good fight with Douglas, hopefully they can reschedule it when Soliman recovers.

True. He hasn't lost since N'Jikam beat him in 2010.

Too good of a replacement it turns out.

Stopped Douglas in the last I see. Knocked him down a couple of times in earlier rounds too.

Anyone give an update on how SAMs surgery went? If he has any immediate plans ?
