BoxRec says Daniel Dawson fights Anton Solopov 31/8/07.

This is a great match up between two good fighters! Not sure who to pick at this stage but if I had to make a choice I would probaly go with "The Rock". Any chance the winner might face Geale???

Thoughts?

Good matchup if it comes off.
I think this is what we need in this country competitive fights between our better fighters.
Its a 50/50 fight in my opinion and should be very close.

Dawson is defending the PABA Junior Middleweight title. Does Solopov qualify as Australian? Boxrec has him as a Russian citizen and he seems to have fought in Europe more than here.

Boxrec has Kostya Tszyu as a Russian. Citizenship isn't a factor as far as boxrec is concerned.

I'd take Dawson, I think the rock is under rated, I know he has faced a fairly poor level of competition, which is common if you want to fight a lot in WA, but I think he has some very good talents. I'd take Dawson on points. I think it's ben k who will disagree as he thinks Dawson is fairly ordinary. Sorry if I'm wrong Ben, I know it's one of the west australians on the forum that doesn't rate Dawson.

Dawson v Geale was scheduled earlier in the year, but was called off I can't remember why... Or I never knew why????

I think its a 50/50 fight, Dawson has looked good in some of his fights but Solopov is a decent boxer and may be able to beat him if he can stay on the outside. Dawson definently has the power to stop Anton so i think its a really interesting fight.
I would like to see the winner face Geale so we really know who is the best around this weight.
There is also Shannon Taylor around there weight so there are a few decent matchups to be made.

The show had moved house again. It's now at the Croatian Club Punchbowl

Does anybody know what happened the first time Solopov fought Dondon Sultan? Losing to someone of Sultan's calibre on a first round KO does not sound too good. Does Anton suffer from Chinnus Mundinus?

no dultan can punch n just got caught wif a big punch thats all

Sultan is a big puncher and came at Solopov swinging wild early in the fight. Solpov's team practiced for it but unfortunately for Anton, he moved straight back and got caught by a wild right hand.

Solopov is a heavy handed kind of puncher. Not one punch type power like Kostya but thumping power. He's very strong physically and I think he's too much for Dawson.

I think Dawson will win! Just hope he's not rusty from his long lay off

On 1st September Solopov's old gym mate Victor Oganov dismembers, er.. fights Zuniga for the IBO Supermiddleweight title. Can we claim him too?

Have you got a problem with fighters born in other countries moving to Australia and making it their home?

No.... I just don't think we should claim them as "ours"unless they renounce their citizenship of their previous country. The great Rusian swimmer Alexander Popov spent most of his training time in Australia for years but always swam for Russia.

I have seen daniel in sparring an have also sparred him in him eading up to this fight (as a southpaw i sparr him quite abit lately) he is looking very sharp an is extremely fit ive tried to keep up with him in training an he jst keeps going i think it will be a tough fight for daniel but i beleive he is also happy for the oppertunity to fight a name fighter

the geale team didnt want geale to fight dawson... i think this is a problem with aussie boxing atm the fighters dont fight the top fighters on their divisions as they want to make sure they keep the 0

Are you a pro boxer mate?

If so I reckon I can narrow it down to Jeremy Allan or at a stretch maybe even Steven Wills...

Geale has a fight date for 12 October with no opponent named. With a six week break from tonight the winner of this fight may be his opponent.

Makes sense.

I'll cross my fingers but I'm not holding my breathe...

Would be a good fight though!

I heard that Dawson pulled out of the fight with Geale, Im not sure if it was right as he fought in a kickboxing fight a few weeks after he was scheduled to fight Geale.

Thats fairly definitive!

I was expecting a good hard fight. What are the chances of getting it up on youtube?

Bring on Dawson Geale!!!

Did anyone here see the fight? Sounds like an anticlimax after all the anticipation.

Fox decided we would rather see David Tua serve up the Mexican Heavyweight Champion from the other week (nice double left hook, Dave..but).

It was a good
double left hook, Tua still has the pop to beat anyone at heavy if he lands.

True, but Montana did not help his own cause by standing in front of him. I would like to see Tua fight Cameron next to see just who is the best heavy in New Zealand.

mason wins by k.o. but was getting beat so i was told mark pawsey got beat tko not sure what round daniel pawsey win ko no sure wat round king won con won ko dean byrne did not fight peter Mitrevski snr punched on with barry raff the mc mark warren walked out half way cause he didnt get payed anton was ko`ed before he hit the ground dawson looked sharp for the 80 sec it went . so all n all the show was rubbish
