Hats off to sammy for wanting this fight, but yeh he will get his arse handed too him once COtto gets used to his volume punching, orangutan like style.
I like this one for Sam, Miguel aint special these days. He was made to look good by Martinez who was caught early and was hurt for the rest of the fight. I doubt it would happen but his awkward style would make things very difficult. He could shock a few people again I reckon.
You sound pretty confident where did you hear this? I saw on twitter there was a rumor cottos camp had contacted solimans camp pre fight yesterday to put on unfication bout if successful against Sergio
Brock Ellis said it on twitter. I am doubtful more money for Cotto-Canelo if Canelo beats Lara. Still hope i's true.
Soliman shocked Sturm twice. Both times in Germany and is now the IBF champion, and it has cut some people up bad hasn't it :hey
No not at all,simple fact is he won and no one gives a ****,im living in Sydney now and he featured on fox sports news for 60seconds and got a small write up in the paper the day after the fight and That is all! Geale who is more unknown then Soliman in Australia, did the same thing and even he got a bigger reaction after his german victories...Good on the bloke,as Iv stated many times,I know the bloke personally,from way back in the kick boxing days.He has been ranked in the ibf middleweight top 15 for a near decade literally,so A) Bout time he got a long overdue shot B) Good on him for winning:good As for him fighting Cotto? This will never happen ,why u say? 1.He don't have the cash or pull to bring cotto to Australia 2.Doesnt have anywhere near a big enough name for a the fight to be staged in the U.S 3.Networks will not put him on with that fighting style 4.Only thing he has that MIGHT get him something is the actual title,but as I said,1,2 and 3 are major factors especially 3 Cotto will more then likey fight Rubio,the winner of GGG Geale or Trout/Alvarez. Soliman will fight the loser of GGG Geale or Mundine,i highly doubt he will land a big name fighter in the U.S
Very interesting clash of styles, and never in a million years would I have guessed - fairly recently, at that - we could possibly see a middleweight unification between this pair, who I'd never have imagined squaring off in any weight class, period. I am having a hard time sorting out how Sam deals with Miguel's relentless textbook down-up pressure, or how Miguel deals with Sam's volume and sheer awkwardness. Neither has really ever met anyone quite like the other. There is little on which to formulate a clear image how their stylistic interaction looks.
