Some big fights coming up Billy Dib defends IBF featherweight title against undefeated Alberto Servidei (31-0-2) the Italian and former Euro champ in Sydney on November 19 Sam Soliman faces dangerous Peter Quillin (25-0) in an IBF box-off to face Daniel Geale.
Kid Choclate is a beast, him and Geale would be like a symphony of violence! Lets hope Sammy can come up with the goods, would also love to see the smooth technique and volume punching of Geale vs the mongrel and high pace of Soliman :bbb
Quillin was to be on the Hopkins v Dawson undercard - see article below - but he's not on the card according to Boxrec: http://boxrec.com/date_search.php?yyyy=2011&mm=10&dd=15 This content is protected Peter Quillin to fight on Hopkins-Dawson undercard on October 15th by Jason Kim - August 31st 2011. Unbeaten middleweight contender Peter Quillin (25-0, 19 KO’s) will be reportedly fighting on the undercard of the WBC light heavyweight fight between champion Bernard Hopkins and challenger Chad Dawson on October 15th at the Staples center in Los Angeles, California. Quillin, ranked #7 by the World Boxing Association, doesn’t have an opponent picked out yet but hopefully it’s a notable fighter. That’s what the 28-year-old Quillin needs right now to get him more notoriety. His trainer Freddie Roach has been talking about wanting to match Quillin against Sergio Martinez but the problem is Quillin doesn’t have enough of a name for Martinez to bother with him. Quillin’s management needs to put him in with higher class opponents. He’s faced Jessie Brinkley and Jason LeHoullier in his last two fights, easily beating both. However, there are much better fighters than these guys and it’s high time Quillin start facing them. He’s getting up there in age and it would be sad if he continues to face lower level guys each time while at the same time wanting a quality guy like Martinez to fight him. ...and the article goes on - see Boxing News for continuation.
If it ever happens 37 yr old Sam would be way out of his depth against Quillin . Career ending fight for Soliman. Dib should score a comfortable win over the Italian.
Quillin would be all wrong for Geale. Technically he is class and he can punch but Geale is a titleist mow and has to face top ranked guys.
Soliman will get a eliminator or a fight with geale,the guy has been ranked in the ibf middleweight div top 15 for the past 5-7 years easily an hasnt done **** with it
Sep 2011 Soliman: I will defeat Quillin By Ray Wheatley/World of Boxing Photo: Werner Kalin World middleweight contenders Sam “King” Soliman (39-11, 17KOs) and Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin (25-0, 19KOs) will clash in an IBF Box Off to find a mandatory challenger for the IBF 160 pound champion Daniel Geale in 2012. Golden Boy Promotions who manage IBF#10 Quillin and David Stanley who manages IBF#8 Soliman have agreed to take the fight and are in negotiation for that fight to happen. Also in the IBF Box Off is former IBF champion Roman Karmazin and Osumanu Adama who will clash on October 7th in Burbank, Illinois. Soliman said “I want to thank Quillin for taking the fight. There were a few other middleweights who pulled out of fights against me in the IBF Box Off including former champion Sebastian Sylvester.” Soliman continued, “I am in better shape now then when I boxed Winky Wright in the USA in 2005. I am sure Quillin will be a tough fight but I am confident I will be the winner and give him his first professional loss.”
Was that a recent article Jacks?? If it is McEwen, the brits are getting a lot of exposure these days. Frank must be sucking balls overtime! :smh
It looks like it is Soliman and Quillin then. The guys on the main forum have been discussing Quillan and McEwan for days.
