I dont want to see SAM get smashed again.....Sam should fight Hamden on the undercard with Bika VS Mundine main event....now that would be good....however Mundine is way 2 cheep to lash out for that.
just think of the undercard lads if its anything like main events coverage of the Hamdan fight . Mundine v Soliman 1 Mundine v Soliman 2 and then the Main event Mundine v Soliman 3 I can hear Barry Michael panting already ...........
I swear bonds need to sponsor B.Michael.He must go through atleast 5pairs of undies each mundine fight. I cant wait to hear the ahhhhh,ohhhhhhh yyeeeeaaahhhhs everytime mundine throws a jab.
I heard it was supposed to be 3 months after the last fight. Undercard will be same but Sol is looking to fight Bob Mirovic in Brisbane in bout 6 weeks then fight again on this undercard in Melbourne.
Rumour is Bute's promoter was in talks with Soliman too, for May. Hope that doesn't happen though. I think Soliman has been finished for a while. I also think he was never that good to start off with. Recently, Bika owned him on the Contender. Top 5 fighters shouldn't fight Soliman anymore, not even as an optional.
Very close. Bika didnt own him on the contender. A few more rounds and soliman would have had it. But this next fight with mundine will be the same out come as the first fight. Stupid and pointless fight for both fighters.
Soliman does appear finished somewhat (certainly at 168, although he was never something there to begin with), but he was somewhat decent there for a while. the Contender show was all wrong for Soliman. Soliman is best at fighting 12 rounders and he'll generally run an opponent down towards the end and rack up points then when he tires his opponent out through his high work rate (like he did in the Wright fight). This wasn't allowed to happen in The Contender due to the fights not going 12 rounds, ect. Anyway, I doubt he'd fight Bute. The Mundine fight makes more sense financially and he gets to fight in his home town this way instead of going to Canada.
I agree. But I cannot condone Choc fighting the guy a third time...not really a trilogy making opponent for Choc, is he? Hardly has the same ring as Vazquez v. Marquez....right? Is this what Choc wants to be remembered for...his trilogy against Soliman?:-(
I agree. Only time trilogy's are needed is if both fighters are one win apiece. I don't think any of Mundine's fans wants to see another fight with Soliman, especially considering that his last victory over him was very convincing. It'd be similat to Calzaghe giving Lacy a rematch.
So...why is getting away with this? This is outrageous! I, for one, have already upset quite a few aussies by being perhaps too outspoken about Mundine's choice of opposition, so I am going to give it a rest. Am surprised he doesn't get any bad press in Australia though...:huh Bute for example was strongly criticised for fighting Joppy, in Romania. Wait until they'll hear he's fighting Larsen next! All they ask for is Taylor, Kessler, etc! lol
