Odlanier Solis vs. Tony Thompson RBR

Main event coming up!

 

a cuban and american fighting in turkey - half emtpy crowd ...only in boxing

 

Lets go

 

So MANY close rds.......Cabazel only won 4 clearly, Olukun only won 3 clearly.

The rest of the rds, swung back and forth. Cavazel with the faster and better combo punching, ntm cleaner landing shots and solid body punching, esp when Olukun would clinch.

However, Olukun seemed to be landing the harder shots, and they took more of a mental toll on Cavazel. I thought Cavazel looked hlafway afraid of Olukun after the first or second rds.....He landed a solid combo on Olukun that didnt phase him, and from there he was just going thru the motions and trying not to get KOd....

As for Cabazels future....he's got one. Defo as/more skilled than Szpilka, decent power...(NOBODY'S KOING OLUKUN)....and he's go good handspeed, above average defense, and nice combo punching. His chin held up to some hard shots, and although he faded midway thru the rds, he had no quit in him, and he made 10rds after only his 10th fight.

That said......he's bitten off more than he could chew tonight. He needs to take a step back...he's only 21.....take some easy easy fights....and gradually work back to 10rdrs....

I think he should take 4-5 fights/yr against guys like Goga Abuladze....and Konstantine Airrich...those types....get several of those types, before stepping back up into the higher ranked journeyman like Olukun....and no more iron chinned fighters until he's established his power or his speed.

He looked really discouraged that he couldnt hurt Olukun.:think

 

The ticket holders who couldn't make it are currently in a Turkish prison!
