IBF eliminator too isn't it? Hope Soliman loses sorry prettyboy but it would upset gambler so have to root for Lorenzo.
So if this is an IBF Middleweight Title Eliminator it would be Soliman's 4th & Lorenzo's 3rd. Must be getting close to some sort of record for the amount of eliminator's in 1 division.
Ill say this about Soliman's career,He has travelled all over,fought all over and won all over.Been ranked in the IBF middleweight division top 10 since defeating Sean Sullivan way back when,if memory serves me correctly and has not gotten a shot at that title. Id say for two reasons,his style will not sell at all,especially in the states.And he is that awkward he is always a risk. True?
Can't remember last time Soliman lost at middleweight other than to winky. Been top ten in ibf for years now and deserves a crack. I think if geale beats sturm, Soliman could give geale a tough fight and may even take the title at 38 yrs old
But if geale beats sturm it will be a rematch so if I was Sam I'd wish for sturm to win and maybe maybe don't think so but maybe get a shot at sturm But geale will win and shock sturm
Why the hate for Sam. I will agree that he aint the most exciting fighter to watch sometimes, but he would fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. Not many other fighters you could say that about...so **** you!!!!!
When you get to no1 you become the mandatory challenger the champ has to fight you. Sam was no1 when Abraham had the title but he took the Winky Wright fight instead and lost. Losing his mandatory position. Most elite fighters stay away from him because even if you beat him he still makes you look bad.
