A little early but Sam Soliman vs. Anthony Mundine, what do you guys think?

I think this will be an entertaining match, but I'm gonna take Soliman by UD.

Last time they met, Mundine (then 8-0-0) won a Split Decision 116-114, 115-113, 113-115

Since then Soliman's only loss has been to Winky Wright.

What do you guys think?

If Soliman can fight at the rate he fought Winky, Munoz he has a shot.
Against Ornelas he was being outboxed untill Ornelas tired out and just lost focus, Soliman brought the heat towards the end of the fight and hurt Ornelas a couple of times.....

On the other hand Mundine can do just that outbox Soliman, the question is does Mundine tank hold enough gas so that he doesn't tire out and can keep up with Solimans work rate......

I'm gonna say Mundine walks away with a SD.....

I could definately see that, but I am going on the assumption that unless Mundine is training by chasing a monkey around the ring, he is going to get worn out trying to catch Solimon.

Yeah!
Soliman better be chasing after them chickens cause hes gonna need stamina when he faces Soliman....

Soliman likes to fight on the inside hes gonna have to make Mundine come inside and trade with him, but see I think Mundine is smarter then that and he won't, Mundine will stay on the outside and try to catch Mundine there..

I couldn't care less about Mundine, Soliman is pretty good to watch, but I don't think he'll win, I hope he does though. The fact its for Kessler's belt is bullshit. Soliman isn't even a big middleweight, and hasn't faught as one since the last time he faught Mundine 6 years ago, yet Hatton isn't aloud to defend against Jose Luis Castillo, and Kessler isn't aloud to defend against Andrade. What the hell is going on?????

Wait I thought Soliman & Mundine were fighting for the WBA Super Middleweight title but because Kessler becomes the WBA "Super" Super Middleweight Champ. ???

Anyone? :(

I don't know, how can they both be fighting for one belt? I don't know man but either way its messed up.

Yeah!
For example B-Hop was the "Super" WBA Champ. and then theres the WBA Champ. they add the 'Super' to it and it makes them more money is a different belt. ;)

Soliman will lose! Soliman aint improved since the first fight, he got better management. Mundine beat soliman when he was still very green in the sport, i know it was a close fight but still mundine won the official decision and managed to last with soliman stamina wise. So what do you think will happen now? Hes faced world class fighters, his stamina is now an advantage over other fighters, he has developed his style. Dont be surprised if soliman gets stopped. Ive seen alot of both fighters, i know soliman is awkward and throws from different angles but it wont matter. Coz when soliman does his awkward shit like put his head way down which ive seen him do plenty of, then mundine is going to have a big right uppercut waiting for him just like he did for danny green. Mundine by UD or tko.

If there's a belt on the line it would probably be the WBA Interim super middleweight belt

I thought 'Interim' was for when a fighter has vouched to the belt org. that hes sick or injured or something? And can't make his title defense....
Then they have the #1 and #2 conetnders fight to see who becomes the 'Interim' champ. to face the actual champ. once he returns.

since when is anything being followed by the book nowadays ???

Unless they're using the books from back when caveman created boxing and said "LEts make a super universan belt for retired fighters that get an instant title shot if they want to come back...dat wud be fuuuuuuuun."
