I love Sam Soliman but can it really be considered an upset now that he’s like 200 years old?
LMAO! Was thinking the same thing. What were the odds for this bout exactly? The Bika (42 years old himself) fight a few months ago was Soliman’s first in a couple of years, and he lost that. I like Sam as well, but he might want to consider finding something other than boxing to occupy his time. A whole lot of ring years and fights under his belt.
What upset? It would have been an upset if Soliman won. He is as old as King Solomon.
LOL, except King Solomon had hundreds of wives and was the son of King David. Sam does not have those accolades.
Upset??? A young undefeated guy beating an old man is called an upset???
Simply hype to blow up some fighter’s marketability. LOL
That’s not an upset. Soliman is 80 yrs old.
ohhhmyy
maybe this should be it…
unless,, an exhibition lol
Like I said it was a disgrace to let Sam fight when he going to get it through his thick skull retire you idiot if you can’t beat a 3 win fighter
In summary, ever so true…..
Read my comment peterf
Don’t know how soliman achieved so much???
That joke of a commission in Victoria needs to pull Sam’s license. He’s a great fighter and I really enjoyed watching him fight back in the day, but he’s going to be badly hurt if he keeps doing this. I also suspect the officials down there aren’t paying attention in other cases where fighters shouldn’t be licensed.
Not good…………………
