ok first off, soliman is smoking something man lol. this guy never stops throwing punches. now for those of u saying, o winky did shit, and stuff, i have to disagree with u. soliman could IMO honestly beat many of the middlweights out there cuz of his style. if he had power he could be amazing. winky used his jab, hurt the guy a couple of times, and won a comfortable decision IMO. i could c it a 115-113 - a 118-110 for winky.
his defence was stiill great. tru no one has ever laneded theat much against winky. but hell how many fighters have even come close to throwing 1260 against winky? not much, so only allowing 174 of those to land is pretty dam good. and he landed 46% of his own punches. including i think it was 100 jabs roughly
he didin't dominate like he did with tito and mosely, but this guy is no specific style, he's a freak basically
soliman is pretty good and his stamina is out of this world, plus he is tough, he took some vicous bodyshots and didnt blink, he could probally move down in weight and be a champion
I didn't give Soliman more than 3 rounds. 4 would be the max I could see. They both did awesome tonight and fought as well as either could against each other. Point is, Wright outslugged him later in the fight. Wright was awesome even with the flu. I'm even more of a fan now.
Yeah, I think everyone should be happy and thankful that it was more of a competitive fight than was expected. Thanks, in part, to the unique style Soliman came with.

I of course love Arturo but he is at least an accurate puncher with definite skill when he chooses to use it. It was fine to watch for 12 rounds on free hbo but I don't need to see Sam Soliman again unless its in a war against a Mayorga or someone (although Ricardo would probably tatoo him)
Please, Tito is a very very accurate puncher but could not for the life of him find any gaps in Winky's defense. Soliman did very well considering and would land a lot more on the other top guys.
When Gatti fought a top guy (Mayweather) not only couldn't he land he couldn't even throw punches.
You dummies believe in compubox. You don't need to watch fights. Just listen to Letterman and Merchant and look at compubotch!
i guess i don't understand. :confused: are you arguing that Soliman didn't throw over 1000 punches and that his jab percentage wasn't around 3%? Cause anyone could see that was the case, compubox or not.

He was kind of a freakshow though and wouldn't really want to watch him fight again. Would you want to see anotehr Soliman fight?
i wouldn't mind seeing this guy fight
hell him vs ouma would be interesting. sumin like 2500 punches throwin in the fight?
nice analysis.. it was easily a Wright decision, but i was stunned that Soliman didn't go down during that 11th round. The guy had heart and determination and you can never disrespect that in a fighter.
not to be a jerk but 10th round lol.
hey guys u like my analysis? great! lol, im tryna become a sports writer, so its good when ppl agree with me.
hook me up with sum good karma lol

Cmon dude, your a gatti fan and you wouldn't like to see Sam fight again, Sam is exciting as hell, I would love to see him fight again.

Great analysis on the fight. Your "Wright"
;) you can't expect winky to fight like he did against trini when his opponent if throwing massive amounts of punches. Allowing 174 punches to land while he threw 1260 shows the type of defense winky has. I give all the credit in the world to Sam for fighting like that and IMO making hopkins-Taylor 2 look like a joke with this fight.
