Sadam Ali - Future Champion

[AddiX]

Word is his father prices himself out of promotional deals...some think itz cuz of his nationality(doubt it)...

140 and 147 are hot divisions right now so he'll probably have to do some impressive stuff to get noticed...I think he lost some buzz since the Olympic Team did awful...

Sean Monaghan who's from my gym makes his pro debut this Friday on the Briggs card...

He had a promotional deal though, and there is no way Dibella would sign him without options which means he let him go. It is possible Dibella wasnt fulfilling his contract.

I didn't realize he was 6-0 so I guess he's being moved at a good enough pace.

What gym you at?

BTW BB Kings is the best venue in NY, I love watching fights there, only place you can stand by the bar and still see everything perfect.

I wonder whats with the slow start though, and why he's no longer with Dibella.

The kid def has skills but to be honest as far as NY fighters go I think Mike Faragon or even Darnell Giles were far ahead of him when they were young pros.

Those are upstate fighters if anyone was wondering. Giles I heard hasnt been training seriously but when he came out of the ameatures as the #1 in the country he was way better than Ali. Faragon is still undefeated. For those in the NY area, Faragon and Ali fight the 21st on Bowery, I'll be there.

Personally, I think Ali is better than them both. Should be a great fight on the 21st though.

I box outta Freeport PAL...we have Sean and another pro right now...everyone else is amateur...we had a finalist this past year in the GG's who lost a close fight(still waiting to see it aired)...we get a lotta good work tho...Danny Jacobs, Joe Greene, Curtis Stevens...Marcus Browne, Steven Martinez and Pedro Sosa(amateur) have come through...

Havoc Boxing Gym(Coney Island) is doing there thing rite now tho...

I'm biased because I'm from upstate and trained with them. Giles in the amateurs was insane and even as a pro before he started slacking. Faragon IMO has much tighter technique.

Ali def has skills though, will be interesting to see how he develops as a Welterweight.

Ali fights at Starret?

I did hear about Havoc, I think I know some guys who use to train there.

That's where Paulie Malignaggi was training out of...Sherif Younan and Andre Rozier run the gym...

He's without a promoter which makes it harder to get on cards.. never signed with anyone since turning pro .. still young and very talented , fighting on may 21st in new york his hometown...

[Falifilms]

great prospect

has never been signed to a promoter since turning pro. Great boxer, seems to be getting stronger especially with his last fight which resulted in KO.. hasnt fought any walk-overs other than his first fight. fought good caliber opponents.. very good prospect coming up other than Jose Benivedez.. wonder when he will get signed thou... guess they waiting for the proper deal???

Sadam was never with lou.. always was a free agent which makes it harder to get fights.. with a promoter ali wouldnt of fought the guy he fought yesterday at bowery.. Clay is a experienced fighter who fought many good fighters.. berto, ouma, kirkland, jones, and the list goes on.. Ali held his own.. thought he looked great other than maybe losing focus a bit and feeding to the crowd a tad.. but the kid got talent.. gotta give it to him .. Ur thoughts to who was at that fight card ???? Faragon on the flip side looked good but fought a bum at 10 and 0 ..
