[Leohappy]

oner still owes me a bag of popcorn and a wasted hour, i've spent watching vitali-solis .
and btw he also screamed for vitali rematch after his boxer fell down like an injured elephant. go **** yourself oner.

[The Hammer]

lame stoppage IMO but i don't follow AM boxing so maybe thats a common thing?

Haye would win if they fought now, because Solis has become a fat slob.

[Fishkie]

Oner has zero credibility. I still remember that Danny Williams fight where he actually hit the ring bell to signal the end of the round in the middle of a crucial exchange. LOL.

Me too, Guy is a crook. And a bad looser.. I also remember him saying he would get out of the game If Solis lost... Still waiting

German promoter Ahmet Öner has been shot down in Hamburg at 10.15pm local time on Tuesday night. The CEO of ARENA Box-Promotion was leaving the office of a business partner in Hamburg when two men fired at him three times. The assassins had waited for Öner behind his car when a security light exposed them in the dark and they started the fire. One bullet hit Öner in his left leg before he and his two companions could get back into the building to call the police. The shooters ran away. Öner had to undergo surgery only two hours after the assault. The projectile was successfully removed from his thigh. “I am okay”, stated Öner after the operation. “I have been attacked before but this was the first time somebody cowardly ambushed me in the dark to shoot at me. I hope it will be the last time as well. I know that wherever there is success in the world there is envy as well. I just cannot understand how somebody could go this far and try to kill me. This is insane.”

Originally Öner had planned to fly to New York on Wednesday for Thursday’s press conference along with Top Rank to announce the October 10th show featuring Öner’s Cuban stars Yuriorkis Gamboa and Odlanier Solis. “Maybe somebody wanted to prevent me from getting there”, said Öner. “But it is not up to me to pursue any investigations. Police will take care of it.”

According to the doctors the ARENA CEO was very lucky that the bullet only hit his thigh and didn’t even manage to break any bone. There were not complications at the surgery as well. Most probably Öner can leave the hospital in a couple of days.

“I won’t be stopped by a perfidious attack like that”, says Öner. “We will continue our work exactly as planned. Our next show will be on September 18th in Spain with Steffen Kretschmann and Mahir Oral, live on Eurosport. On October 10th we will have the big show with Top Rank at the Madison Square Garden and then we will be back in Germany on October 24th. The show must and will go on.”

Arena promoter Ahmet Oner is facing 22-24 months of probation and a hefty fine of 120,000 EUR if sentenced for 16 different charges, among them assault, blackmail and coercion - exactly how the German legal terms translates into English is hard to say and if one read German press one get more the impression of crimes - if any - done in the heat of the moment rather than organized systematic criminal acts. Either way the court hand out its verdict on February 11. Oner tells Hamburger Morgenblad the fine does him no harm and in regards of living address- Ahmet told the court he lives at Hotel Kempinski in Istanbul. Many of the charges are related to the very hot relationship with Universum, both at one time based in Hamburg but Arena is now partly relocated even though Oner and Universum go a long way back and Ahmet fought for Universum during his professional career.

Mads Larsen makes no if and buts about the importance of Saturday´s fight against Brian Magee for the vacant EBU supermiddle title. The now 36-year old Danish veteran knows he has to win to have a future in boxing. If he does that it´s easy to see a number of opportunities such as facing WBA "standard" champ Dimitri Sartison, or perhaps WBO king Robert Stieglitz. For Magee it´s probably the same.

Heavyweight Timur Ibragimov is now training in Russia and faces Tanzanian Awad Tamim February 6 in Moscow in a fight that was postponed just before Christmas when Ibragimov was injured. At stake is the vacant WBA International title. Middleweight Dmitry Pirog is also on the bill in a tuneup before facing EBU middleweight champ Matthew Macklin in April.

Translated Article using google , sorry for bad english:

Someone once called Don King of Europe, but Ahmet Oner highest aspiration is to make a name for himself in the boxing world and that someday, a new promoter Ahmet Oner call him their respective terms.

The comparison with the eccentric entrepreneur African American hair standing on end comes, however, the edge of controversy, because Oner, who raises passions among fans and colleagues, leaves no one indifferent security infinite many take it as arrogance.

The Turkish party looks with some distance and then, if it determines that there is no apparent danger, puts the hand on the shoulder and talk as if I knew always knew them and all.

Anything you fear or know what the men who tried to assassinate him in Hamburg recently have not been arrested by German police at any time could repeat the criminal intent.

"I do not I have no illusions,''said Oner, who attended the evening at Madison Square Garden, where two of his boxers, Yuriorkis Gamboa and Odlanier Solis, carry the day." They have not been caught and I do not think they do, but I have no fear.''

According to reports from own Oner, two men opened fire on him in late August as he left the offices of a business associate in Hamburg and managed to injure his left leg.

After three rounds of *******, the two men fled when they realized that several people left the building to attend Oner and began to call the police.

The promoter had emergency surgery and the bullet was extracted.

Why try to kill him?

"Let's say that boxing has its dark side,''said Oner leaving a space open to interpretation." Say you do not know many people deal with when one does well, and succeeds in what it does. I can not complain about what I've accomplished in so little time. Maybe others do not like.''

When he talks about his success as a promoter, Oner raises his arms as if to encompass the entire Garden, because he did not expect to see so early in the Mecca of Boxing alongside a legend like Bob Arum, the main head of the company Top Rank .

Since he decided to stop giving and receiving as a fighter hits-record ended 05/02/16, 11 KO) over the ring, and Arena Box founded in 2006, Oner began to rise like the foam on the so-called Business Pain .

"I worked very hard to get to this point and nobody gave me anything,''said Oner, who turned 38 these days." I have taken risks, but I believe in what I do and when I draw a goal, not to comply. Arena is intended to be a major promoter companies in the world.''

Oner but also recognizes that its presence in the Garden and all the best he could come good in his career is associated with Cubans who have arrived as a surge in recent years.

The same was a fundamental factor in the arrival of Gamboa, Solis, Yan Barthelemy and Erislandy Lara to professional boxing, and tried to help in the escape of Guillermo Rigondeaux.

Without abandoning his European base, to co-promote Oner Gamboa and Solis, along with Top Rank, while in the case of Lara has an agreement with Golden Boy, the entity headed by Oscar de la Hoya.

"This has been a strategy of ours that begins to bear fruit,''said Oner.''Gamboa is already world champion, it will Solis and I have no doubt about that. And Erislandy also close to a title fight at a fast pace. Very soon have news of him and I assure you will be very good. Cubans have given me much joy and it remains the best.''

But this joy is a face Oner for Cuban sports authorities, who have never hidden their displeasure against the promoter Turkish, especially after the setbacks in recent international competitions.

"That's their problem,''said Oner." Let's say I'm just a proportioner opportunities and people, which is larger and decide for themselves and not others, decide which way to go. For me, coming all the Cuban boxers. I show the path the cuda talent which tell how far will come.''
