Boxing schedule for the month of March
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Speaking of great body punchers, here is the Rigondeaux fight from today. Looks like he listened to his critics he came out very aggressive and went full beast mode on the poor irish lad
If he keeps that up, that aggression and intensity, I seriously doubt anyone could beat him in his division. Even Donaire would have massive problems with him (but too bad donaire is with golden boy now, another fight we wont see).

ESPN-Odlanier Solis has sustained serious knee injuries
BERLIN -- Odlanier Solis has sustained serious knee injuries in his first-round knockout defeat by WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko on Saturday.
The 30-year-old Cuban was taken to hospital, where a scan revealed tears to his anterior cruciate ligament and external meniscus, as well as cartilage damage in his right knee.
The crowd in Cologne was disappointed by the 179-second bout. The fans booed and whistled for several minutes after it ended.
Klitschko said he's "sorry for the spectators. I don't fight for me, I fight for them."
The 39-year-old Ukrainian had delivered a right to Solis' left temple, when the Cuban wobbled back and fell on his back before clutching his knee.
It was Solis' first defeat in 18 pro fights. Klitschko improved to 42-2.

White haired dude talking, saying Öner is twisting the facts, claiming that Solis could have continued the fight, if it wasn't for the leg twist,when Öner suddenly interrupts:"AHHHHHH...we don't make excuses, his knee is injured, just shut your mouth...WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY? WHAT? WHAT?". White haired dude calls Öner "white trash anti social scum", which makes Öner even more upset: "No u are white trash, you are a fuckin disgrace!! SHUT THE FUCK UP, LISTEN, I WOULD FUCK YOU (UP) IF YOU WERE [cant understand this part]..white dude saying Öner should be careful, cause he's on parole.....Öner: "YOU ARE NOTHING!! Vitali, im sorry, but this man is is a fuck up, im sorry and I apologize! You are a great champion, you dont deserve this. I have respect for my ex father in law, for you, and even for your brother, but this man is constantly provoking... SHUT THE FUCK UP!"..exit Öner.

lmao dude is crazy. I remember a couple years ago he got shot in an assassination attempt. you gotta really piss people off if fools hire a hit on you. I mean this is boxing, right? who the hell gets hits on them in boxing this isn't the 1950's when the mob used to run shit.
I don't know how he got these cubans, but he quickly snagged several of the cuban defectors, Gamboa, Solis, Erislandy Lara, Yan Barthelemí and Rigondeaux. Basically he got the entire Cuban olympic team. I don't know how he did it. I believe he was involved in getting them out of Cuba or arranging for them to get to Germany and/or America when they were participating in international boxing events. . He saw $$$. Gamboa is obviously dope as fuck, so are Lara and Rigo and I don't see them losing for a while.
He probably just got them gold and some quick cash and they being from Cuba and never experienced anything like that just signed the contract
Ahmet Öner survives shooting (2009)
Promoter assaulted in Hamburg
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.”

and Erislandy Lara on Friday Night fights.
So that's Erislandy Lara, Pirog and Gamboa. Doesn't get much sweeter than that.
Another Cuban, Yudel Johnson, is on the undercard of the Lara fight as well, he's pretty good himself from what I've seen.
So naner you have no excuse. Solis, Rigondeaux, Gamboa, Lara and Johnson all fight within days and you're no where to be seen?? Inexcusable!

Haha, it took me a while to watch all the fights from the past weekend cause of work and shit. So I stay away in order to not get shit spoiled for me. I was mostly waiting on Rigo fight to show up only to watch him crush Casey in 3 minutes in bad quality ha.
Solis .. that shit just sucks man. Maybe I'm tripping but he came out looking fairly good that 1st round until that shit happened. Good luck getting that chance again soon..
Can't wait to see Gamboa, Lara & Jhonson fight though. Gutierrez has been a punching bag lately anytime he stepped up to face a decent fighter, I don't expect this to go much different.
Lara & Gamboa are in for some tough fights. Solis is gonna be much taller than Gamboa and he has solid pop in his gloves .. the only 2 fights he lost are to Pacman and the wrestling match he had with Cruz in the rematch.
.. and Molina ain't no bitch. Molina's gonna give Lara a seriously tough fight. I've seen him fight plenty on cards he was put on to lose and came out on top cleanly (even in fights that didn't go his way with the judges should've went his way..)

Solis definitely looked good against Vitali, while it lasted. I mean it's just the first round so doesn't mean much, but I thought he was clearly winning until the freak shit happened.
Would you say the Solis that is fighting Gamboa is Gamboa's biggest test to date? I've seen him a few times and he always looked solid. Even against Pacquiao, if I remember correctly, he gave pac some problems and it turned out to be one of pac's lesser memorable fights until the KO late. Seemed either it was a style clash for pac or he was just able to make pac a bit hesitant for a while. I remember pac bleeding in that fight.
I specifically remember that because I had a couple friends over that never saw Pac before and I was swearing up and down how great Pac is and this and that, and they were totally unimpressed lol
