OCTOBER 2014 BOXING PREDICTIONS, Part 2

 

october-2014-boxing-predictionsSam Soliman vs. Jermain Taylor
Soliman is taking on an odd choice of opponent for a man who did as much calling out as he did.  Losing close controversial decisions, having to fight on the road, being rushed in his opening career.  Soliman survived it all, and after 17 years is finally a world champion.  However, he picked the one sanctioning body that enforces mandatories, so he is wasting his optional facing a shot fighter in Taylor, instead of unifying.  Not that Quillin or Cotto want any part of him... but it makes you wonder why he would not pursue the fight with GGG that he said he wanted.  But I digress.  Taylor is facing legal troubles that do not make his assignment any easier.  I have also seen nothing in his comeback that would make me think he is back to old form.  In fact, a lighter hitting fighter like Soliman may seem like the best option, but it just means he will face 12 rounds of futility against the Australian's awkward style.  Soliman by UD.
 
Carlos Molina vs. Cornelius Bundrage
I am glad K9 gets another shot.  I am glad Molina is finally back in the ring after wining the title over a year ago.  In fact, the winner of this fight is closer to a Floyd fight than you may think.  The IBF belt is the one Floyd has never had, and both fighters are Midwestern, giving Mayweather a chance to return to roots.  Not that I am predicting this, but if Molina gets the win, it would not shock me if he got a big fight down the line.  He will win, as well.  Bundrage is too wild to bother the awkward champion... and Molina is too iron chinned to buckle when K9 does get the odd shot home.  Molina by UD.
 
Odlianer Solis vs. Tony Thompson
Thompson should be done by now, but he keeps finding new life.  His loss got Pulev has many people calling Pulev the best challenger for Klitschko since David Haye and Alexander Povetkin.  Of course both of those men stunk it out against Big Wlad for 12 rounds, as will Pulev likely, but it seems to be a mark of quality.  Quality that Solis was said to have, but it has never really been shown on the world stage.  Much like his fore-bearers Ramon Garbey, Jorge Luis Gonzalez, and in size, Mike Perez, the Cuban heavyweights just get fatter when they find freedom, not better.  Thompson may not have much left, but he has enough left to outbox Solis... whether or not he will get the decision on his opponent's promoter's card is anyone's guess.  Recent events would suggest he will not.
