Sam Soliman is on a roll but he hasn’t really fought anyone close to the quality of Winky Wright, and his winning run is likely at its end. He is, however, a true middleweight, unlike Tito Trinidad, who Wright defeated in his 160-pound debut. Soliman has faced some decent fighters and has never been stopped so I doubt that Wright will stop him as Wright doesn’t hit that hard and is much more of a stylist. Soliman isn’t much of a hitter either and even if he was it is damn near impossible to land flush on Winky. Wright will outbox Soliman for the full 12 rounds and take a decision victory. I think a clash of heads is the only way this one doesn’t go the route.
