What up my talking fight fans thanks for tuning in to today’s episode of knuckle up with myself mike or i’m a man, cedric ben sporting, the new haircut in the den you know what we doing.
Man we’re talking matchroom we’re talking guys to look out for, and this is another one – solomon kisiko.
Yes, the french-born boxer super welter 15-0, with nine kos he’s ranked second at a 64 in france and he’s ranked 22 out of 1904 in the world, and this 5 10 and a half with a 17.
5 inch reach born in dakar.
Sengal resides now in saint dennis france um.
You know, he’s coming off a wonderful unanimous decision, win against roberto venezuela jr back march, the 5th of 2022 guys uh cedric.
Do you want to break this kid down a bit for us all? Yes, yes, yes, uh, watching! Some of his highlights here, um he’s a boxer, but he doesn’t mind brawling um and we got a chance to watch a little bit of his highlights here.
He got caught.
He got caught in his last fight here um.
I forgot this.
What’S this guy’s name again: roberto valenz, valenzuela jr, who is a tough opponent? Yes, yes, first uh valenzuela dropped him and then he came back and dropped.
Uh dropped, valenzuela late, so um yeah man he’s a.
He doesn’t mind, mixing up for sure very good jab.
He looks like i know: do you have his stats on his reach? He looks like he’s a long reach.
Seven.
Seventy and a half inch, seventy half ish for five.
Four.
How tall is he five? Ten and a half seventy and a half inch reach he’s, got yeah, he’s all arms short torso, big long arm, guy yeah yeah.
Definitely a great french boxer man uh get signed to match room uh anything else.
You want to say on there, yeah yeah like he.
If you have a certain body type, you can take advantage of certain things like uh.
He has with obviously not floyd mayor skills, but he has floyd mayweather’s body type like the short coast with long arms.
So, like he’s very he’s, very good at using like he’ll, throw a couple of pop-pop straight punches and instead of having to jump back, he can just lean lean back without jumping because he’s keeping you that far away with his extra reach um.
So that’s something! That’S! That’S a small advantage that only um fighters that have a long reach can take advantage.
But with that being said, it’s not always the case.
Just because you you have a longer reach means you’re gon na do better from a distance.
It still has to be educated too so um yeah man.
He definitely i don’t know what his amateur background is, but you can tell that he did have something right now, we’ll touch a little bit about his amateur right.
Now, okay, you know um.
He was born in sango arrived in france as a four-year-old in vilde’s, uh lebel and currently resides in paris uh.
He excelled as an amateur with over 150 fights through the cadet junior and senior ranks before culminating in captaining, the french national boxing team in 2013.
Until 2016, where he captured bronze at the rio olympics in the welterweight division, turning professionals in the olympics to see what i mean you want to bronze mello at the olympics, i knew there must have been some kind of background.
I could see.
No, i could smell a good amateur when i said that’s right, that’s right! That’S why we do this man.
We do this to bring all these people out here watching man, these great fighters still watching we’ve been watching from amateurs right through until they’re paid ranks.
Um.
You know he has forged an unbeaten record um, you know and he’s got lots of knockouts man and this french super welterweight champion uh.
You know he’s he’s managed by the two-time world heavyweight champion, anthony joshua’s 258 management uh.
You know he signed the match room uh.
He made his entry into the u.
s market at the iconic madison square garden in new york, uh, with a victory over vladimir hernandez on the undercard of joshua’s fight against andy ruiz.
This highly talented kid man, you know with natural athleticism hand, speed and power in both hands has been heralded as one of the most exciting prospects coming through the sport.
Today, his sublime skills were recognized earlier in his career.
In just his seventh fight.
He defeated vastly experienced former world champion carlos molina uh.
You know he’s thrilled to have you know he had everlasting his corner.
He was, you know, signed to them, uh, as, as you know, one of his sponsors sporting, their gloves and using those gloves to knock people out man and uh.

I didn’t.
I didn’t remember his name when when he first said it, but when i looked him up, i i remember you know i just just by his movement.
I remember seeing him fight before very accurate, with his punches um uh, not exactly a knockout artist with nine knockouts out of 15 fights, but he makes up for it with his skills and his accuracy.
