Sam Soliman: win #46 at age 45

Sam Soliman W10 Mark Lucas...According to the WBF, Australia's Sam Soliman defeated countryman Mark Lucas by way of unanimous decision in Melbourne, Australia. The official scorecards favored the 45 year-pld Soliman by 120-108 and 118-108 (twice). Soliman, who briefly reinged as the IBF middleweigh champion in 2014 (he defeated Felix Sturm and lost to Jermain Taylor) is now 46-14-1 in a distinguished pro career that dates back to  1997. Retirement is always an option for a 22-year veteran, but Soliman may have in mind an Australian old-timers' fight vs. another former champion from Down Under, Anthony Mundine. Lucas is now 9-2. source: world boxing foundation
