Christ, I can't believe the sort of love Solis is getting in this thread. The Solis who fought Vitali was a fat disgrace, just less of a fat disgrace than he usually is. And he's had one fight against a total bum since then where, surprise, surprise, he came in grossly overweight. Adamek's going to outpoint that tubby chubster for a UD, and if he wins based on workrate alone then so the hell what? Fights aren't won on potential, are they?
your analysis: 1 to 6: this is ****ing boxing, no judo,football or shot put/javelin 7- Danny Williams is shot as **** 8- really? undefeated? what is new in boxing? the "pig" who you are referring above is a genuine olympic and world champ of you know what sport?...boxing.
It's fashionable in Cuba to give your kids the most outlandish names possible - and one way they do that is spelling regular names backwards. :good
this isnt the amateurs either. everything you have ever said about solis refers to his greatness...at the amateur level. where he was better than who? yes, other amateurs.
You are missing the point. Larsen has performed at a high level in a large number of sports. This is a guy who was drafted ahead of an NFL legend, having already finished 4th in the junior world championships in one sport and national champion in another. He is in AWESOME physical shape. Solis is a blubbery mess and his appearance is an embarrassment to the sport. What will the casuals think of this fat joke, especially when he is in the same ring as an incredible human specimen like Larsen? As for Danny Williams, Charr went seven rounds with him, the stoppage was bull**** and he didn't drop him once. Larsen had him out of there in the second round.
Adamek is too good a fighter to come in with bad conditioning. As talented as Solis is, he will need to be in fighting shape for this bout. Unlikely though, the pole takes this.
Vitali got his lights turned off by Oleg Maskaev and even more notably Pele Reid as an amateur. When talking about professional boxing, amateur fights mean pretty much nothing.
Except the times he became a unified cruiserweight champ and Heavyweight title holder. 2 things Adamek never and probably never will do.
After Bell did it before Haye against the same Mormeck After Chagaev already did it but stripped due to BS boxing politics. A farce of a fighter.
