On 22-03 Odlanier Solis and Tony Thompson will fight in Turkey. I'm going with Solis for this one, but only if he keeps in shape and is not as 'lazy' as his last fights.
The Tiger should not be overlooked in this matchup. Baby seal Solis is in for it. Don't be surprised to see this fight scratched as Solis does not dedicate himself in training camp, and they put in some mediocre EE slugger with a bad chin
I could see a Thompson stoppage, Solis is easy to hit and less mobile I think Thompson will be able to get leather on him consistently
Going by the recent Solis training videos I'm sticking my neck out and going with Solis to pull off a big win to push himself right back into the picture. If Thompson hasn't slayed Solis by the first 6 rounds then it's Solis's to lose.
Solis will win easily. Thompson is almost 43 years old FFS and was painfully slow in his prime....the fattest version of Solis can beat thompson
Going to say Solis in this one, although with no degree of confidence (Solis could come in fat and underprepared). But mainly because Thompson is 42 and his only recent wins of note were against Price, good as they were.
Very good fight for Solis. If he defeats Tony, he will be back right among the very top contenders, earning a chance to get a title shot relatively soon and that's exactly what he needs. I think that Solis will box a Cuban style fight, forcing Thompson to come forward and outboxing him pretty much every round to a wide decision victory. Tony is not very mobile therefore I don't except him to eventually catch Solis. Of course, I expect to see Solis in a decent shape, this is a good opportunity for him and he mustn't blow it. My stake is on Cuban.
