    Solis is 20 lbs heavier than he was in their previous encounter, Thompson on the other hand is 5 lbs lighter. What does that tell you about their respective drives? Thompson WANTS to win this, Solis couldn't care less...

    They both suck. I wish there was a way for them both to lose.

    It was a very very close close fight and could have went either way.

    And age catches up to you, which will happen this time around.

    Solis will win this.

    Juergen Langos whom scored the first fight for Solis is also judging this fight.
    Factor in Oner.
    Solis by Robbery.

    II have no doubt in my mind that Thompson will WIN this fight, but I'm worried about the fix being in as the fight is in Turkey, and Oner(Solis' promoter) is Turkish, and the judge who gave the first fight to Solis will also be judging this one. I think it will be more clear cut this time as Solis is in worse shape, and Thompson is in better. Solis doesn't have the style to capitalize on Thompsons age, for that you need to either be ELITE or a high volume come forward pressure guy like Takam or Chisora.

    If there was going to corruption, it would have happened the last time around. No need to be worried.

    Solis had him figured out in the later rounds and was putting in work and winning those rounds in their first fight

    If he can at least put in a spirited effort like that throughout the fight (Which I can he can do even though he's heavier this time around), he can easily win.

    Put a little bet on Thompson and a draw. I think he will win 11 rounds.

    My exact thoughts.

    I foolishly bet large on TT Dec with only styles in mind. I came to know about Oner and the judge later. Already consider my money gone.

    Clearly isn't the biggest boxing match this week with Fury, Frampton and Eubank jr in big fights as well.

    It's scheduled for 19:00 according to bookies website but there's no broadcast I can find, maybe on some obscure Turkish tv channel.

    Ronda Rousey is the biggest fight this week.
