I hope Solis win, but I'll reserve my opinion after the weigh in, and if he still overweight I'll not watch the fight.
I think Solis wins a round or two but he reduced himself to a plodder and will eventually get beaten up. He would have a much better chance against Wlad due to his weak chin. He's never going to KO ol' Vitali.
3 time Olympic Champion and 8 times World Champion Felix Savon from Cuba is 6/8 tall and Solis DESTROYED him TWICE ( actually 3 times but Solis was robbed in the first fight because of boxing politics ) so be careful and don't get to impressed by the size difference, in fact Solis ALWAYS looks the shortest guy in all of his fights and that's because his really size is 5/9 , he's listed at 6/1 but that's not his real height , all his boxing career he had to beat guys bigger than he , even since he was a young boxer so he really knows how to fight those giants , in fact he has almost made it an art , the way he uses his front leg ( left one ) and inches little by little toward his oponent while keeping a strong guard and once he gets inside he let go those fast hands and literally overwhelms his oponent , also he can bang a bit and he has a granite chin ( some people say THE BEST cuban chin of all time ) , poor Klitschko he doesn't know what's comming, when I saw the Betting Odds for this fight (6-1) I couldn't resist and put a bet of £1000 on Solis winning , that would give me a nice £6000 return ( less VAT ) . I urge everybody to do the same, Peace,
Yes , a " GREAT WHITE " shark , he is the " Great White Boxer " looking for his next victim ( preferabily a " Black " one ) and sadly this is the escence of the Klitshkos brothers whole bussines plan , now people talks about the " Great Black Hope " , about finding one , any one that can regain the Heavy Weight Crown , but they are clever ( Klitshkos ) , they don't want a strong one , they want tomato cans so he can beat them easy and keep the " dream " going , there's nothing their fans in Germany and Ucraine enjoy more than when they beat those tomato cans , they did everything to get out of a fight with Solis , offered step aside money , became extremely difficult during negotiations , etc, but Solis team stood firm : ! No ! We want to fight you ,! Finally they offered Solis 70-30 % thinking Solis team won accept the offer but they did , 70% !! Are you joking ? , so if this doesn't prove Solis determination for this fight , I don't know what then . They ( The Klitshkos ) have created an entire bussines out of MEDIOCRITY ! Amazing.
They offered Solis 30% all along, because that's the mandatory split mandated by the WBC. Not sure what you're on about. Gomez got 30% as well, as did all other mandatory challengers. I find it interesting how neither Gomez nor Solis went for the purse bid. Quite telling. They knew the purse bid would never yield a higher total pot than what K2 offered them.
" Solis hates Boxing " , people have repeated this lie so many times that is beginning to sound true .
Solis is not 5ft 9. Not at 260 and 270lbs. Tua was the size of a balloon at 245lbs. Barret was a similar size to Odlanier than David was. It's easy to look small against a 6ft 8 Vitali, and it's easier to look even smaller when Solis hunches his back with his head down at the floor....
Gomez had over 300 amateur fights for Cuba, he is 6 feet 4 inches tall and was 35 when he fought Vitali. Vitali will knock Solis out! All the talk in the world will not win the fight for Solis. Whistling in the dark is what Solis fans are doing. Solis looked like crap against an Austin. Vitali is not Austin!
Solis looks like a fat garbage man. In another thread I stated I'd give Solis 10 rounds but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends sooner. It could come down to how much punishment does Solis want to take, and possibly hospital.
