im telling u this: Odlanier has been getting ready for championship fight, not for a bikini contest.He is carrying the weight his trainer ,conditioner,nutritionist and medical adviser estimated would be ideal due to the magnitus of this fight and the time from the last fight to get ready.
They are wrong then. The guy was a fantastic amateur when he weighed just over 200lbs..hes just over 6ft for ****s sakehe should never be above 230. The fact the whale ballooned to 271 shows that he loves junk food more than boxing.
at the amateurs u relay more on ur mobility,scoring points.As a pro, a HW with no power is a dead fish.Still Solis carry his speed.I agree more than 250 is out of the way but still he was winning and looking fast and strong.
Whats the point? Vitali isn't some young pup. Mind (clothing/weight) games aren't going to affect him one way or the other. Mentally, I doubt it will make any difference to Vitali if Solis comes in at 290 or 230. Trying to make him play guess the weight seems pretty pointless at this stage of his career. And honestly, I doubt he's going to play that game.
Solis is wearing a big red jacket for the sole purpose of hiding his big fat ass and belly. There is no other reason to be dressed like that when you look at Vitali and everyone else who came out.
Here's a short video of Vitali at the open workout. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150128848753814
