    Solis better check his contract just to make sure that his total earnings will not be just be enough to pay for his hospital bills.

    I think Solis did train hard for this fight. 247 is good for him so I give teh guy credit. He was 260 the last time out.....Vitali weighed less than his last fight but looks a lot softer so maybe he didnt have the best training camp.

    Solis is in better shape than he has been for some time so at least he made some effort. Realistically he was never gonna lose a huge amount of weight since the Austin fight that would have done more harm than good. It's a real shame so many heavyweights these days are so overweight.

    Vitali looks a little softer but it's not a significant difference and at his age he is still in amazing shape.

    I'm not a fan of either Klit but Vitali is a scary looking mo-fo.

    Really dissappointed at Solis, the last thing the HW scene needs is a top contender turning up in poor shape, not putting up a fight & only there for the paycheck.

    I'm not even watching this fight anymore.

    Nobody "absolutely murders" Vitali Klitschko. Get your head out of the nostalgia clouds. It would be an interesting fight, very tough for both men.

    Solis looks like he wants to eat Vitali's jab.

    I don't understand how these guys who get paid to train come in fat! That being said he is the lightest he ash been as a pro so that should show he has taken this fight seriously. Really cant wait for this one, I think it will be a very good fight.

    I though Vitali showed a little bit of his age after the Johnson fight, the next day press conference he looked really quite banged up considering that Johnson threw about 11 punches the whole fight.

    Vitali is the baddest man on the planet.

    He has to save boxing from the embarrassment of having Spongebob Solis the Obese as a HW champion.

    Because regardless of them coming in fat, they still get paid like a motha****er a fight or two down the line

    Johnson threw a lot of jabs and had a long reach. But he threw almost nothing else.

    Vitali brought it against Briggs and he'll bring it for Solis, who he sees as a threat. He steps up his game when he feels challenged.

    What did some of you expect of Solis? He matched his career lowest weight. Give the guy credit. Me may not look like a greek god, but that doesnt mean hes not in shape.

    Agreed. Strangely this is the most up for a heavyweight fight i've been in a while. Something about Solis says this just isnt going to be a walkover. Feel free to hihglight this tomorrow if the fight lasts a round lol

    No pride, no heart, no hunger to be the best. It's sad to see. All these guys have to do, as a job, is be in shape and train. And many of them still can't do it.

    Forget about how much the Klitschkos have dominated the HW division. The most "damaging" thing they have done to fighters in the West is make them look like uncaring, spoiled slobs. That includes guys like Lewis, who wasn't in the kind of shape he should have been for the Vitali fight.

    I'm really struggling to see the logic in that.
