Adamek/Solis AGREE to 4-man tourney!

Solis was winning when the fight got stopped due to his injury.

Sounds great, if it actually happens, but Ustinov? Really?

I know he's ranked pretty high by the WBA, but he shouldn't be.

If the eventual winner is to fight Wlad, wouldn't it be better to have Adamek-Price, or maybe Adamek-Arreola?

 

atsch

 

Arreola is being lined up for a direct shot at Wlad next anyway I thought, so doubt he'd want to bother putting that on the line in a 4-man tourney.

Too early for Price as well IMO, not that I wouldn't give him something of a chance against Adamek but he needs at least another 4-5 fights against higher level opposition before thinking about chucking him in against Wlad.

 

Great if it comes to fruition.

 

Yeah, OK, I get it. Why take a chance when the big money is already a sure thing?

- but imagine how much more interest ($$$) there would be in Arreola-Wlad if Chris first walked through those other guys? Plus, he'd have that much more "high" level experience before facing Wlad. Maybe even enough to, dare I say it? - beat him. (as opposed to just entering the ring to get beaten up & paid, which is the likely scenario.)

If Arreola had the balls to do it, it would probably pay off.

 

If they don't agree then solis vs adamek and the winner gets wlad

 

I hope they do agree, so Solis gets atleast two good fights under his belt before taking on Wlad. It's obvious Solis wins this

I don't see him beating Wlad tho. I thought he had a chance against Vitali but those chances are much much slimmer against Wlad. Unfortunate what happened int he vitali fight. Solis was looking good in there connecting with some nice shots.

 

I'd love to see it. The tourney between Povetkin, Chambers, Byrd and Brock pretty much set Povetkin up as an elite fighter and even since his career hasn't moved on since then he's still right up there

Unless some of the other guys in the division do something big while this tournament is happening you'd possibly find the winner ranked 3rd in the division, or maybe second if Vitali is gone by then

 

:rofl

 

I think Solis would come out of this tourney victorious and impressively. And ultimately lose to Wlad.

If they were smart, they'd immediately line up another tourney so as to have the winner of that one take on Wlad after Solis. Or if by chance Wlad loses, you'd have the tourney winners face off. I'd imagine there'd be a contractual rematch should Wlad lose, but it would all end up being the same anyway, just pushed back a fight. All the more reason to get it cooking.

 

Suprised Adamek took this tbh. A fight with Ustinov is interesting, he's slow but i could see him giving Adamek problems.

Chris is going to avoid Volodymyr and wait until Vitali retires. WBC President Sulaimon will give him a easy fight for the vacant belt in hopes of having the first mexican "HW Champ"

Its obvious Solis beats Pulev?

Solis moves like he has cement blocks on his feet. Pulev is very light on his feet and athletic.
