    I'm not really into these things. It usually means nothing but...

    Maybe it's just the moment. Maybe he's just shy...
    He looks like a kid in there.

    Someone mentioned its a Cuban boxing tradition to avoid eye contact.

    I agree with you.

    But i just haven't someone looking more intimidated in recent years...

    Don't compare Cotto to this!

    Afterwards he send his trainer to ask Vitali for an autograph :yep

    But those staredown things are always massively overrated, I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face if it was me standing there.

    Just my opinion, but it looked to me like he was staring at the belt not Klit. He meets Vitali's eyes for a second, gives a smile, then it's back to the belt.

    The smile was a nervous one though. Maybe it's the sheer physical size of Klit that intimidates. While there may be some nerves - Solis has prepared his whole life for this, remember - I think he will be overall much more composed, focussed and confident than the majority of Vitali's past opponents.

    Staredowns dont mean sh*t

    Look at Cotto Vs Pacquaio, when they stood together back to back, Cotto had that smirk on his face like "this Pacaqiuo is nothing"

    Tyson Vs Bruno 1 - It was Bruno staring down at Tyson while Tyson looked away

    Mcneeley smiling at Tyson during the staredown

    these things dont mean nothing

    I remember Sam Peter looking very timid too. You could tell Vitali got to him.

    I don't like the "Stare down" crap either, but that one's pretty telling, as is the size difference, the conditioning difference, the experience difference, and everything else!

    It's over already. If Solis is smart he'll watch the Briggs fight tonight and not even show up.
