    Brian is shot If he doesn't start throwing more punches, he'll be dicing pineapples on them Hawaiian plantations for the rest of his life.

    Its really hard to outbox Viloria, but he gets outworked so easily.

    If Solis is gun shy, Viloria stands a good chance, other than that, Im not really giving him a shot.

    It be interesting if Viloria won, so many of the filipino fan base abandoned him because of his fighting style and his beef with Nonito Donaire, I wonder how would they treat him for beating Ulises Solis AKA The Pinoy destroyer.

    Viloria is a good fighter . . . he is just more tentative now than before. It's more of a psychological problem.

    I still give him 50/50 chance against Solis . . . more on a T/KO; Solis via UD.

    hmm, i think the only way brian has a shot is if solis gets in a war with valoria. brian can has some good power and speed.

    solis is becoming the "filipino killer." i hope brian lets go of his punches or he'd trail in the scorecards again.

    I don't disagree about him getting another title shot. he was a former champion who fell to the sidelines. he had picked up his broken pieces, even to the extent of fighting in undercards of little boxing matches held in tents. he was literally humbled but still determined to get back.

    If Viloria's down on points with 6 rounds left, I dont think he has enough agressiveness and ferocity in him to will himself back into the fight.

    If he's leading on points by the 6th round, he's got a chance to win.

    Viloria I think will win the fight, and do so easy. I think that he is a very talented fighter that seems to not want to let his hands go. Then again he may pull a "NO SHOW" the way that he did vs Romero:shock: the first time, I thought that he won the rematch, and I thought that he won vs Sosa....

    What Viloria needs to do is win this fight and then stop trying to fight at 108, I think that is the reason that he looked so bad in his two loses, he looks much better when he fights at 112 and 115.

    He doesnt have enough fire in him, I think.

    Very good technically, good speed and power.

    But he lacks that little extra something that the great fighters use to dig themselves out of a losing fight.

    I'm thinking ATG fighters and top p4p guys have that extra 6th gear in their gearbox when they really dig deep enough, and they raise their level of play.

    As flashy and as cool looking Viloria's ride looks, his gear only goes up to 5.

    Maybe its cutting down to 108 that is what make it appear that something is missing. Not all boxing people are smart, it maybe a error on his teams part:good

    viloria should have that fire back by now especially since he's trying to reestablish.

    Depends, if he throws 10 punches a round and goes through the motions.. bad loss again.

    He's the nothing-weight version of Shannon Briggs.
