To be fair, if the hook to the temple was so damaging, why was Vitali so angry at Solis when he stayed down?
if it didnt make him lose his equalibrium then why was BOTH of solis legs doing the bambi on ice dance when he went down and when he tryd to stand???face it buddy he got caught and got hurt and injured in the process..i hope he makes a come back he has some good skills..but theres always that chance of getting caught easy on the temple by taller fights with great hooks..:good
Its the same story with Solis, if he gets himself into shape then he's a top heavyweight who poses a threat to both Klitschkos but if he keeps being 25-30 pounds overwieght than he's wasting his talent. I think Airich is a very reasonable opponent for Solis's first fight back, its a lower-tier IBF title fight which should give him a nice ranking. Hopefully he fights a top 10 guy or two after this and then looks to challenge Wlad, that could be an interesting fight.
Imagine how badly Mitchell would **** Austin. Imagine how badly current Chauncey would school the 300lb Chauncey. What would Chisora do to guy like Austin had they fought? When Solis was 200lbs he had some smooth skills. When he was 220 he looked healthy and strong. But at 240-260....he's a fathead who can barely handle 40 y/o Austin. And now, seeing how well he takes a counter temple shot.......not looking good. A heavy handed guy like Helenius would knock him into next week wiht a L hook. Hell, even a snappy puncher Price:blood would likely drop him, and with all that weight, torquing those joints.....not looking good unless he can find a way to take it off and keep it off. As for Arrich......decent comeback fight with a solid journeyman. So at least he coming back at the same level Boystov is stepping up to and Mitchell just stepped back for.....so'll Ill not criticise his choice of opponent. Should be a good fight while the softish chinned Arrich can hang around.:think
I'd like to see that rematch as well, I just figured he may be going the Wlad route since his fight with Airich is for a minor IBF title which would put him on path for Wlad. But either brother would be an interesting fight.
