Odlanier Solis vs. Tony Thompson II

You gotta love Thompson.

No real amateur experience to speak of, never had a big promotional push or big manager behind him.
Hes 43 years old and doesn't have a visible muscle on his body, yet he brings it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Hes almost always the opponent, but he never fights like one.

Tip of the hat

 

...and his post fight interviews/press conferences are pure GOLD!

:thumbsup

 

Thompson's? Any links to these interviews you speak of?

 

ellerbe just lost 1500 too :rofl

 

Sarcasm of course. Blame poor preparation for his performance and injury

I suggest listening start to finish.


"Ive got the Larry Holmes type body and not the 80s Larry Holmes body the 2000s Holmes body"

"How can you look at this belly and tell me Im on something"

"We gonna drink, we gonna party, we gonna have a lotta ***"

So many good lines.

 

He's not a top contender anymore.

 

Brilliant, TT is some guy! Hope he gets the chance he deserves now. No reason he can't do a Bernard Hopkins and box on for a good few years successfully.

 

Seems I can't multiquote but: Just read an interview with Öner:
"I cannot believe how bad Solis was today. He is a disgrace to cuban boxing. I wasted a lot of time, power and money for him. And that's how he give me thanks for that. He had all the talent in the word and he threw it out of the window. I'm done with him, that's it. He still has a contract with me but he made a step from being a serious boxer to being a journeyman. I will throw him to every young and hungry heavyweight who is willing to pay enough money for Solis."
