ODLIANDER SOLIS SAYS HE WILL WEIGH 250 LBS FOR HIS FIGHT WITH RAY AUSTIN................U BELIEVE HIM?????? I PERSONALLY DONT.... NOT 1 BIT:smoke:smoke
I doubt he will do it for Austin fight, knowing he can win easily even at 270. And I agree even 250 is still too much. Ike was similar size and looked almost overmusculated... and still was about 235 for most of his career.
According to this http://www.***********.com/?m=show&id=33331 his trainer says Solis will be 250, and the article says Solis is 265 now. If Solis gets under 260 for the weigh-in he deserves to be the favorite against Austin, considering what he's been able to do in the ring above 260.
Solis is one hell of a talent though. Great amateur background coupled with his terrific power. If the weight doesn't affect his stamina I honestly have no problem with him being a carreer 250'er.
Solis also said this in an interview about a month ago. J.S: What would you say to those critics who say you carry too much weight in some of your fights? O.S: Only I know my body. Im not an [Chris] Arreola or one of those guys. Im a different breed. Have you seen me fight, how fast I am and how many punches I throw?" So basically he's saying that he has no plans to lose any weight.
You're sure he said twohundredfifty pounds? Because he probably said it with a double cheeseburger in his mouth.
