    The rematch is set to be in 02-27 in Budapest, Hungary. Not expecting much of either fighter, its probably going to be another 12 rounds boring slapping. I hope Solis comes this time a little bit better shape, so he can get title shot from Wlad or Wilder.

    I agree. I like Solis, he is a good boxer but doesn't seem to be in the right kind of shape. Hopefully he gets properly motivated for this

    If he cant beat a middle aged overweight fighter, who at his best was a contender, then Solis should hang them up

    triple T is another year older then when they fight and he's definitely slipping. I expect Solis to turn up out of shape again and manage to make it competitive anyway.
    Solis close UD

    With the 2 previous cancellations I have little belief that this fight will actually happen.

    Solis will either get injured again due to his poor physical state or he'll pull out knowing he isn't in shape to win. Solis losing to a faded Thompson suggests that Solis will have little impact in the future in regards to the heavyweight division. He's simply eaten himself out of contention.

    Hungary is the wrong place for Solis.
    Food is very cheap in this country.

    Their first fight was the most boring HW contest I've seen last year so I doubt if I'm going to watch the rematch.
    I always liked Solis, he's a good technical, but very lazy fighter, but after their last encounter I lost my interest in him.

    Oner is ridiculous. Hungary? seriouslly?

    They already fought in Turkey in a high school gym. 2 US based fighters going halfway around the world to fight on small promotions and ****ty places.

    On top of that Oner blocks Solis trainer from traveling, and people wonder why Solis is unmotivated.

    I feel sory for Solis, he really should get rid of Oner, the man is killing his career for the past 2 years.

    This fight should be in the US, on ESPN.

    Is this going to happen? I am very close to Budapest right now and will most likely go and watch this farce even though it's a joke of a fight.

    Will be genuinely shocked if Solis shows up in respectful shape for this one.

    Why is this fight scheduled for Budapest though?

    If you saw the first fight, you'd understand why they put the repeat in the most remote place possible. Siberia probably wasn't available.
