    Vitali shattered his glass jaw with a clubbing shot to the temple, that had him on ***** street. The replay doesn't lie...... You Kitschko detractors are reaching quite a bit, Solis got humiliated by Vitali.

    Hopefully Solis got a testicle transplant. Thompson will probably weight 20 pounds more.

    Because Oner has invested over a million dollars into Solis and hopes to recoup his money. Look up "sunk costs" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_costs -- Thompson is probably not an expensive opponent these days so Oner gives it another go.

    Oner should write off Solis and forget about him. He just can't let it go.

    Yep, Oner made a huge mistake by investing MILLIONS into that fat pig.

    Unless Solis actually takes his career seriously and shows up in shape he's simply setting himself up for another loss. Thompson came in at a career high weight and still threw over a 1000 punches. He may very well lose by a bigger margin if Thompson trains properly and even if Solis does win Thompson is well past prime.

    The first fight was very close, it was far from a decisive win for Thompson. If Solis was in better shape, he probably wouldn't have had to take rounds off. That was the main reason he lost the fight (although I had it 115-113 Solis).

    If Solis doesn't show up in shape (which he probably won't), I'd expect another fairly close fight with Solis winning the decision 7-5/8-4 style. But if he comes in an absolute terrible shape, then I wouldn't be surprised if Thompson even stopped him.

    Do both have any better options worth considering?. This is as good as it gets in the division.

    Solis is a disgrace. Id rather he retired than see his fat ass huff and puff around the ring. Waste of a ranking.

    Thompson has had plenty of time to prepare for the fight, so I think he may come in his best shape this time.

    Oner didn't do a good job of promoting him, Solis went through several long periods of inactivity.

    Odlanier is the kind of boxer that should be kept active, or he'll gain weight and not be in shape.

    Pictures of Solid popped up today as fat as ever. Criminal with the skills this man possessed and his amateur background to throw it all away.
