Vitali 249.5 - Solis: 247 Official Weigh-in Pics!

Solis will probably get get battered and clowned. I was hoping this was going to be a good fight, but it sure doesn't seem to be shaping up as one. That weigh-in video just about sums it all up. Solis looks like the pudgy younger brother who is going to get exposed by the bigger, fitter older brother.

This isn't the Klitschkos' fault. They dont make these guys come in fat like this. It's bad for the sport, but at least the Klitschkos are holding up their end of things.

 

:rofl:rofl:roflWhat drugs are you taking? Must be strong.

 

EPIX is having a free trial period where you can sign up at their website and watch it.

 

Not impressed with the way Solis looks, wasn't impressed at all with his performance vs Austin either, but my gut feeling tells me this fight will be Vitali's toughest challenge in years. I'm going to give Solis 30% chance to win in comparison with, say, Haye's 15% chance to beat Wlad.

 

Yes, he badly wants the KO this time and is very motivated. Solis is in big trouble. VK is very proud of his KO%.

 

Shannon Briggs should never have lasted the distance though. Vitali is losing his powers...

 

Seconded. One of the best Heavyweight champions.

 

Nah, CHEF has just been frying everything and topping it with mayonnaise and telling them it's soy. They know something's wrong, but they haven't caught on yet. :-(

 

Solis looks really good. hopefully, this is a closer fight or a competitive one for VK

 

Good to see Solis below 250...

But even so... ffs, he literally looks like a guy who has never trained a day in his life!

I know its not a homo body building contest... but still... wtf??? How can anybody train their ass off and still look so soft and wimpy? lol

 

To tell you the truth, aside from the obvious financial reward, I'm not sure why Solis is fighting Vitalee at this stage of the young Cuban's career. Most regard brother Wlad as the real world champion and VK as the number 1 or 2 contender. So, unless Solis' people really think he can win, why fight the elder Klitschko? Do they figure Solis is not really championship material so why not get some hard cash now before he is exposed?

This is another problem with having all these alphabet soup titles. Contenders, who are hard enough to find and build up, get thrown in before they're ready in order to feed the public's need for a title fight. I mean some of these heavies nowadays don't get started before they're almost thirty years old! They have a dozen fights over a four year span and someone is touting them as future champions. It's all arse over teakettle.

 

VITLAY looks a little softer than usual but still in great shape for a man his age. Solis looks soft but is lighter than usual. You shouldn't have expected him to have ripped up like Herbie Hide. I expected as much really.

 

i still think solis should of came in lighter.

 

I noticed that. He is shook already. Vitali is in his head.

Solis already has said he doesn't like boxing. I expect him to fold as soon as he gets hit hard and take his paycheck, never to be heard from again.
