Injuries happen freaquently to guys who are 50 pounds overweight. In fact, sometimes the injury is just an excuse for not being ready.
Arena really need to get Solis a good conditioning coach to get him into shape, he has alot of potential and losing 20lbs would do him a load of good. I think he's just lazy because he doesn't have someone forcing him to train like they did in Cuba, he was impeccable shape in the amateurs.
It has been my experience as a lifetime fan that training/weight problems never get better. Every generation has its guys that people pump up with "if he could just loose X number of pounds..." He's not going to loose it on any kind of permanent basis. He is 50 pounds, 50 pounds over the weight he won his medal. As a smallish heavy, that is fullly a fifth added to his natural fighting weight. If we are lucky, this guy might get himself in good enough shape to pick up one alphebet title, but that is it. He simply is not going to be long reining, undisputed, unifed, HOL or ATG.
Visa issues first time, Solid injury second time. Botha's gonna be an old man by the time he gets to fight Solid. Hang on a minute...
