Comments Thread For: Odlanier Solis Fights His Way Back To Top 10 Ranking

[JakeNDaBox]

On May 19th Cuban heavyweight sensation Odlanier Solis returned to action by outclassing IBF intercontinental champion Konstantin Airich in Pharr, Texas. It was Solis’ first fight since suffering a bad knee injury at the end of the first round of his WBC world heavyweight title fight against Vitali Klitschko in March 2011 in Germany.

Now the WBC awarded the Cuban’s comeback win with the number 10 spot in their heavyweight ratings putting Solis in a position where he is a potential challenger for Klitschko’s title again. Vitali has already announced that he wants to fight again in early September in Kiev (Ukraine); lots of names have been discussed but no deal has been officially announced yet.

"Vitali is a great champion who has had a very impressive career. If he wants a worthy ending for his championship reign he should give Odlanier Solis another shot at the title. There is definitely no better challenger for him out there at the moment", says Solis’ promoter Ahmet Oner. [Click Here To Read More]

That's great - he really earned his ranking. Also, what a joke it is for his crooked promoter to be campaigning Solis for a rematch with Vitali in September. Solis looked like **** in his last fight; absolutely horrible. He was grossly out of shape, threw less than 12 punches a round and his mobility was dismal at best. His opponent fought scared and himself didn't throw many punches in what was one of most boring hw fights this year. Suffice to say, Solis did nothing to market himself to the boxing public, let alone get the Klitschko people interested in him..

Really can't add much to this. Solis doesn't deserve a thing, as far as I'm concerned. The shame of it is that he's probably the best heavyweight in the world not named Klitschko (if he'd just get himself in shape).

Very. . . . . . . he's spreading his talent like jam and stuffing it down his cake hole.

[Epinephrine]

if he fights vitali again it should be part of the contract that solis must not weigh more than 230.

[ShoulderRoll]

I'd rather see Solis get the shot instead of Manuel Charr.

Solis has never even beaten a top 25 HW, and he didn't look like a contender in his fight with Airich.

People like Helenius, Chisora, Pulev, and even Tyson Fury have better wins during the past two years than Odlanier "Piggy" Solis.
