i knew klitschko would get an extension. i kind of laughed when i saw solis as a possible opponent a few weeks back & a well known klitschko fan swore up & down wlad wasn't fighting solis. now he is the one talking about the fight. solis is hard to read. sometimes he looks so lackluster & out of shape but other times he will still look out of shape but he will throw quick power combinations & take a guy out impressively. the talent is there & if he could get into decent shape he could be trouble for any HW but that 1.8 million, multiple knee surgeries & a long layoff could have taken what little motivation solis has left. i wonder if povetkin will just wait until his mandatory or take another fight? i'm sure he will wait & not make the same mistakes mercer(ferguson loss), mccline(brock loss), & tua(barrett 2 loss)did when they were all but signed for a world title shot.
