Okay, about time.... Solis had his fight rescheduled like 5 times

[Cuban Linx]

I hope he doesn't back out of this one.

That's what I'm worried about as well.

Not this **** again isn't Thompson 89 by now? I still say as i did couple years ago my favorite Cuban heavyweight is Mike Perez even tho Lard Boy has been training hard and was looking fit-ish.

Good fight if it happens.

Wonder what shape/weight Odlanier will come in at.

[Weebler I]

Nice fight, the rotund Cuban takes it imo.

Exactly. This would be an awesome fight I'd slightly favor Solis to win, but if he ducked Kevin Johnson, I'm expecting him to duck Thompson as well.

[Cardinal Buck]

This will look the same as Solis-Austin.

[katjack]

Aside from Vitali, this is the best fighter Solis has been in with. Which is sad because I expected more from Solis when he turned pro.

Perez has a more fan friendly style, but I think Solis beats him. I still believe Solis is one of the top heavyweights in the world, and I definitely think he'd score a wide UD over Thompson.
