Comments Thread For: Odlanier Solis Happy To Be Home, Ready For Klitschkos

BIGPOPPAPUMP

Just winning is no longer good enough for Odlanier Solis, not as far as his critics are concerned. The former gifted amateur and 2004 Olympic Gold medalist as massively underperformed thus far as he approaches six years in the pro ranks.

The irony in the statement is in the ambitious matchmaking that came early in his career. Solis was fast-tracked to contention, along with stablemates and fellow Cuban defectors Yuriorkis Gamboa and Yan Barthelemy, all of whom turned pro in Germany in 2007.

More than half of Solis’ pro career thus far has taken place in Germany, and to where the heavyweight contender returns on Friday, March 22. Awaiting him will be unbeaten Norwegian heavyweight Leif Larsen (17-0, 14KO), marking Solis’ second fight since the lone loss of his career. [Click Here To Read More]

Solis should get a Vittles rematch.

If he shows up in shape, and makes a good account of himself against Larsen, I will get interested in him again.

Leif Larsen is awful. He's like the poor mans version of Helenius. Stands straight up. No inside game, the body is wide open, awful footwork, slow as hell.

This should be a knockout finish for Solis, after this I want to see him get the bigger names again. Turning Down the Adamek fight was very dumb. He would have crushed Adamek.

He was clearly leading the fight until the injury..........

Does that ring a bell? Sounds stupid doesn't it.

He was winning decisively up until that point though. Reminiscent of Vit-Byrd where the guy winning got an unfortunate injury.
