IMO Odlanier Solis will KO Ray Austin within 6 and greatly trouble Klitschko

Maybe he'll beat Ray Austin, but a Klitschko, keep dreaming. Maybe if he fights Vitali when he's 40+ and shot.

Here is my Solis vs. Austin bets thread http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9708156#post9708156 my 30k for your 20k Nah, I'll green ya extra when it lets me...

Solis wins this fight by stoppage in the late rounds. Solis is the goods. The additional weight was intentional on his part. He felt that he lacked real power early in his HW career. Since putting on the pounds, he's bear-attacked everyone in front of him, including much taller dudes. He's a sharp combination puncher with a solid guard. I bet you he doesn't lose a round (has he even lost any so far?)

Actually Austin has been in shape in his last couple of fights. Problem is that he hasn't fought in a year. He was in great shape against Golota and beat him easily in one round. Like I said, he will outbox and win a decision against Solis. If I'm wrong, I'll give you that green K you're looking for...

Vitali can't fight on the inside, that said. I wasn't suggesting he was Tyson or anything, I was saying he punches instead of grabbing/holding (like Wlad) when the fight gets up close.

You guys forget that Ray Austin is a big heavyweight at 6'6" and his only loss in the last 4 years was to Wladdy! He has much more experience and I bet he wins by decision if he is in any kind of shape. Check out his record, not too bad for a bum! http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=16778&cat=boxer

Solis isn't beating sh!t and he is going to get out boxed by Austin which is sad. Keep dreaming on anyone beating the K2 until they are too old or they just retire. Disagree with the first sentence. Agree with the second.

That was almost a decade ago, and he's completely out of shape now (270lbs). Solis hasnt taken his career seriously enough. Have you seen his last fight? Walking around flat-footed and throwing slow punches.... I'm sorry bro I just don't see it. Three words: "What he said." But I didn't chime in just to agree. Here's my two cents: Sixteen pro fights against inferior opposition doesn't cut it when you've spent your whole life in the amateurs. And you want to fight a guy with an 88% KO percentage? Odlanier is small for a modern heavyweight. His natural fighting weight is probably closer to 210 pounds. He's been coming in at around 270 for his last few bouts. That's way too fat. But even if he came in at, say, 230 he'd probably still be too small. This, above all else, is what I see as his major problem. Then there's the questionable work ethic.... Solis has a lot of talent, but he's a long way off from being ready for either Klitschko brother. He and his handlers are looking for a quick payday. If Odlanier gets his day with Vitali in March, the most I'm hoping for is that he goes the distance without embarrassing himself. I hope it's not too much to ask.

Vitali can't fight on the inside, that said. As soon as he gets himself into reasonable shape I see him posing big problems for either Klitschko. That's if he gets off his ass and gets into shape though.

Sorry, Vitali. I don't Vitali will crush him TBH. Odlanier beat David Haye back in 2001 and he wrapped up a solid record. This is not going to be an easy payday IMO.

Solis isnt fighting Wlad, he's fighting Vitali.... who can fight on the inside and isnt afraid to bang. Vitalis gonna crush him.
