Solis vs Oquendo on Mayy2nd on ESPN FnF!

[mrlopez]

Looks like unbeaten Olympic heavyweight gold medal winner Odlanier Solis (13-0, 9 KOs) and longtime heavyweight contender Fres Oquendo (29-5, 18 KOs) will collide on the May 22 ESPN2 show. The bout will take place at the famous Fontainebleau Hotel directly on Miami Beach. The bout will be a step up in class for Solis, who has impressed against lesser competition. Oquendo is coming off a controversial split decision loss to James Toney in December.

I am and have been very excited about Odlanier. He's not as tall as the other HW's, but has decent size(6'1-6'2, has fast hands, hell of a punch and seems to have the skills to be very competitive in the sorry HW division) He's been stepping up his competition and is very exciting to watch! He is the Cuban boxer who defeated David Haye for the Gold Medal in the Olympics! I'd definitely like to see a rematch of those 2 down the road. Haye dropped him in that fight, but Solis came back to hurt and win convincingly......

Solis, Haye, Povetkin, Arreola, Dimitrenko are the guys i'm excited about in the division!!!!! I know they'll put the excitement back in the Heavys because its been missing.

No one cares huh??

Solis looked awful against Burnett last time out... this actually might be way too big of a step up for him at this point if he doesn't get his act together.

Good it's about time Solis stepped up. But at 6'1 the weight he carries is bad for him.

He did look awful but he closed the show...no? I think him stepping up in comp now, he's going to look a lot better......he needs more road work tho, flat tire around his waist looks like ****. He reminds me of Arreola in that he is pretty good, but not disciplined enough......

Tru tru, more roadwork, less food

Two more fat, boring-ass mofos.

They should bring some decent heavyweights over from Europe and show them on ESPN.

Solis is just fat, way to fat. His fat to talent ratio is like 3:1

Joking aside he's really talented but isn't in shape

2 more? Solis is fat but has a lot of tools to make some noise in the HW division, he won the gold medal like your boy did in the olympics, is undefeated and brings excitement to a boring division......dont hate

And if you dont like him, think of it this way(eventhough i dont), he's another guy your boys can ko
