Comments Thread For: Odlanier Solis' Promoter: "Bring on Vitali Klitschko!

[Pirao]

Well, promoters talking BS as usual, nothing new, but Solis will get battered if he fights Vitali right now.

OMFG there is a person with some boxing knowledge in a boxing site.
Solis is a pathetic fatass who defeated tomato cans his entire pro career.
Wow!So, after defeating another tomato can he is ready to fight a Klitshko.LMFAO!
I had my share of tomatos last night.All these lazy fatasses are looking for a pay-check.
It is a disgrace that today you can have a title shot fighting bums and this guy Solis fought only bums.
There is a reason why these promoters refuse to put these guys against real fighters,because they suck and there is a high risk that they would lose,therefore we have to read these ridiculous statements until they get beat by the Klits barely throwing a ****ing punch in the entire fight.

For someone who talks about boxing knowledge I feel as if I have to disagree with you. I will start by saying the obvious. Solis had a great amateur career and no he is not ready for a fight with Vitali. But the only one talking about a fight with Vitali is Solis's promoter. And if he wasn't he really would not be doing his job, now would he? And you also stated that Solis has fought nothing but tomato cans his entire career. I find that statement to be rather strange considering the fact that Solis has fought only 16 times as a pro. Because you make it sound like he has had 35 fights when in reality he has not even topped 20 yet. And so far Solis has fought Barret who was a good enough test for Haye, and Drumond, who just fought for the WBA championship last year. And he actually was in that fight with Chagaev until it was stopped because of an accidental head butt. And I have to ask who else was Solis supposed to fight within his first 16 fights? And I am no expert but that seems like decent enough opponents for a fighter at Solis's level to me. As far as the tomato cans are concerned, I will just ask how many other fighters have had their share of tomato cans within their first 15 fights? I would think the answer would be the large majority of them. And there is something else interesting about Solis's record. And that would be that he has not fought a fighter with a losing record. With that said, I am not even defending Solis. Because he does need to come to fight in better shape and he is no where near ready for a Klit brother. However, I also believe it is foolish to be so critical of a fighter with so few pro fights.

i wouldnt doubt if this happens. solis need to drop at least 20 pounds. not be so flat footed and pick up the pace in their a bit. dont see it happening tho

A fat HW "you know what" pretty much has close to 0% chance of beating Klitschkos because mobility is a key weapon against them as well as many other attributes.

you make me remember

I remember a lesson I learned (and not only me there in Cuba) in 1999. A simply kid, just 18 y. o. challenging OUR CHAMPION. EVERYBODY said "poor boy, Savon will eat alive this insolent boy, this little boy IS GOING TO LOSE for sure". What happened? Savon couldn't win and even lost. EVERY cuban was impressed with that. The lesson, you can talk whatever you want BUT in boxing your words can become just blahblahblah...
Enjoy the show

Felicidades Odlanier!!! Sigue trabajando duro.
