Comments Thread For: Odlanier Solis-Nikolai Valuev Ordered By The WBC

[THE REED]

Interesting, to say the least...

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Doesnt Haye have a rematch with Valuev.

[PittyPat]

I had no idea the WBC even acknowledged Valuev's existence.

[Jim Jeffries]

If Valuev wins, will he still duck Vitali like a big ***** *****?

No way Valuev beats Solis, unless he gets a gift.

nice...solis by ko in 8 or under and if he comes in weighing in the 240's 5

At around 270 in his last 2 fights, I don't see that happening.

[Pirao]

Excellent news! This is a much more interesting fight than Solis-Austin, since Valuev is still ranked in the top 10 by most sources. Also this should free Haye of the Valuev rematch.

[ADozenArrows]

Absolutely terrific news. Valuev doesn't deserve an immediate rematch and I really don't want to see Haye-Valuev II.

Bring on Haye-Klitschko and then Haye-Solis!

Good elimination fight, hopefully Solis emerges as a good contender.

[southpaw_07]

begs the question, does this free up haye from any potential re-match with valuev?

if Solis slaughter Valuev, it wont look good if Valuev whines about a rematch with Haye

[Davros?]

cool well hopefully this means Haye is free for Wlad/Vitali.

[Heru]

Just because the WBC ordered it, doesn't mean it will happen. The way Valuev has been carefully handled, I don't see him taking this fight. Not sure about the terms in the Haye contract, but it can't be a good thing if he loses against someone else.

How do you think Valuev was able to turn down a career high payday against Vitali? He has other options and Solis is probably not in the plans. Valuev will either continue to sit on his rematch or take a stay busy fight in the mean time.
