Comments Thread For: Odlanier Solis-Ray Austin on December 17 in Florida

[The Hammer]

Solis will easily beat old Ray Austin.

But even though he may be past his 40th birthday when the fight happens, Vitali will defeat Solis next year.

Solis is the cuban version of areola i like both guys but against an elite fighter like the bros they will get ko

[Mikhnienko]

Ray Austin hasn't lost since losing to Klit and has pretty much earned his opportunity.

Yeah Austin is alot better fighter than he showed in the Klychko fight, most haven't seen anything else though.

[Hitman932]

I wonder if Vitali will retire since he will have to face Solis.

It will be be the first threat and live opponent that he has faced since... his retirement. Solis may be overweight, but he's the truth nevertheless.

Nothing funnier than a Bute fan insinuating that another fighter is afraid of a challenge.

solis has done absolutely nothing in the heavyweight division.i have no idea why people think hes such a force.amateurs mean nothing....jorge luis gonzalez,tyrell biggs were great amateurs & did nothing in the pros.alls ive seen is him do is beat barrett(who had 4 days notice)& get fat...austin is in shape & is better than most think.he had a bad night & was overwhelmed by the experience vs wlad.he went from thunderbox to a world title fight in 2 years...hes not that bad & solis will have his hands full.i wouldnt be surprised if solis lost to austin.great fight that is of huge importance to the division.
