Solis: "I’m comfortable at this weight. I’m not even thinking about weight, only my conditioning.”
Translation: "I'm a fat pig who can't be bothered to get in shape."
I'm glad Solis doesn't like the sport of boxing: he won't be in it much longer.Comment

I worked with him here in South Florida for his first fight vs Diaconu. He trained down here even though the fight was in Montreal. Solis was also training here as were a couple of other pro's you will see in the future.
Really cool guy and I even got to do a little sparring with him.Comment

When he defeated Haye in the amateurs in 2001, they were both ~91kg. Just look at the two now, Haye is looking sharper than ever and Solis is carrying around 30-40 pounds of useless weight. The dude was quick on his feet once... now he slows down tremendously after doing two steps ...aaaaaComment

I don't have a hard time imagining he is cool a dude
some people think he's ****y and has a big mouth fundamentally, but I don't believe that, he's confident, the ****iness is all part of the hype for his fights
unfortunately, he wasn't as popular as let's say Bute here in Quebec because people thought he was all talk and had a big ego
his popularity has grown quite a bit though in the last months and the public perception shall change hopefully so that people make the difference between his boxing personality and his civil personality
how hard does he hit ? maybe you don't really know because he didn't really go for it when you sparred...Comment
