    You're correct, MAЯA.

    Both appeared very tired by the mid-rounds. Solis appeared gassed several times after trying to KO Austin.

    Several years ago, Austin maintained his stamina to the end of the 12th round, but tonight the 40 year old appeared tired by about the 6th round.

    Austin of course is old, but there's no excuse for Solis to be in such poor physical condition that he tires like that.

    Solis is going to need to get into better shape to have a chance against Vitali. The big difference: Vitali will be fit, he won't get tired easily like Austin did tonight. And of course, he has much better skills too.

      Adamek would beat Solis with easy man. Solis only chance is to catch him flush with an over hand right. thats it.

      I mean everytime Austin threw his peanut jab he kept Solis away and could fire up his peanut body punches which tired Solis.

      heres this is for you Solis couldnt finish him, plus I thought you were some kind of a threat to Vitali....I thought it would be a good fight

      Solis jab was not that bad...

        I wouldn't count 40 years of age as much as factor as before, ie in the 60, 70s. Vitali is 40 and is still boxing good, Hopkins still at it.

        Though it won't help when Solis beats him!! If Solis turns up and puts some combos together he can beat Vitali IMO.

          I didn't get a chance to see the fight, I'm somewhat glad I missed it because it sounds like it was uneventful. Based on the comments, I guess it is safe to assume that Solis stands no chance winning against the Klitscko brothers. How about a fight between Solis and Adamek or Arreola? Does he stand a great chance of winning if he were to fight these two?
